FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Countries throughout the world are celebrating May Day, also referred to as International Labor Day. In Russia, the holiday is marked in every big city. In the capital alone, an estimated 120,000 people have shown up.
Russian Trade Unions and the ruling United Russia party have been the first to march and according to police, 120,000 of their supporters have shown up in the city center.
Outgoing President Medvedev and President-elect Putin have joined the rally which makes the event unique. Heads of state have previously never participated in mass rallies alongside other activists.
Communists, liberals and nationalists have held separate marches. All in all some 20 separate events have been announced ahead of the holiday.
Similar events are taking place throughout the country. Due to time differences, some rallies in Russia’s Far East, Siberia and Urals have already finished. About 220,000 people took to the streets in the Far East. The events in the Sakhalin Region, however, were canceled due to heavy rain. Regions to the west of Moscow will join the holiday later in the day.
RT is giving live updates on how the labor rallies unfold.
The spring holiday is also marked in much of Europe. Great Britain, France, Germany, Spain and Greece are also holding rallies.
In France, May Day comes just five days before the second and decisive presidential round. Media reports suggest leftists, rightist Union for a Popular Movement and National Front are holding an indirect battle in the streets of the French capital as they gather for rival rallies.
Greeks are planning to mark the May Day holiday with massive strikes and rallies against tough austerity in return for IMF and EU loans. The country’s railways are among those holding a 24-hour strike. They are joined by public transport employees and sea port workers.
Massive rallies are also planned in more than 100 US cities on Tuesday, as labor, immigration and Occupy activists are set to gather in support of the international workers’ holiday.
Historically, May 1st – International Workers’ Day – came into being in memory of workers’ demonstrations that took place in Chicago in May 1886. May 1 is also recognized in the US as Law Day.
