From Lenin Hill they call to celebrate May 1st.
HAVANA, Cuba.- The Workers’ Central Union of Cuba (CTC in Spanish) called this Thursday for the celebration of May 1st, a working-class holiday that will have a different nuance for the conditions the nation lives through from the confrontation of the new coronavirus.
“We call for the celebration of this May 1st. under very different conditions than usual, although with the same enthusiasm and spirit of victory that nothing and no one will be able to change,” Secretary General of CTC Uises Guilarte said in reading an allocution from Lenin Hill, in Regla municipality.
The trade union leader said the celebration of International Workers’ Day will have our homes as main scenario, become alongside the family in the decisive trench in the battle against the pandemic that plagues us.
Guilarte called for increasing social discipline and individual and collective responsibility.
