Organizers stated that the march will begin at the Benito Juarez Monument and Wil end in front of the former United States Embassy in this capital.

They called upon organizations, social movements, labor unions, students, academics, religious groups, artists, and citizens to join this initiative marking the 73rd anniversary of the attacks on the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Cespedes barracks in the eastern part of the Caribbean country.

The organizers denounced the fact that the Cuban people are currently facing “the most complex juncture in their history” and described the intensification of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by Washington as the primary obstacle to the nation’s development.

They noted that “compounding this offensive is the cynical attempt driven by U.S. courts against Army General Raul Castro,” which, in their view, represents an expression of a hostile policy seeking to set precedents for further acts of aggression against the country’s sovereignty.

“This escalation compels us to remain alert to the real risk that the United States might consider direct military intervention as a last resort against a people who, for over 60 years, have defeated every attempt to destroy their revolutionary process,” they maintained.

The organizers deemed it essential show broad, diverse, and unified solidarity with Cuba, bringing together voices willing to defend the country’s right to exist and develop free from external interference or aggression.
