Cultural Evening "66th Anniversary of the Cuban Revolution" is celebrated from Finland
The Cuban Embassy in Finland organized a Cultural Evening on the ocassion of the 66th Anniversary of the Revolution that brought together Cuban counterparts, members of our community and friends to admire Cuban cultural values. It was also a moment to thank all our friends our gatitude for their support demanding the end of the US blockade and the exclusion of Cuba from the unjust list of terrorist states. During the conmemoration we welcomed at the Embassy the distinguished authorities of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, HE Mrs. Anna-Kaisa Keikkinen, Director General of Africa, Middle East and Latin America; and HE Mr. Lasse Keisalo, Director for Latin America and the Caribbean. We take this opportunity to thank Finland for its collaboration throughout the year and its support for our denunciation of the US blockade to Cuba.
Cuba's continued presence on that list and the intensification of the blockade policy are ruthless actions against the Cuban people that must cease now!
The current U.S. administration, which today has exactly one month left in the White House, has done nothing to move away from the line of reinforced blockade and economic suffocation of Cuba that was left as a legacy by the Republican administration that returns to the Oval Office in January. With the application of the 243 additional measures and the maintenance of Cuba on the list of countries sponsoring terrorism, Biden has disciplinedly and cruelly complied with the policy that Trump approved during his term.
Informative Note from the Embassy of the Republic of Cuba in Finland and the Baltic States on the March of the Combatant People.
On December 20, more than 500,000 Havana residents, representing the people, led by Army General and leader of the Revolution, Raúl Castro Ruz, and Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, marched in front of the United States Embassy in a massive demonstration against the blockade and the inclusion of the country on the list of State sponsors of terrorism drawn up by the State Department. The rally was a great demonstration of popular support for the Revolution, as well as a show of unity in which the joy, confidence and optimism of the Cubans could be appreciated despite the daily difficulties caused by the maximum pressure policy of the American government. It was a march for life, honor, dignity and for the future of the heroic and peaceful people. Of great symbolism was the encouraging presence of Raúl as the main representative of that historic generation that led us to victory in 1959, walking firmly alongside the youth, who carried forward the premise of not failing those who dedicated their lives to defending national sovereignty.
