In addition to describing him as a central figure in the contemporary history of Cuba, Latin America, and the world, the article emphasized that his influence went beyond national borders, becoming an essential reference point for the peoples of the Global South in their struggle for emancipation and social justice.

The text emphasized, “His ability to interpret public opinion, articulate a sovereign national project, and resist external aggression, especially the criminal economic blockade imposed by the United States, solidified his figure as the leader of an unprecedented revolutionary process in Latin America.”

The document also acknowledged that Fidel’s leadership was characterized by his strategic vision, his unwavering commitment to the most disadvantaged, and his capacity to adapt to changing contexts without abandoning the fundamental principles of the Revolution.

The text stressed that at a time when the tightening of the US blockade, the hostility of foreign powers, and internal difficulties test the resilience and creativity of the Cuban people, Fidel’s work and thought remain an irreplaceable guide for the nation, as the island’s President Miguel Díaz-Canel expressed.

The article noted, “His legacy is not a dogma, but a living source of reflection and action, capable of guiding the necessary transformations to face the challenges of the present and build a dignified future for Cuba and the peoples of the Global South.”
