On April 28 the newspaper Granma published the plan for ensuring
transportation to the International Workers' Day parade in order to
facilitate Cubans from various municipalities getting to the Plaza of
the Revolution. All very spontaneous.

"A colorful parade, flavored with socialism, in which, formed into
blocks, more than a million people participated, comprising everyone
from Havanans to Palestinians. Hundreds of thousands of workers,
employees, and students paraded with the colors of the Cuban flag,
shouting slogans supporting the revolution, socialism, and the
leadership of Fidel and Raul Castro." OK, I'm not really a prophet, but
those are the words, more or less, that are published every May 1st. A
bunch of crap.
