Cuba May Day 2025: Thousands Defy Economic Crisis in Vibrant Havana March | India Today

Step into the heart of Havana for Cuba May Day 2025, where thousands of Cubans flooded Plaza de la Revolución on May 1, 2025, to revive a cherished tradition halted by recent hardships. Against a dire economic crisis marked by soaring inflation and food shortages, this massive march pulsed with resilience, as workers’ associations waved Cuban flags and posters of Fidel Castro past iconic sculptures of Che Guevara, Camilo Cienfuegos, and José Martí. President Miguel Díaz-Canel watched from the stage, joined by 93-year-old Raúl Castro in his olive green uniform, a nod to Cuba’s revolutionary past. Our exclusive footage captures the sea of banners, slogans like “Viva la Revolución,” and vibrant crowds chanting for unity, despite blackouts and a GDP battered by U.S. sanctions. Cuba May Day 2025 marked a triumphant return after years of scaled-back events, with 200,000 participants showcasing defiance and pride. #cubamayday2025 #havanaparade #economiccrisis #fidelcastro #raúlcastro Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
