Message from the Jose Martí Cultural Association of solidarity with Cuba.
In 1959, news of the great victorious revolution in Cuba traveled around the world reaching our country. It was a time when the Greek people were experiencing persecution, exile, imprisonment, executions and extreme poverty at the hands of a regime imposed and supported by US imperialist policy. The news of a country on the American continent gaining national independence and sovereignty, gave us a new-found hope. The leader of the Cuban revolution, Fidel Castro, immediately became known as a symbol and a representative of this hope.
