Baire, Feb 24th. - The fiCubarst secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, participates in the national event for the 130 years of the Baire's Cry, an event that marked the resumption of the wars for the independence of the island, on February 24, 1895.
Accompanied by Roberto Morales Ojeda, secretary of organization of the Party, the inhabitants of Baire, belonging to Santiago’s municipality of Contramaestre, recalled the legacy of José Martí, the greatest promoter of the return to arms.
On February 24, 1895, he marked the resumption of the independence struggles against Spanish colonial rule, following Martí's call for revolutionary unity. Baire was one of the key scenarios where patriots such as Saturnino Lora and Jesus Rabbi were raised in arms, proclaiming the beginning of a war that sought the definitive independence of Cuba.
The pre-rising conspiracy on February 24 was carefully organized by the Cuban Revolutionary Party, founded by Martí, with the aim of coordinating simultaneous uprisings in several regions of the island. Despite the difficulties and betrayal of some conspirators, the patriots managed to initiate the insurrection, under the cry of Independence or Death in Baire, as a symbol of resistance and dignity.
With this homage, the Cuban people evoke one of the most glorious and transcendental chapters in their history, and reaffirms the attachment to their traditions of struggle in the construction of the free, sovereign and dignified homeland. (Text and Photo. Cubadebate)
