“Undoubtedly, this is one of the most significant holidays in the world. Because solidarity is the most humane, powerful, and reliable weapon of a working man to protect his rights, interests, and dignity,” Gennadi Zyuganov, leader of the Communist Party of Russia, said.
In exclusive statements to Prensa Latina, the party leader sent a message to the Cuban people and Government on the date, and condemned the United States economic, commercial, and financial blockade against Cuba.
He also condemned Western support for Neo-fascism by sending arms to Ukraine, “where a new army is rearming to attack the Russian people,” he added.
Zyuganov highlighted the struggles for workers’ rights, such as introducing an eight-hour workday and better humane working conditions.
