In his congratulatory message to Cubans, the head of State urged them to make, create and destroy every brick of the United States blockade with creativity, “aware that no one will do it for us.”

When celebrating the 65th anniversary of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, he sent a grateful hug for each step of progress in the face of the colossal challenges that have been imposed by six decades of reinforced economic blockade by the United States and the errors resulting from the ongoing search for exits to bypass the brutal siege.

“Today everything seems more difficult than ever due to long years supporting the criminal weight of a policy of sieges and sanctions that seems infinite in its cruelty. But we revolutionaries have not come until this 65th anniversary to surrender and deliver flags,” the dignitary said in his video message.

He pointed out that 2023 ends and it is as if we reached the top of a very high mountain, along winding paths as so many times over 65 years, the climb has been arduous and at times we have had to go back. But we arrived.

Díaz-Canel pointed out that on the path of the socialist ideal, as leaders Fidel and Raúl Castro taught, arriving is winning, aware that each goal is a new starting point.

In this regard, he recalled that the historic generation -against the predictions by the doomsayers of adversity- brought the Revolution to this day, with the conviction that it is possible.

The President noted that from the beginning of the struggles for independence to present day, the secret of the Revolution to sustain itself in the face of all adversities has been popular participation in a unique history of resistance and creativity, with firm leadership and principles as a basis.

“The Revolution is not the work of a day, a year, or even 65 years. It is an idea, a will. This is the Revolution. It’s not any of us alone. It is all of us together, overcoming impossible things,” Díaz-Canel stressed.
