Bogota, April 22 (RHC)-- The President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, has announcedthat he will participate in the massive rally on May 1st, within the framework of International Workers' Day.

In a message published on his official account on the social network, he said:  “I will go as before, walking, I hope you will accompany me throughout the country.  It will be a walk for labor dignity,” said the Colombian head of state.

He added that May 1st will be a day for all health workers to leave because their job stability is about to be achieved.  “For the right to retire, for a better salary and for cheap loans for the popular economy.  Let the peasantry go out to the city and the indigenous people for agrarian reform,” Petro said.

“Let the young people of the popular neighborhoods come out in droves, remember that I am their president, to sing, to dance, to fight for free higher education and for youth cooperative credit,” he continued.

The Colombian president observed that the general mobilization of citizens has been called and from there, the constituent power that is the power of the people, May Day is a beautiful day to show the power of the people who work, study and create.

“The hatred is theirs, their spiritual violence that does not want education to reach the people, the plate of hot soup to the old man and the doctor to the pregnant woman and the girl, they do not want the working woman to have dignity. Ours is joy, peace and love.”
