Commander Marcos, also known as Captain Marcos, who is currently 67, was seen at the event of the 30th anniversary of the uprising of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN), which took place in the town of Dolores Hidalgo, in the municipality of Ocosingo.

In a photograph that circulates on social networks, on Facebook pages, and has been massively distributed on WhatsApp, Marcos is seen, who has been living for 40 years in Chiapas, in good health, with his traditional balaclava that covers his face and his pipe.

This time, Marcos is a little overweight, with a bulging belly and with his bandana that he used on January 1, 1994.

During the event in the town of Dolores Hidalgo, Marcos was in a pleasant conversation with Commander Moisés, the man who remains loyal by his side and who in 1994 took over the town of Las Margaritas, along with Commander Tacho, who has left the ranks of the organization.

During the event in Dolores Hidalgo, Marcos did not speak or gave a pronouncement for the 30th anniversary of the EZLN, but it was Moisés who spoke during the event that brought together support bases from the Border, Altos, Selva and Norte of Chiapas regions, as well as visitors from several states of the country and abroad.
