Celebration of July 26th in Barbados
Today takes place in Barbados, the central act for the National Significance Day, Cubans and Barbadians are celebrating together this July 26th, date of national significance for both Barbados and Cuba. Two heroic events coinciding in the history of two countries in the same geographical region, our Caribbean.
For Barbados, the Barbadian Day of National Significance, for Cuba, the Day of National Rebellion. Barbadians celebrate this date to remember the beginning of the workers' struggles that gave rise to the Revolution of 1937 and later to the Barbadian nation and the independence of Barbados. Cubans celebrate the Day of National Rebellion, to remember the historic feat that young rebels carried out on that day of Santa Ana in 1953, led by our beloved Commander in Chief, Fidel Castro Ruz, an action that began the final stage of the independence struggle in our country, when six years later, on January 1, 1959, the Cuban Revolution triumphed and brought the Cuban people true independence and the end of neocolonialism in Cuba.
The same day in history, the same purpose, the independence of two peoples to establish the rights to sovereignty and to build a better world.
