Two fallen riders and a group of peasants who wanted to throw the fences and enter the Zocalo in the middle of the parade were the incidents of the celebration for the 109th Anniversary of the Mexican Revolution.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador arrived at 11:17 hours at the main balcony of the National Palace to witness the historical staging and then the acrobatics of the cavalry of the Mexican Army.
But this other rider made it luxury.

Minutes before the parade began, when the song of El Barzón was heard in the background, a group of peasants from San Lázaro reached the first painting of the city, in their attempt to get as close as possible to the National Palace. It was a moment of tension between the group of disgruntled and some attendees who began shouting insults at them.
With the advance of the last contingent, the commercial activities of the Historic Center were resumed, especially in the Plaza de la Constitución, which served as the setting for the memory of the Mexican Revolution.
