Havana, Jan 16. - "Honor and glory to our heroes fallen in combat on January 3, 2026," expressed Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel today during a solemn ceremony at the José Martí Anti-Imperialist Tribune in this capital.
Courage is the word with which everyone describes the confrontation with the attack on Venezuela; they defended peace, the dignity of Cuba and Our America, added the president, referring to the 32 combatants who lost their lives during the U.S. aggression against the South American nation.
The ceremony began with the musical pieces Su nombre es pueblo (1994), by singer-songwriter Sarah González and performed by singer Annie Garcés, and Canción urgente nuestroamericana (2025), by troubadours Raúl Torres and Fidel Díaz Castro.
The ceremony was attended by the highest authorities of the Communist Party of Cuba, the Government, and representatives of organizations such as the Young Communists Union, the Association of Combatants, the Ministry of the Interior, the Revolutionary Armed Forces, and the University Student Federation.
Thousands of Cubans are currently walking from the José Martí Anti-Imperialist Tribune on Malecón Avenue to the emblematic G Street, both located in the Vedado zone of the capital, on the second day of the funeral honors. Throughout the day, all provinces will pay tribute to the combatants who fell during the attack by U.S. forces against the South American nation and the kidnapping of Bolivarian President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.
