In a message addressed to President Miguel Diaz-Canel, the United Left Movement (MIU) affirmed that January 1, 1959, is a memorable date in its historical, political, libertarian, and independence dimensions.

The note highlighted the significance of this year, in which the centennial of the birth of Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro (1926-2016) is commemorated, “whose humanist, integrationist, internationalist, unitary, solidarity-based, anti-imperialist, and anti-colonialist legacy continues to guide the innovative resistance struggle of his people.”

Furthermore, the MIU condemned the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States on Cuba, which it described as inhumane and contrary to the will of the majority of the countries that make up the United Nations.

It also recognized the effort and sacrifice of the Cuban people in the struggle to defend the sovereignty of their homeland.

“We reaffirm our friendship and fraternal relations with the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), with its State and Government authorities, and with the heroic and combative people,” the statement reads.

For its part, the Central Coordination of the Caamanista Movement highlighted the island’s resistance and endorsed the condemnation of U.S. aggression against countries such as Venezuela, Nicaragua, Mexico, and Colombia.

For its part, the Dominican Popular Movement asserted that the Cuban Revolution was the most significant in the region and in almost the entire world.
