65 years of blockade, 58 years without Che – The struggle continues!
Dear comrades!
Friends of Cuba!
Before talking about the big political connections, I want to tell you a very personal story: the story of my first encounter with Che Guevara and my recent trip following in his footsteps through Latin America.
Vienna, October 8. The Cuban Embassy in Austria, together with the Austria-Cuba Friendship Association (ÖKG), the Communist Youth of Austria (KJÖ), and members of the diplomatic corps, commemorated today the 58th anniversary of Ernesto Che Guevara's death in combat.
The emotional ceremony, held at the Paseo de los Próceres Latinoamericanos in the Danube Park, stood out for its call for unity and the continued relevance of Guevara's example in times of global challenges.
Comrades.
Dear friends:
Today we gather here not only to remember a date. We are here because 58 years ago, the Empire believed it could kill an idea in a little school in La Higuera. And it failed.
From history, Che asks us what we are doing for humanity.
Cairo, October 8, 2025. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla congratulated Egyptian candidate Khaled El-Enany on his election as the new Director-General of UNESCO via his Twitter account.
In his message, the Foreign Minister of the Greater Antilles reaffirmed Cuba's commitment to continue promoting peace, solidarity, cooperation, sustainable development, and universal access to education, culture, and science.
Cuba will maintain a zero-tolerance policy regarding drug production, consumption, and trafficking. We believe this is the most effective way to protect the human rights of our citizens.
