The puppet block.
Cobas.
Assorted reds.

It’s difficult to gauge the numbers. There are tens of thousands in attendance with probably the same number again marching from the coach point outside of town. It’s a very impressive sight from a nearby hill. A sea of people, banners and carnival stuff. The sound systems are belting out a mixture of music and speeches.
