Nobility of Cuban people in Playa Girón highlighted in Panama

Panama City, Apr 19 (Prensa Latina) The Cuban ambassador in Panama, Víctor Cairo, highlighted today the courage and nobility of his people who in 1961 delivered the first great defeat of Yankee imperialism in Latin America at Playa Girón.

In an act at the diplomatic legation to commemorate the 62nd anniversary of that feat, Cairo recalled that Yankee imperialism could not by armed means then, nor by others in all these years, surrender and subdue a Revolution born and built from and with the village.

Evoking the legacy of those who triumphed in just 72 hours despite having less weapons and technology than the invading mercenary troops and those young martyrs who offered their lives in defense of that work, he reaffirmed that April is and will be the month of victory of results and commitment.

In this sense, he highlighted that on a historic date for Cuba in the world, such as April 19, the constitutive day of the Tenth Legislature of the National Assembly (parliament), the highest body of power of the people, took place.

During the day, other groups such as the Martí Association of Cuban Residents in Panama, in their greeting messages for the anniversary, cataloged the epic as a symbol of the courage of the people, willing to defend their sovereignty and independence at any price.

The National Coordinator of Solidarity with Cuba in Panama also launched initiatives such as a walk to Cerro Ancón in which, in addition to celebrating the triumph on the sands of Playa Larga and Playa Girón, they condemned the blockade that the United States maintains on the island for more than six decades.

For their part, various popular organizations such as the National Front for the Defense of Economic and Social Rights ratified that in their commitment to fight for equity and social justice, Cuba and the victory at Playa Girón are a beacon and a benchmark of resistance and victory. .
