Díaz, who is the secretary of the Municipal Committee of the Young Communist League (UJC) in Plaza de la Revolución municipality, in Havana, affirmed that every day, in any possible spaces, decent Cubans must condemn US hostility.
Our demand is legitimate and worthy, it will not cease until this inhumane policy disappears, he told Prensa Latina.
The lawmaker from the National of People’s Power Assembly (Parliament) also participated in the mass march held on Friday in the capital in response to a call from Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel.
Díaz-Canel and the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Raúl Castro, led the rally to demand the end of the blockade and Cuba’s exclusion from the State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT) list.
It is time for the people to continue, with more strength, united in a bloc, demanding the elimination of the blockade and Cuba’s exclusion from that spurious list drawn up by the White House, Danhiz Díaz insisted.
It is essential “to educate young people about the impact of the blockade, presenting them with the daily problems as a result of these measures,” he pointed out.
Now that (Joe) Biden is about to conclude his term and (Donald) Trump is going to return to Washington, it is opportune to condemn the policy of that great empire against our people, although it is always, absolutely always, necessary to shout Down with the blockade, he expressed.
He added that “the march of the fighting people gains more value when 20 years have passed since the historic speech by the commander (the historic leader of the Revolution, Fidel Castro) in front of what was the USIS (United States Interests Section in Havana).”
Thus, the “Proclamation of an adversary to the United States Government,” as Fidel’s speech was called in May 2004, in a mass demonstration against the measures announced by the US administration of George W. Bush, he recalled.
Díaz stressed the importance of recovering the tradition of the great marches as a form of mobilization of the people, despite the current challenges.
It is important to mobilize ourselves, to bring the new generations to the historic anti-imperialist platform, so that they understand its great relevance for the revolutionary movement, he noted.
And it is also valid to continue to show our unity, because we have many problems to solve, but we are together, without promoting actions that are detrimental to the harmony, strength and unity of the people, because then it will be an opportunity for the enemy to attack us, he stated.
