Colorful May Day parades worldwide
The First of May was celebrated around the world as Labour Day. And although this year’s celebrations had a sour note due to ever-deepening economic crisis and cross-breeding with the Occupy movement, they were mostly colorful and cheerful affairs. In some parts the parade was an opportunity to voice a dissent with the government’s labour policies. In other, it was just a celebration. (Photos: Reuters; AFP/GettyImages)
