Cuban Culture Day was celebrated in Austria
Vienna, October 20, With a small but moving activity, the Day of Cuban Culture was celebrated today by the collective of the Cuban Embassy in Austria, which during the last weeks has been carrying out actions within the framework of the Day for National Culture.
Vienna, September 3 - The Austria-Cuba Friendship Association reaffirmed its strong commitment to our country during the Volksstimmefest, a celebration promoted by the Austrian Communist Party newspaper, traditionally held on the first weekend of September.
It is an honor to gather in Linz, capital of the State of Upper Austria, to participate in this event, today 26 July, a momentous date for the Cuban history, the Day of the National Rebellion. The assault of Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Garrisons 65 years ago resumed the Cuban liberating and independence campaign that begun on 10 October 1868, 150 years ago. 26 July 1953 marked the beginning of the revolutionary process that would lead - five years, five months and five days later - to the Triumph of the Cuban Revolution on 1 January 1959.
