On this International workers Day, when Cubans celebrate their conquests, in different parts of the world a different day is lived. This is what we follow through the pages of the press agencies.
One example is Spain, where the two main trade union organizations announced from the city of Madrid that today they will hold more than 70 demonstrations throughout the country, in view of what they consider the unwillingness of the Mariano Rajoy ´s conservative government to reverse their regressive economic policies.
The dawn today is featured by the typical image of the historical Revolution square, the one of all the Cubans. However, Cuba and its certainty about the principles on sovereignty and self-determination will keep being a proper guide for its people and it will also welcome other friends of the world.
A dozen men and three women were presented this Sunday, April 29, with the honorific title of Heroes and Heroines of Labor of the Republic of Cuba, by José Ramón Machado Ventura, second secretary of the Party Central Committee.
The workers we award today summarize an almost anonymous labor of dedication, integrity and altruism, seeking to exalt the homeland, stated Consuelo Baeza Martín, member of the secretariat of the Cuban Workers’ Federation (CTC), during the ceremony held at the Laguito Protocol Hall, in the capital.
As part of the work to strengthen ties of solidarity, the Delegation of the Cuban Institute of Friendship in Guantanamo prioritizes in 2018 the attention to foreign students who are enrolled at the University of Medical Sciences (UCM, in Spanish abbrevaition) of the province, an institution that welcomes young people from 37 countries.
When thousands of workers around the world demonstrate in the streets for better wages and working conditions among other basic rights, in Guantanamo, we will celebrate the International Proletariat Holyday with multiple achievements and motivations.
