Signed by the renowned writer Miguel Angel Sandoval, the article highlighted the march of more than half a million Cubans last week in Havana and the vote against that measure at the United Nations General Assembly on October 30.

Regarding the former, the media outlet described the march as “multitudinous, indeed, massive, led by President Díaz Canel, and it occurs when there is a sort of fear/panic globally about the change of administration in the United States, which does not occur in Cuba,” he noted.

The march on October 20 tells us about Cuba’s revolutionary strength, the social support that its leadership has and the willingness to continue in a struggle that is a reference for the continent and beyond, the author stressed.

He highlighted the strength of Cuban diplomacy, which in many ways reflects a sustained effort whose goal is the defense of sovereignty. Of course, there is popular support for the Cuban leadership, which, despite everything, including mistakes, maintains the course of sovereignty, independence and Cuban history and its social achievements. Despite the blockade and all the attacks, he added.

In this context, Sandoval described Cuba’s commitment to the BRICS (group of emerging nations), where Russia has a leading role, as news that should make Cuba’s friends and also its enemies think.

Cuba’s participation in the Kazan summit a few weeks ago confirms that it is a country that has, among those who make up this geopolitical bloc, major support and the certainty that the blockade must end, Público Gt stressed.

In other words, he considered, there are three aspects or three pieces of news that generate optimism in the new scenario that is being built: Cuban diplomacy, popular support and fundamentally economic relations with the BRICS.

This occurs on the eve of the commemoration of another anniversary of struggle and resistance for Cuba’s sovereignty and national independence, it is now 66 years of the Revolution, and as always, with great serenity, I say, Long Live Free Cuba!, the article concluded.
