In Spain this year, May Day was marked by outbursts of violence, particularly in Madrid, when helmeted riot police fired rubber bullets and smoke flares to disperse crowds of demonstrators trying to celebrate the labor holiday despite a government ban. The three main labor unions had called for an orderly rally at a football stadium in the workers’ area of Vallecas where more than 100,000 persons were expected. Slogans called for Socialism and legalization of all political parties. Spain, May 25th, 1977 (Object ID: 6973)
