Havana, May 1 (Prensa Latina) President Miguel Díaz-Canel today highlighted the massive mobilization of the Cuban people on International Workers’ Day and emphasized the commitment to the Revolution amid a complex economic situation.
“600,000 Havana residents, millions across #Cuba? No one can say a number with certainty, because any figure seems small compared to the emotion provoked by that sea of people rising from the Malecón into history,” the president highlighted on the social network X.
The head of state emphasized that at the most difficult moment for the country, amid the most brutal pressure and threats ever, from Maisí (Guantánamo) to Mantua (Pinar del Río) and vice versa, the Cuban archipelago shook as a people.
Through the same digital platform, the Secretary of Organization of the Cuban Communist Party, Roberto Morales, confirmed that more than 600,000 people marched in Havana and more than 5.3 million across Cuba.
Numerous Cuban demonstrations, under the slogan “For Cuba Together We Create,” took to the streets of the Caribbean country this Thursday morning in support of socialism and the Revolution.
In the capital, the health sector inaugurated the massive event in recognition of its work protecting the public’s health and denouncing the campaigns orchestrated by the United States government against Cuban medical missions.
On behalf of the Cuban labor movement, the secretary general of the Cuban Workers’ Central Union (CTC), Ulises Guilarte, reaffirmed the Caribbean country’s commitment to a peaceful, prosperous, and just future.
Guilarte emphasized that the sea of people that flooded the squares across the country today confirms the people’s determination to resist the counterrevolutionary attacks, and reaffirmed the will to maintain internal unity and solidarity with other nations.
As a demonstration of global support for Cuba, some 1,000 international delegates from more than 30 countries rallied around the squares alongside the people to condemn the economic, commercial, and financial blockade.
