In his closing speech at the 4th Ordinary Session of the National People’s Power Assembly (Parliament), in its 10th Legislature, the president said that these platforms are used to confuse the people and distort Cuba’s reality.

As part of the fierce campaign against the Revolution, it is not possible to surf the web without stumbling upon an avalanche of obscenities, insults, offenses and lies designed to denigrate those who assume a responsibility within the institutionality, he said.

The president commented that they even attack those who decide “to live in the country, without denigrating it.”

It is embarrassing to see Cubans, who were born, grew up and were professionally trained here, “how they distill hatred, rage and contempt against the nation that formed them, as if they felt part of the rebellious and brutal north that despises us,” Díaz-Canel pointed out.

In addition, he recalled that in a letter published with the title “Vindication of Cuba” in The Evening Post, in March 1889, National Hero José Martí defended his country and his compatriots from a public offense. “From New York and stealing time from his feverish political activity, José Martí responded to the insults with his unsurpassed article “Vindication of Cuba,” he noted.

“Our country is in need of another passionate defense of the character, courage and morality of its children on today’s social networks,” he stressed.
