The 4th Continental Assembly of ALBA Movements opened with 150 delegates from 25 countries, attended by the President of the Republic, Miguel Diaz-Canel, and members of the Cuban state and government leadership. Under the slogan “One hundred years walking with Fidel,” discussions focused on global crises and regional sovereignty.

  Gerardo Hernandez, National Coordinator of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution, who delivered the opening remarks, highlighted the movement’s role in the struggle against the hegemonic policies of major imperialist powers.

  In exclusive statements to Prensa Latina, Maria Fernanda Pereira, a representative of the Argentine movement “Corriente de Nuestra Patria” (Current of Our Homeland), emphasized Cuba’s importance of international leftist movements.

  “We believe in the Cuban Revolution. Cuba is a true reflection of what we dream of and what we fight for,” she declared.

  Later in the day, a panel titled “Key features, challenges, and alternatives regarding the imperialist offensive against the Global South” was held to analyze current major challenges.

  The Continental Articulation of Social and Popular Movements serves as a platform uniting more than 400 organizations across 25 countries around a project of unity and integration for the Americas and beyond.
