The subdelegate of the Government in Lugo, Isabel Rodríguez, inaugurated today with the chief commander of the CMT of Parga, José Antonio Roldán, the static exhibition of military material at the CIFP Las Mercedes on the occasion of the complementary activities of the Day of the Armed Forces.
Accompanied by authorities of the local countryside and commanders and military personnel, they explained that the main objective of this activity aimed at Portuguese schoolchildren is to bring the daily work of the military closer to civil society, observing in first person their work with a vocation of service and support to society.
During the activity, the students learned about the different teams with which they carry out their tasks in order to provide them with a better knowledge of unity in the framework of security and defense. In the same way, they attended the explanations provided by the commander, discovering the endowment and utilities of the materials exhibited in different stations.
The deputy delegate thanked the soldiers for their efforts to publicize their work “with a marked didactic character when explaining their role in a school, opening the body to the citizens and establishing synergies between the civilian and military world.” In addition, he recognized “the commitment they demonstrate day by day with the defense and security of citizens, but also on special occasions such as this Day of the Armed Forces, which is configured as a day of encounter and communication between the citizens and the military to strengthen ties along the lines established by the Constitution,” he stressed.
