Diaz-Canel describes US blockade against Cuba as criminal
Havana, Apr 19 (Prensa Latina) The US blockade against Cuba is a crime against humanity, President Miguel Diaz-Canel, now as first secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), reiterated on Monday. The Cuban president closed the 8th Congress of the party, which he described as a milestone in the historic continuity of the Cuban Revolution.
At the Congress, he said that the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by Washington for over 60 years on its small neighboring country has worsened due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
As on the sands of Playa Girón, the Party stands tall and invincible
There is but one commitment: to defend the Revolution and to continue, at an accelerated pace, the construction of socialism - which demands a great deal. We did not inherit a complete work, but a perfectible project that we are honored to continue
