Fidel Castro taught Cubans to pursue dreams that, no matter how difficult they may seem, are achievable if we act with optimism. We learned from Fidel that the unity of our people is essential for the success of his plans and social projects, to guarantee the continuity and defense of the independence and sovereignty of the homeland.
The Commander clearly indicated that working with dedication, perseverance and responsibility is the only way to prosperity and development, always with the inexorable support of advanced science and technology.
On this anniversary of the physical disappearance of the Commander in Chief, Fidel Castro Ruz, we see his immense legacy in the vanguard challenging us. But we also appreciate the permanent teaching when he expressed “…man is capable of overcoming the hardest conditions if his will to overcome does not falter, if he makes a correct evaluation of each situation and does not renounce his just and noble principles”.
Under this conviction, we continue to promote the economic and social development of the country, betting on science, technology and innovation, as approved at the 8th Congress of the Communist Party of Cuba.
Fidel against his enemy
But our historical enemy is determined to interrupt those efforts; to its unjust, cruel and genocidal policy of blockade, the US government today incorporates a fierce destabilization campaign, designed and financed from that country, whose authorities are deliberately, brutally and opportunistically taking advantage of the impact of the pandemic and the enormous difficulties it generates. Openly inciting violence and social disorder, from digital platforms that presume to reject such content and turn a blind eye to incitements to crime and even murder in Cuba.
The fourth generation war laboratories build a parallel reality from which they try to show a climate of ungovernability and promote intervention, under a false humanitarian flag, as they did before in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya and many other ¨colored revolutions¨ following the CIA manual.
We will not give up our rights to development, to progress, to knowledge. We will not give up the Internet which, as Fidel wisely said, seems to have been invented for us, the poor of the earth, since it puts an infinite amount of knowledge at the reach of a click; and above all, we will not give up tranquility, security and peace for our children. With the most valuable teachings of Fidel and an inspiring youth that questions, pushes and defends our besieged square, we are convinced that it is possible to defeat this new imperialist offensive.
There will be no pandemics, no blockades, no imperialist pressures that will change our march towards a sovereign and independent, prosperous and sustainable socialism.
Fidel is present and future, as is the Revolution to which his people give continuity.
Thank you, Fidel, your guiding enduring legacy.
