During the event, Alan Diaz Maceo, an eighth-grade student at Ruben Bravo Secondary School, stated that they were born under the United States blockade, “the most criminal in history.”

He emphasized that they are now also suffering from fuel shortages because they lack electricity for efficient participation in classes and for studying afterward with homework assignments.

The First Secretary of the Young Communist League, Meybis Estevez, noted that the blockade affects the care of children in pediatric hospitals, which makes the definition of genocide even clearer.

She emphasized that Cuban youth will never betray the legacy and history of the Revolution, nor their commitment to continue fighting for a better country, free from the blockade.

The parade concluded with a rolling procession along Havana’s Malecon, from Avenida de los Presidentes to Parque 13 de Marzo.

Similar events took place in every province across the country.

This activity is part of the celebrations commemorating the 65th anniversary of the Jose Marti Pioneer Organization and the 64th anniversary of the Young Communist League (UJC).
