Havana, Dec 17 (Prensa Latina) President Miguel Díaz-Canel today reiterated his call for a people’s march to end the United States blockade of Cuba and its exclusion from the U.S. list of countries sponsoring terrorism.
A message released on X by the president asserts that on December 20, “together with the heroic Cuban people, we will go out in combat march to demand the end of the blockade and the permanence of #Cuba on the illegitimate list of countries supposedly sponsoring terrorism.”
He also recalled that on that day, “as we have so often accompanied Fidel (Castro, leader of the revolutionary process on the island), we will see each other in the streets,” the head of state invited.
The Cuban president announced the parade, scheduled in front of the embassy of the northern country in Havana, while speaking at the closing session of the 9th Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Party, held Thursday and Friday in this capital.
In this context, Díaz-Canel called on Cubans to gather and march in front of the diplomatic legation in order to demonstrate the socialist direction of the island’s revolutionary process, which is suffering coercive measures from the Biden administration, and is alert to the rhetoric of maximum pressure from the next occupant of the Oval Office.
Washington continues to reinforce its harassment measures against Cuba, “but it will be impossible for us to surrender and kneel,” said the first secretary of the Communist Party, at the close of the party meeting.
