May Day around the world

May Day in Havana 2025

No Oligarchs

No Fascists….

… instead the Cuban People’s Unity in the face of the U.S. imposed blockade and economic sanctions.

Gabriel and his companions work at the Renté thermoelectric plant, but that does not mean that their house is not lit for less hours than those of the rest of the people of Santiago, of the Cubans who are suffering from long blackouts.

Like Gabriel, there are millions of Cubans hit by the cruel economic conditions that entangle our daily lives to put a plate on the table every day, turn on the stove, have electricity for all the basic things that depend on it, move to work and return…there are millions who, even so, day after day, put all their energy and ingenuity into looking for alternatives to alleviate the shortage at home and at their workplace, and go to work, and try to do the best they can and know how, so that, despite all that is lacking, there is a result that contributes economically, socially, and there is income where it is produced, and satisfaction where a service is offered, and beauty where there is artistic creation, and a helping hand to those who are left without options, and that there is relief in medical care and light of knowledge in the workshop that is the school.
