Скачать или смотреть Havana marks 500th anniversary amid economic woes

(16 Nov 2019) Cubans were cleaning up the capital Havana on Saturday after a giant street party to celebrate the city's 500th anniversary.
Municipal workers swept trash from the seaside Malecón boulevard as residents prepared to continue the celebrations with a gala event attended by international dignitaries.
Eduardo López Cuevas, director of Cuba's national library, said at a ceremony for a new book of photos called "Noble Havana" that residents were "privileged" to witness the historic moment.
"We are receiving the support of millions of Habaneros who over five centuries helped build this city," he said.
The anniversary comes as the country confronts an increasingly tense relationship with the United States, deepening the country's long-running economic crisis.
