2022 May Day parade in Las Tunas

It is not a slogan, although every year it returns as a routine in the new almanac. May Day..., the Plaza is filled with flags, the streets woke up earlier, the colors fly, dream, adorn.

There is a hubbub of challenges, victories, and new hopes. It is the day of the ardor of the people, of the infinite noise of the factories, of work. Nothing simulates. The routine is extinguished between the suffocation of raising the voices and the posters, of making the difference with the collective initiative, of making oneself felt with the cry of promise and victory, more so now that sacrifice is heart and tool, it does not matter which; it is tomorrow, life.

There is much to celebrate this Sunday, perhaps like never before. We survived the debacle of a pandemic that shakes the world with death and poverty. What to say about us, struck down by a cruel economic, commercial and financial blockade, coined in the empire of the United States!

It is marching through the Plaza de la Revolución Mayor General Vicente García with the certainty of a better day, despite so many threats, shortages, inflation, loss of relatives and colleagues, quarantines, droughts, high prices, blackouts, and total breaks with work and home normality.

That is this May Day... the machete that cleans and cleans, even dented, the stains of the sun; it is the fist that wakes up, starts walking, and advances; the word that unites, the transforming action. The history of farming and resistance of the most.

Here is that force that dawns and brings the brightness of the renewed Homeland. It is town. Ours, purebred Las Tunas, in compact rows for the eternal promise of the farmer, of hundreds of proud men and women, perennial builders... Today is tomorrow. Let's fight. Joy is faith, it runs like the wind, it waves. It is triumphant worker sweat.
