The Cuban leader stated on social media platform X: “On this day of homage to Che Guevara, one of his warnings returns with all the vitality that its relevance gives it: ‘Imperialism cannot be trusted, not even a little. Nothing.'”

Diaz-Canel contextualized Che Guevara’s words in the current international scenario: “The peoples of Gaza, Venezuela, and Cuba know this well.”

For his part, Cuban Prime Minister Manuel Marrero, on the same social media platform, revealed, “Present today more than ever, he taught us to always be capable of feeling, deep down, any injustice committed against anyone, anywhere in the world.”

“For that quality that he considered the most beautiful in a revolutionary, Cuba is with Palestine.”

The Caribbean nation’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Rodriguez, also reaffirmed Guevara’s thinking, “His anti-imperialism, Latin Americanism, and fight for social justice will always be defended by our Revolutionary Diplomacy.”

Ernesto Che Guevara, a doctor born in Argentina, was one of the main architects of the revolutionary struggle in Cuba led by Fidel Castro, where he earned the rank of Commander and, since the second half of the last century, has become a reference for communist and leftist thought worldwide. On this date in 1967, he fell in Bolivia, the country where he led the guerrilla struggle.
