Cuba Cancels May Day Parade Due to Fuel Shortages and Labor Violations.
TL;DR
Cuba is facing its worst fuel shortages in years, with long lines at gas stations and empty roads. The communist government has blamed US sanctions and the failure of traditional oil suppliers, including Venezuela. The fuel crisis has exacerbated economic difficulties in the country, including a slump in tourism and soaring inflation. Late-night fistfights have broken out at gas stations, and the government has cancelled the traditional May Day parade due to the fuel shortages.
