COMMEMORATION IN ATHENS FOR THE 65TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE GIRON INVASION

A ceremony was held at the New Star Cinema to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the Bay of Pigs invasion.

Cuban Ambassador Aramis Fuente Hernández recalled details of the mercenary invasion of Cuba and how, currently, threats are renewed and the blockade is being reinforced to unprecedented levels with the energy embargo intended to provoke a humanitarian crisis of grave proportions.

Following a reading of poems by the Greek poet Babis Zafiratos, the documentary "Giron," directed by Miguel Herrera, was screened. The film recounts the invasion through anecdotes and details, told by protagonists of the Battle of Giron.
