From our Latin American territories, we express our strength and hope to celebrate with the Cuban people this triumph achieved for the thirty-third consecutive year, the Guatemalan organization stated.

“This result is not just a statistic. It is the echo of the dignity of a people who, despite adversity, have resisted with firmness, creativity, and solidarity,” it described.

It is international recognition of a just struggle, of a resistance that does not yield, of an island that has known how to stand firm in the face of hostility and injustice, the statement emphasized.

This victory is not just for Cuba: it belongs to all peoples who believe in sovereignty, self-determination and global justice, the International asserted.

From our communities, we reaffirm our commitment to the Cuban cause, he added. The Guatemala Chapter of the International concluded by reiterating its call for the United States to end the genocidal and fascist blockade against the Caribbean island.
