On May 1st, the people of Cuba will celebrate International Workers' Day, in the midst of a difficult and serious economic and social situation, caused mainly by the negative impact of 63 years of the criminal and illegal commercial, economic and financial blockade imposed by the government of the United States of America.
To which are now added the arbitrary and slanderous inclusion of Cuba on the list drawn up by the US government of countries that promote international terrorism, the numerous measures adopted by the administration of President Donald Trump, and maintained by the current US administration, to harm the Cuban government and people, and which extends to attempts to prevent Cuba's access to the purchase of fuel, spare parts, equipment and even medicines and raw materials for their manufacture, with threats to banks, insurance companies and other companies for developing legitimate and normal exchanges with Cuba.
While they maintained their trade with Hitler's Germany after the outbreak of the Second World War, and today they provide enormous financial aid, military support and political backing to the Zionist-fascist regime of Israel, without which it could not be committing the greatest genocide in living memory after the Second World War.
To this is added a huge propaganda campaign through the main media in the world, including social networks and all the means at their disposal to try to destroy the Cuban Revolution.
To this end, they are using their economic, technological, financial and military power and the serious economic and social consequences of Covid19, the fall in international tourism, the impact of the wars in Ukraine and Israel's aggression against the Gaza Strip on the world economy, These are in addition to the negative impact on the Cuban economy of the disappearance of the Soviet Union and the socialist community in Europe, which have not yet disappeared; suffice it to recall that all the oil Cuba imported and most of its exports were sold to the Soviet Union, which was also its main source of financing.
But contrary to what our adversaries hope, the Cuban people, who are heirs to the heroic traditions of more than thirty years of struggles for their independence, heroic struggles that led them to become the first victorious revolution in the Americas in the 20th century, despite the difficulties, the dangers, the suffering, will remain firm, faithful to the legacy of Comandante Fidel Castro and his comrades; an invincible Revolution, because those who lead it and those of us who follow it are ready to win or die for it.
Long Live the Cuban Revolution
Until Victory Always
Motherland or Death
We shall overcome
