Our Communist Party is unique
Havana, 14 April 2021. Our Party is unique because it guarantees the unity of all Cubans intent on building a more democratic, inclusive and just society. It guarantees, strategically, our unity, in a world in which political fragmentation of progressive forces prevails in the face of advancing neoliberalism. The centers of capitalist power understand that, in order to win, they need to divide, defeat or co-opt Cuba’s collective forms of organization, resistance and struggle which constitute a real, effective threat to their system.

Remarks by Prime Minister of Cuba, Manuel Marrero Cruz, at the segment of heads of state and/or government of the ECOSOC Forum on financing for development
Mr. President,
The crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic has compounded inequalities between developed and developing countries and has put the spotlight on the need to transform the unjust, unequal and undemocratic international financial architecture.
Developing countries face the challenge of coping with increasing health expenditures, economic downturn, widening of fiscal deficits, foreign debt, food insecurity, unemployment and poverty, all of which jeopardizes the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
