Every May 4th, Latvia holds a military parade in a different city to celebrate the regaining of its independence. This year's parade, marking the 35th anniversary, took place in Talsi<\/strong>, a town of about 8,600 inhabitants in the northwest of the country.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

As in previous years, the parade was attended by the NATO multinational military contingent deployed in Latvia<\/strong>, as part of an Enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) mission launched by NATO in 2017 (Latvia has been a member of the Atlantic Alliance since 2014) and motivated by the growing threat of Russian imperialism. Spain has been participating in this contingent since its creation with an armored vehicle unit.<\/strong> The current Spanish rotation belongs mostly to the \"Guzm\u00e1n el Bueno\" X Brigade, based in C\u00f3rdoba.<\/p>\n
