Roberto Morales, a member of the Political Bureau and Secretary of Organization of the Central Committee of the PCC, wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that Cuba is commemorating the date and, “as Fidel Castro predicted, we continue to be united for Cuba, writing the history of this unbendable land.”

According to the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, then prime minister of the revolutionary government, the event was one of the most transcendental steps in Cuba’s history.

The event closely united the revolutionary people and achieved the highest degree of unity and organization around the political conceptions of the process of transformations initiated in 1959 in Cuba, the Commander-in-Chief said.

Prime Minister Manuel Marrero, in turn, highlighted the historic event on the social network, and recalled that on that day, the Granma newspaper, the official organ of the PCC, was launched as a result of the merger of the Revolución and Hoy newspapers.

The next day, the first issue was printed, with a circulation of 498,784 copies. The creation of the vanguard political organization of the Cuban revolution also marks the day on which Fidel Castro read the farewell letter left by the revolutionary leader Ernesto Che Guevara before leaving for Congo and then Bolivia, to continue the struggle for the liberation and vindication of the peoples.
