May Day



More Labor marches for May Day. You can see lots of labor union paraphernalia. Marchers also carried Republican flags and Galician nationalist flags.

A friend and I were walking towards the old town of Vigo and in Puerta del Sol we ran across some sort of Communist rally. For me it was very strange. They had Soviet flags, people were doing the Communist salute (with the elbow making a right angle and your fist closed), and everyone was singing some anthem (which could of course have been the Internationale, but to be honest I don't know the tune).

According to the next day's newspaper, there were 20,000 marchers.
