Cienfuegos, Cuba, Jul 26 (Prensa Latina) Cuba represents an alternative to the exclusive order that prevails in the world, President Miguel Díaz-Canel said today, speaking at the celebrations for the Day of National Rebellion.
In the act celebrated for the 69th anniversary of the assaults on the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Céspedes barracks with the presence of the leader of the revolution Raúl Castro, the president said that this is the reason why the US blockade is maintained.
Díaz-Canel explained that the US sanctions policy is the best demonstration that socialism works, because despite everything the country has built an immense work of social justice, with social indicators from the First World.
Under the pressures of a war economy, we have never given up the aspiration to benefit everyone by offering multiple possibilities for human fulfillment, he added.
The president explained that this example of Cuba is attacked by imperial logic, which bets on amnesia and social paralysis and pretends that due to the material pressure of the blockade the spirit of resistance of the people will give up and until the last generation forget why it was done. A revolution.
When trying to alienate young people, they would ignore that before 1959 the North American companies were the owners of Cuba, the vast majority did not own their homes, blacks and mestizos had to enter through the back door, women were at a disadvantage social and urban images were of children working in the streets.
Díaz-Canel stressed that the Cuban revolution is interested in preventing the past from returning, the Cuba of the day after would be the return to the day after the assault on Moncada, a bloodbath, a revenge of hatred and the restoration of what the process forever transformed.
