Statement by the Revolutionary Government

Girón, today and forever!

As long as there is a woman and a man willing to give their life for the Revolution, we’ll be victorious!

Cuba lives under the constant siege of the United States government, whose threats have escalated in recent months. Adding to the ruthless energy siege—which has worsened the genocidal blockade policy over the past six decades—are statements by representatives of the U.S. governmental elite threatening military aggression.

The human and material cost of that blockade is a shame borne by the greatest empire in history.

This act—condemned every year by the vast majority of United Nations member states—is illegal and inhumane, as it violates international law. Moreover, recent polls show that it is largely opposed by U.S. citizens.

Rinde tributo la WFTU en su página web a la victoria de Playa Girón, en el 65 aniversario de esa epopeya.

65 Years from Playa Girón: WFTU salutes Cuba´s antimperialist victory and Workers´s Solidarity.

The World Federation of Trade Unions salutes the heroic people of Cuba on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the historic victory at Playa de Girón.

This decisive moment in April 1961, when the Cuban people defeated the mercenary invasion organized and supported by imperialist forces, remains a powerful symbol of resistance, sovereignty, and the right of every people to determine their own future free from external intervention. On the 18th of April, 1961, under the direct command of Fidel Castro, the revolutionary troops annihilated the invaders in just 66 hours of combat. Playa de Girón stands as the first great defeat of imperialism in Latin America and continues to inspire workers and peoples around the world in their struggle for dignity and social justice.

Today, 65 years later, Cuba continues to face unjust and illegal economic, commercial, and financial blockade measures, alongside ongoing political pressure and destabilization attempts. Despite these challenges, the Cuban people persist in defending their achievements in health, education, labor rights, and international solidarity.
