To the President of the Republic of Cuba
Miguel Mario Díaz Canel Bermúdez,
The Swedish-Cuban Association sends its congratulations to the People of Cuba and to its newly elected National Assembly of People’s Power that today, on the Anniversary of Cuba’s Victory at Playa Girón, elected Miguel Mario Díaz Canel Bermúdez to be the country’s new president, entrusted with this responsibility after Raúl and Fidel. Congratulations to you!
The election of so many women fills us with joy. Half of the National Assembly’s delegates and half of the Council of State are women. We are impressed by how Cuba’s election system has resulted in a national assembly with delegates from all sectors of society so that all of Cuba’s population is well represented.
Cuba, Latin America and the whole world are faced with huge tasks. All that Cuba accomplishes in the struggle for the welfare and dignity of the peoples, and in the struggle against imperialist lies, manoevering and aggression, gives us much inspiration. Revolutionary Cuba has always kept to its principles and is a great example. We are honoured to continue our solidarity with the heroic People of Cuba. We wish President Miguel Díaz Canel, Cuba’s newly elected collective leadership, and all the people of Cuba, great success. ¡La lucha continúa!
The Swedish-Cuban Association
Zoltan Tiroler, President
Martin Österlin, International Secretary
