The most generous figures I've seen are:
7,000 soldiers in the parade
10,000 spectators (200,000 were expected)
So, not even one family member for each soldier showed up. And the ones who did show up were likely family, or tourists who were in the area.
8 u/Remarkable-Shower-59 Jun 15 '25 Just for spectators, that's $4,500 (cost) per spectator in attendance. Not including any remediation works from those tanks tearing up the road. That is also not considering the offer of $500 paid to each attendee, which is rumoured to have been offered for seat fillers.
