Well, May Day in Paris… what an experience..

Just a day before Mariama starts we went to march and watch the very political May Day in Paris. Not your average picnic day as in Australia…what a relief!

French people still idealists! The communist party is happening, the migrant communities (including the Chilean) are very much involved, and it seems that here the struggle has not ended.

You even could hear in the crowds “El pueblo unido jamás será Vencido”, and a jazzy version, a rap version, and your traditional march type of version of the international. (Even in Spanish!)

The most present issue today was about the new migration legislation which is being currently discussed by politicians and the community in France. Elections are around the corner, so some wants to “clean” the country, and others wants “solidarite pour toutes”…

The youth were grooving with the best sound system, rallying with a human chain like marking territory, around them. All ages and shapes, the rally had illegal migrants, the 68 generation, the old militant migrants like the south American community, supporting Cuba, and of course “les femmes”, the women movement!

Enjoy some photos of the day:
