Slovakia

1st of May, International Workers’ Day – It was declared as a public holiday after the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1919. Celebrations are to honor the spirit of the fight against unemployment and deterioration of the status quo for workers. In 1933 – 1938 the celebrations also reflected a protest against fascism and war.

 

Despite of that fact, that on the 1st May was holiday, we also worked. We created our city, when we would like to live ....clean and without rubbish.
