Cuban Julio Antonio Mella’s assassination remembered in Venezuela

Caracas, Jan 10 (Prensa Latina) The National Movement of Friendship and Mutual Solidarity Venezuela-Cuba remembered the Cuban revolutionary and student leader Julio Antonio Mella, on the 95th anniversary of his assassination by henchmen of the dictatorship of Gerardo Machado (1925-1933).

The solidarity organization recalled on its X account, the founder of the Communist Party of Cuba with words of the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro (1926-2016), on the half-century anniversary of the founding of the first Leninist-Marxist Party in the Caribbean nation.

“Julio Antonio Mella, one day you said that even after death we are useful, because we serve as a flag. And so it has been! You were always the flag of our workers and our youth in the revolutionary struggles…!” the Cuban Commander-in-Chief pointed out.

Today you are an encouraging, exemplary, victorious and invincible flag of the Cuban Socialist Revolution,” Fidel said at the evening of August 22, 1975.

On January 10, 1929, forces of the dictatorship of the Machado regime shot in the back in Mexico the young anti-imperialist, who at only 26 years of age had woven an important revolutionary work in favor of Cuba and the peoples of the world.

His last words were: “I die for the Revolution”.
