The May Day experiment was broadcast LIVE on May 1st at 6 PM. Due to technical difficulty not all international interviews were included in the show, but can now be seen after the shows end credits.
Hi Tony Platt, thanks for telling us about the map. Now the links are fixed and you can watch the videos they send to us. Please do not miss the Venezuela video, it’s impressive.
Thanks again, Alba Mora-Roca.
Great idea to link us with May Day demos around the world, but links on map take me to Wikipedia and not to your correspondents.
Tony
