MayDay '0850th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution
70th anniversary of the Cuban Workers Confederation
Raul Castro presided over the huge demonstration that took place in Havana, beginning early Thursday morning. The Cuban president was accompanied by the CTC's general secretary, top Cuban government and Communist Party officials, and representatives of organizations from other countries.
More than half a million Havana citizens marched on the Jose Marti Revolution Square bearing flags, banners and placards reading slogans in support of the Socialist Revolution and stressing the achievements of the people over the past 50 years.
Hanging down the facades of surrounding buildings, huge banners featured the current efforts by the Cuban people to boost production and efficiency and their struggle for the release of the Cuban Five, who have been held in US prisons for nearly 10 years now.
The packed march was staged by representatives from Cuban youth organizations working in several of the social and cultural initiatives undertaken by the Revolution, students organizations, construction workers, and other sectors of Cuban society.
