Havana, January 1.- On the eve of another challenging year, the president of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, invited the people to start 2024 with the passion and joy that the task of changing everything that must be changed requires.
In his congratulatory message to the Cubans, the president urged them to make, create and destroy each brick of the blockade with creativity, aware that no one will do it for us.
Likewise, when celebrating the 65th anniversary of the Triumph of the Cuban Revolution, he sent a grateful hug for each step of progress in the face of the colossal challenges that have been imposed by six decades of reinforced economic blockade by the United States and the errors derived from the incessant search for exits to jump the brutal siege.
Today everything seems more difficult than ever due to the long years of supporting the criminal weight of a policy of fences and sanctions that seems infinite in its cruelty. But we revolutionaries have not arrived until this 65th anniversary to surrender and deliver flags, the dignitary said in his video message.
He pointed out that 2023 ends and it is as if we reached the top of a very high mountain, along winding paths and as so many times over 65 years, the climb has been arduous and at times we have had to turn back. But we arrived.
Likewise, he pointed out that on the path of the socialist ideal, as leaders Fidel and Raúl Castro taught, arriving is winning, aware that each goal is a new starting point.
In this sense, he recalled that the historical generation - against the forecast of the doomsayers of adversity - brought the Revolution to this day, with the conviction that it is possible.
Likewise, he highlighted that from the beginning of the struggles for independence to the present day, the secret of the Revolution to sustain itself in the face of all adversities has been popular participation in a unique history of resistance and creativity, with firm leadership and a of principles as a basis. The Revolution is not the work of one day, one year, or even 65 years. It is an idea, a will. This is the Revolution. It's not any of us alone. It is all of us together, overcoming impossible things, stressed the president of the Caribbean nation. (Text and photo: PL)
