More than 200 thousand people march along Plaza Mayor General Calixto García, and more than 500 thousand did it in the whole Holguín province.

Everyone left their houses with the parade motto Unity, Commitment and Victory. They hold flags, colorful kerchiefs and commitments. There are workers, students, combatants, housewives, retired ones, representing each part of the population.

The parade was hosted by General of the Army Ramón Espinosa Martín, heroe of the Cuban Republic, and Ernesto Santiesteban Velázquez, first secretary of the Party in Holguín.

Millions of Cubans from different generations marched on the island's main squares and thoroughfares to celebrate International Workers' Day.

This year, Cuban workers and their relatives are voicing their support for the Revolution, their rejection of the U.S. economic blockade, their solidarity with Venezuela and the commitment for the economic and social development of the island.

The celebration began island-wide at 7 am. In Havana, it was presided over by the Cuban Communist Party leader, Raul Castro Ruz, and the president, Miguel Diaz Canel Bermudez.

Some 1400 Cuba solidarity activists from 103 countries and 140 solidarity organizations from all over the world joined the Cuban people at Revolution Square in Havana.

The begining of the march was preceded by the concept of Revolution, stated by the historical leader Fidel Castro on this same date in 2000:

In order to improve quality and providedservices, hydraulic investments are being carried out in Holguín, including the rehabilitation of water treatment plants and conduits in the so-called City of Parks.

I have had the opportunity to visit the rehabilitations that are carried out in the water treatment plants of "AlcidesPino" neighborhood, the number two in Holguín and the one of Pedernales, as well as the pipelinethat distributes the precious liquid through Frexes Street, where the executive schedules advance.

It is gratifying to witness progress in the planned tasks in the executive schedules of these investments, which seek to stabilize and shorten the distribution cycles, save water and energy carriers, improve the sanitary conditions of the city, and increase water quality.

The city of Holguin grows and welcomes a construction program of houses and buildings, which also implies a greater volume of water to meet the populationdemand, and that is also foreseen in the investments execution.

It is also necessary to guarantee stability in the service and reduce delivery cycles, without neglecting the imperative of reducing a water loss, the saving of energy carriers, so asenhancing services in a general.

The province of Holguín is favored by investments that are made in the diversion areas, which are the sources for the city water supply, and this allows increasing the distribution to the population, something that becomes positive as to face possible periods of drought, which cyclically affect the province.
