The leader of the Revolution, Raúl Castro, and the President of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, lead the workers' rally in this capital to commemorate May 1.
Thousands of representatives of the working class of the Caribbean nation gathered on Havana's Malecon to celebrate International Workers' Day, in an activity that was moved due to weather conditions.
Previously, the traditional parade held at the José Martí Revolution Square on that date was changed to a rally, due to the difficulties faced by the island with the supply of fuel.
All over the country, rallies and parades are also being held this Friday in the main squares of the territories, under the slogan A la Patria manos y corazón (To the Homeland, hands and heart).
The May 1st activities have been carried out since the end of April, with volunteer work, scientific workshops, talks, events and awards ceremonies.
More than a thousand guests from trade union movements around the world and other organizations attended these celebrations and participated in actions in communities in Havana and other provinces.
