Havana, April 16.- Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) and president of the Republic, attended today the commemorative event for the 63rd anniversary of the proclamation of the socialist character of the Revolution .
At the intersection of 23rd and 12th streets in Vedado, the capital evokes the moment when Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz said goodbye to those who fell in the bombings of April 15, 1961, a prelude to the mercenary attack on Playa Girón.
Also present are the members of the Political Bureau Roberto Morales Ojeda, Secretary of Organization of the Central Committee of the PCC; Ulises Guilarte de Nacimiento, general secretary of the Cuban Workers' Central, and Teresa Amarelle Boué, general secretary of the Federation of Cuban Women.
"Girón no concluyó en las arenas de aquellas playas en el sur de Matanzas", expresó en el Acto el Capitán de la Reserva y combatiente internacionalista, Pastor Cantero, quien dijo que los cubanos siguen combatiendo.

Fidel expressed on that day that this is “the socialist and democratic Revolution of the humble, with the humble and for the humble.”
Also present at the ceremony are combatants from the Girón epic in which Cuba, with the leader of its Revolution at the helm, liquidated the Yankee invasion in less than 72 hours and achieved victory on April 19, 1961. (ACN) ( Photo: @PresidenciaCuba)
