[Taz]

The Orden “17 de Mayo” honours Niceto Perez García a man who fought for farmers rights in Cuba.
Niceto was a farmer who came from Filipinas community. He was murdered on May 17th, 1946, by Lino Mancebo Poseí´s agents.
May 17th is observed every year as Farmers Day, since 1959 when the First Agrarian Reform Law was signed that delivered the land to its true owners.

This day, homage is paid to historic agrarian leader Niceto Pérez, murdered in 1946 for defending his right to the land and the foundation of the ANAP, something that became a fact in 1961.
