With the traditional ringing of the bell in La Demajagua, the Day of Cuban Culture will be inaugurated on October 10, which will extend until the 20th, in honor of the 120th anniversary of the birth of the prominent intellectual Alejo Carpentier and art instructors of all generations. Lizette Martínez Luzardo, Deputy Minister of Culture of Cuba, told the Cuban News Agency that the activities in the Cuban capital will begin this Thursday with the presentation of the documentary Comunidad, by Claudio Peláez Sordo, at the Yara cinema, accompanied by a show by the National Folklore Ensemble. In Finland, in cities such as Helsinki, Tampere and Rovaniemi, there will be film presentations, documentaries, dance classes and concerts, and much more.

The US judicial authorities have decided to release Alexander Alazo, the individual who, on April 30, 2020, stood in the middle of the street and shot 32 rounds with a machine gun against the Cuban embassy in that country, at the moment when 7 persons stayed inside the building. This action, perpetrated on a central avenue of Washington D.C., the US capital, against a diplomatic mission, with the stated purpose of causing damage, would qualify as a terrorist act in any country of the world. But that is not the case in the United States, much less when this is about a violent action against Cuba. The government of that country has all the while refused to recognize this act for what it is. At any one time did it have the intention to prosecute the perpetrator as a terrorist, despite the fact that the nature of his actions is explicitly typified in the US legislation against that scourge.
