COMMUNIST PARTY OF GREECE - CENTRAL COMMITTEE
Message to the Communist Party of Cuba for the 63rd anniversary of the Cuban Revolution
Dear comrades:
On the occasion of the 63rd anniversary of the victory of the Cuban Revolution, on January 1, 1959, the KKE extends a warm comradely greeting to the Communist Party and the people of Cuba.
The Cuban Revolution, the first socialist revolution in the American continent, was one of the events that marked the 20th century, it was an inspiration for the struggle of the oppressed and exploited throughout the world, and it demonstrated that the peoples with their struggle have the force to overthrow capitalist barbarism.
It confirmed the validity of Marxism-Leninism and proletarian internationalism. He added figures like Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Raϊl Castro, Vilma Espín, Frank País and others to the pantheon of working class fighters and the revolutionary movement.
The workers' power managed to successfully confront the attempts of counterrevolution and imperialist aggression and laid the foundations for the satisfaction of popular needs, the social rights of which the humble and despised of their continent have been deprived. She gave her internationalist support with selflessness and sacrifice to the popular liberation movements.
Dear comrades:
Currently, the Biden government maintains and reinforces the measures of the barbaric blockade against Cuba and escalates aggressive actions in order to overthrow the power and conquests of the Cuban people. It is essential to reinforce internationalist solidarity with the Cuban Revolution and the people of Cuba. The conquests of the Cuban people become even more evident today, in pandemic conditions, when Cuba has developed 5 vaccines, it has the highest vaccination coverage rates in the world and at the same time one of the lowest mortality rates, while at the same time it has organized an internationalist medical aid to other peoples.
The KKE and the KNE will continue with all their forces to condemn the imperialist criminal blockade against Cuba by the US and all aggressive subversion actions, and will further reinforce their practical internationalist solidarity with Cuba.
In a period marked by the serious consequences of the counterrevolution and the overthrow of socialism in the USSR and other countries, and while the communist movement continues to face serious difficulties and suffers strong pressure from the bourgeoisie and opportunism, the Cuban Revolution is one of the milestones for the defense of History and the contributions of the communist movement, the decisive confrontation of anti-communism and the strengthening of proletarian internationalism, strengthening the struggle for socialism in each country.
