At the event, lawyer Lidice Carballo Farfan strongly refuted the U.S. Department of Justice’s indictment of the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Raul Castro Ruz.

In her address, she recalled that this illegitimate accusation was made on May 20, obscuring the historical truth about the downing of two aircraft belonging to the terrorist organization Brothers to the Rescue in 1996, which Cuba carried out in legitimate defense of its airspace.

Neither humanitarian purposes, nor civil organizations, nor international waters: Brothers to the Rescue is a terrorist organization, based in Miami, with ties to drug trafficking, that repeatedly violated national airspace, the specialist argued.

Carballo Farfan remembered that the Revolution was made by young people and today it is up to the new generations to work for a better future, but without surrendering the Homeland, without interference because Cuba belongs to Cubans.

For his part, Adiel Alejandro Rodriguez Rodriguez, also a young man and representative of the Energy and Mines sector, asserted that the most powerful force that inspires and strengthens Cuba today is unity; and in that context, he emphasized the importance of the historical continuity of the new generations.

In her closing remarks at the Anti-Imperialist Tribune, Eidy Diaz Fernandez, president of the National Farmers Asociation in this central province, recalled the patriotic legacy of Raúl Castro, who led the attack on the Moncada Barracks, sailed on the Granma yacht, and founded the Second Eastern Front, among other milestones in the nation’s history.
