Marcelo Abdala

In 2022, he highlighted the importance of the annual May Day celebrations, emphasizing that they would take on greater significance in light of governmental restrictions. Recently, he was in the news for the PIT-CNT's return to national radio and television coverage for May Day celebrations after a five-year hiatus.
