In an act of submission to the United States’ policy of aggression, Colombia’s President-elect announces that he will break ties with Cuba
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba rejects the statements made on 26 July by the President-elect of Colombia, Abelardo de la Espriella Otero, who announced that he would close his country’s embassy in Havana and that his government would have no ties whatsoever with our country.
These statements run counter to the historic relations of friendship and brotherhood between Cuba and Colombia.
73 years ago, today on July 26 1953, a band of 160 young Cuban revolutionaries, launched what would become one of history’s most consequential acts of defiance. Their assault on Moncada Garrison in Santiago de Cuba and the Carlos Cespedes Barracks in Bayamo, marked not merely a military operation, but the birth of a battle cry of a revolution, that would reshape the Caribbean and inspire liberation movements worldwide.
