The strangest images of May Day in Cuba

The rarest images ofMay Day in Cuba They are once again a reflection of the bungles, the shortcomings, the precariousness and the unusual things that are experienced on the Caribbean island.

Hefirst place in the ridiculous Cuban parade he has itGoon, in Pinar del Río. They created a representation of thetomb of Fidel Castro using poly-foam. They added a portrait of the deceased, a wreath of plastic flowers and a "malanguita." They mounted all of this on a motorcycle and proudly displayed it at the demonstration.

They were not the only ones who discussed the "Fidelista" theme; there were also those who made their invocations of the dead in the parade and those who assured that his spirit was there, in the Plaza, on May 1.

Hesecond place The "white walkers" conquered it. They paraded inBaguanos, Holguín. They had the slogans "Cuba Lives and Works", "We are Continuity", "Let's go with everything" tattooed on their bodies and by saying so much, they achieved it. They swept until they gained top position in theemulation of Cuban ridicule.

Inthird position there is the "witch nurse", inHavana. It is a black rag doll, with a gold mask, openwork stockings and a perfect white uniform. It was the symbol of the health workers who paraded in the Plaza de la Revolución.

In the photo, the doll stares into the camera. His eyebrows look raised, as if he were trying to warn of something, but his mouth has been covered with a shiny mask.

Analyzing by organization, health workers were the group that probably left the mostdisconcerting images.

One of them was a newborn baby in the hands of a doctor inHolguin, with a sign for May Day. Another was the "recipe for pain" that Cubans suffer, signed by Díaz-Canel.

ByCiego de Avila Health professionals took to the streets to celebrate Workers' Day with gigantic Abdala and Soberana Plus vaccines, made of cardboard.

At times they look like jars of milk, due to their size and whiteness, but people immediately rule out that this is possible in Cuba. They also created a giant cardboard coronavirus, painted "green" to better combat it.

They also battled the coronavirus inCrosses, Cienfuegos. The performers of this "embodied fight" threw themselves on the ground and attacked "the bug" with a cardboard syringe, which was paradoxically dressed as a surgeon.

Hematernal home of Majagua, Ciego de Ávila, paraded in a horse cart. The pregnant women carried a sign that said "Let's go for more." The scene forces us to remember that Cuba is an aging country, with a low birth rate and that suffers a complex migration crisis. The island is becoming empty.

The least active ministry was that ofAgriculture, which perhaps corresponds to their levels of unproductivity. Their presence in the parade was almost imperceptible and more than ridiculous, they were pitiful. The litter that their representatives carried only had two yuccas, a handful of bananas and a couple of fruit bombs.

The workers of theTourism, not because they have the most resources in Cuba, they did it better. On the contrary, they limited themselves to carrying a large poster and disguised an entertainer as a flamenco, because in the keys in the north of the country you can see these animals, something that most Cubans have not experienced, because the prices of accommodations are too high for a worker.

Domestic trade It continues to be the group at the forefront of botched work and chealdad in Cuba. InPassenger Waterfall, Cienfuegos, on this occasion they showed off: they took the "basket" for a ride in a horse-drawn carriage. They rode to the crib set up, with mattress, pillows and its tulle mosquito net.

InSecond Front, in Santiago de Cuba, they brought out a truck with five gallons of Cooking oil and a cake on display. In the image you can see how people look astonished at the vehicle that leads part of the parade.

The touch of "foreign representation" in the workers' parade was given in Havana's Revolution Square by the Cuban regime itself, placing a Russian flag with a Z painted on it. This is the internationally recognized symbol of support for Vladimir Putin and the invasion of Ukraine.

Miguel Diaz-Canel, who is supposed to be the "head of the Cuban proletariat", the "leader of the Cuban communists", paraded with black Nike tennis shoes. Once again, he showed how much he likes trash, like someone who doesn't want things, in a photo shared on Twitter with the "dictator of his heart."

Despite the grotesque and sometimes ridiculous scenes left by these May Day parades in Cuba, it is likely that the photos will not be able to surpass that catwalk that many Cubans carry in their memory and passed to posterity as"The Bear Parade", also starringDomestic trade.
