The Honorary Committee for Fidel Castro’s 100th Birthday called for a patriotic event in this northwestern city, coordinated jointly with the Dominican People’s National Solidarity Campaign with Cuba.

The organizers noted that the event, a reaffirmation of patriotism, solidarity, and friendship between the two peoples, will begin with a meeting at Reloj Park and later march to the Maximo Gomez House Museum.

Cuba’s National Hero, Jose Marti, and Dominican hero, Gomez, signed on March 25, 1895, the momentous document in Montecristi, conceived as the political program for the 1895 War.

When Marti and Gomez signed the document that day, the veteran soldier’s commitment to the liberation plans outlined after the 1891 announcement of the creation of the Cuban Revolutionary Party (PRC) was sealed.

The Montecristi Manifesto disclosed to the world the organizational foundations of the struggle and remains, more than a century later, a key point of reference for unity around the Cuban Revolution.
