And the band sounded especially tuneful and jaunty this morning.
Main themes were peace and freedom, two “F”s in German: Frieden and Freiheit. The banner in the photo says “Watch wars [without doing anything] and cut the budget for those fleeing them?” Interesting, but typical for the Social Democrats, that the sign uses the less negatively connoted “Flüchtende” (fleeing people) rather than the older, more loaded “Flüchtlinge” (refugees).

I’m having a May Day party today, so I printed your picture as an example to show friends who know nothing about International Worker’s Day.
I trust the party was a success. 😊
Yes, we had a lovely time!
