Will the Cuban Revolution Die? 

This question was posed in an article published in late June and subsequently republished by several Greek mainstream media outlets. The author frames the issue as follows: "With the threat of a U.S. invasion hanging over Cuba, are these the final days of socialism on the island, or can Havana's recent reforms still save something from the wreckage?".

Have you no shame? The European Parliament passes despicable anti-Cuba resolution

The European Parliament has once again placed itself openly on the side of U.S. imperialist pressure against socialist Cuba, approving a hostile resolution that demands “profound economic and political change” (!!) on the island, calls for new EU sanctions and threatens the suspension of the EU-Cuba Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement.

The resolution was approved by a narrow majority, with 283 votes in favour, 199 against and 85 abstentions, following an intense campaign of anti-Cuban propaganda and pressure inside the European Parliament (Check HERE what every MEP voted)

KKE marks Fidel Castro's centenary with mass rally in support of Cuba

A massive political rally organized by the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) in the western Athens district of Peristeri sent a clear internationalist message on Monday evening: "Hands off Cuba! Cuba is not alone."

The event, organized by the KKE's Attica Party Organization under the slogan "100 Years Since the Birth of Fidel Castro – We Strengthen Solidarity with Cuba for a World Without Wars and Exploitation, for Socialism", gathered large numbers of workers, youth and supporters who filled the square in front of Peristeri City Hall.

Cuba is not a threat; it is a victim of U.S. terrorism

Yolanda and Fermín Rodríguez Díaz were 11 and 13 years old, respectively, when they were murdered on January 24, 1963, at the La Candelaria farm in Bolondrón by the gang of Juan José Catalá Coste, which operated in the southern part of Matanzas. 

 

Similarly, on March 13, 1962, in San Nicolás de Bari, then in Havana, the young Andrés Rojas Acosta was hanged with the same rope he was using to tie up his pig, a crime committed by the gang of the mercenary Waldemar Hernández.

 

European Communist Action: No to an imperialist attack! Solidarity with the people of Cuba!

Statement of the European Communist Action: No to an imperialist attack! Solidarity with the people of Cuba!

The Parties of the European Communist Action (ECA) condemn in the strongest possible terms the escalating aggression of US imperialism, including the deployment of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz in the Caribbean Sea, the baseless accusations levelled against Raúl Castro, and the provocative threats of military attack directed against Cuba, the rights of its people, and the achievements of the Cuban Socialist Revolution.

Communist Workers' Platform USA: Unyieldingly on the side of Cuba and comrade Raúl Castro!

Statement by  Communist Workers' Platform of the USA on the Indictment of Raúl Castro and Imperialist Threats Against Cuba

"The Communist Workers' Platform of the USA denounces the profane indictment of General Raúl Castro by the Trump administration as a further escalation of its aggressive campaign to strangle the Cuban Revolution. Guided by its dangerous plans for control in the Western Hemisphere outlined in the National Security Strategy, US imperialism is utilizing this indictment to lay the groundwork for a military attack against Cuba and its people. 

“Hands Off Cuba!”: Thousands join militant KKE rally at the U.S. Embassy in Athens

A large and militant march of solidarity with the heroic Cuban people swept through the streets of Athens as the Organizations of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) and the Communist Youth of Greece (KNE) led a powerful demonstration against U.S. imperialist aggression and the criminal blockade imposed on Cuba.

Communist Party of Greece (KKE): Solidarity with the courageous people of Cuba against criminal imperialist plans and any attempt at military intervention

In a statement concerning the aggressive actions of the United States against Cuba, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) emphasizes the following:

KKE MEP: Any attempt at US military intervention in Cuba must be condemned and prevented

During the hypocritical debate on human rights in Cuba held at the European Parliament’s plenary session in Strasbourg, the Communist Party of Greece (KKE’s) MEPs intervened through a statement delivered by the Party's Eurodeputy Lefteris Nikolaou-Alavanos.

The debate, which began with High Representative Kaja Kallas remaining silent on the US embargo, soon descended into an outpouring of anti-communism, attacks, and threats directed against Cuba. These, however, were firmly answered by  both the KKE MEP and other MEPs.

Raúl Castro is a hero: The real criminals are the U.S. Imperialists

By Nikos Mottas

Raúl Castro is certainly not a criminal, regardless of how desperately the Trump administration attempts to portray him as one. He is a revolutionary who dedicated his life to the struggle against dictatorship, foreign domination and capitalist exploitation in Cuba. The renewed threats surrounding a possible U.S. arrest warrant against him are nothing more than another act of imperial arrogance by a state that has spent more than sixty years trying to suffocate the Cuban Revolution through blockade, sabotage, economic warfare and permanent political aggression.

The joint session of the European Parliament’s Committees on Foreign Affairs (AFET) and Human Rights (DROI), convened under the pretext of discussing “the human rights situation in Cuba,” was intended to become yet another parade of opponents and subversive elements hostile to the Cuban people, including the notorious provocateur José Daniel Ferrer, thus providing further justification for imperialist aggression against Cuba.

 

When socialist Cuba embraced Chernobyl's children

Thirty years after the Chernobyl disaster, the scale of the catastrophe remains difficult to grasp. Entire regions were contaminated, thousands of lives were disrupted, and the effects of radiation followed people for decades. For many families, the disaster did not end in 1986—it continued in illness, uncertainty and long-term health complications.

In the years that followed, the international response was uneven. Assistance existed, but often moved slowly, tied to political decisions or limited resources. Cuba chose a different course, as Granma recently reminded us.

How the European Parliament promotes anti-Cuban propaganda by applying double standards

A revealing case of “double standards” by the European Parliament has come to light regarding its stance toward socialist Cuba.

On 13 January 2026, the parliamentary group of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) scheduled an exhibition dedicated to the internationalist contribution of Cuban doctors, focusing on the Henry Reeve medical brigades and their role in supporting peoples affected by pandemics and natural disasters. The exhibition was rejected by the Parliament’s authorities.
