The KKE condemns the latest escalation of aggression and blockade against Cuba by the US

Statement by the International Relations Section of the CC of the KKE

With a new despicable memorandum signed by US President Donald Trump, the US administration has further intensified its measures of barbaric imperialist blockade and efforts to undermine Cuba. This is a continuation of the same policy pursued by the first Trump administration and maintained in its entirety by the Biden administration. Their declared aim is to cause economic suffocation to the Cuban people and to support the actions of counterrevolutionary groups in overthrowing the achievements of the Cuban people and the Revolution itself.

Fidel Castro and the concept of Revolution, a look 25 years later

Today marks the first quarter of a century of the concept of Revolution outlined by Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz. Perhaps no other of his definitions took such a historical dimension as the one pronounced in the Revolution Square, on May 1st, 2000; in the words of Army General Raul Castro Ruz: "the quintessence of the political-ideological work".

But what makes this conceptualization so transcendent?

"The second Trump administration in the USA, in a shameful action on its very first day in office, has reinstated Cuba on the list of “state sponsors of terrorism”. Equally responsible is the Biden administration which, after keeping Cuba on the list for four years, after maintaining and reinforcing all the measures of the barbaric imperialist blockade, decided hypocritically at the tail end of its term to remove Cuba from the list.

An Appeal from the Communist Party of Cuba

In a statement, the Communist Party of Cuba stresses out:

"To the political parties, social and popular movements, progressive and leftist forces and the world movement of solidarity with Cuba,

To friends of Cuba in the world in general, 

Since the previous administration of President Donald Trump, the economic, commercial and financial blockade measures imposed by the United States government against Cuba since 1962 have been intensified without precedent. With the application of more than 240 measures, from Chapter III of the Helms Burton Act and its growing extraterritoriality, to which was added the fierce campaign of disinformation and promotion of internal destabilization, they intend to reverse our revolutionary process.

Marco Rubio el gusano, a sworn enemy of Cuban and Venezuelan people

By Nikos Mottas

According to the latest reports, the Republican Senator from Florida, Marco Rubio, will be the next U.S Secretary of State in Trump's administration.

While studying law, Rubio worked for the notorious Cuban-born Republican Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. Among others, Ros-Lehtinen has played a significant role in promoting and strengthening the U.S genocidal blockade against Cuba, while she lobbied for the release and pardon of counterrevolutionary terrorist Orlando Bosch who had been convicted of terrorist acts and has also been accused of involvement in the 1976 bombing of Cubana Flight 455 which killed 73 people.

By Nikos Mottas

The hero of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games isn't Tom Cruise, Armand Duplantis or Novak Djokovic. The hero is Cuban and his name is Mijaín Lopez.  

The son of Leonor and Bartolo, went beyond all possible limits. If any human work comes close to perfection, it is the one he has just closed here, with his fifth consecutive gold medal in Greco-Roman wrestling. Wrestling has remained, with Mijaín, in the golden paradise of the five rings since 1992, when Héctor Milián won the gold medal in Barcelona. Since then, he has never failed to reach the top of the podium in any edition.

Operation Streaming: U.S new intelligence operation to distort the Cuban history

To modify historical facts on a whim, adapting them to a story that is harmful to the sovereignty of the peoples, is once again the bet of the U.S. government against the Cuban nation. That is what the denunciation that this newspaper amplified a few weeks ago is about, regarding an operation of the U.S. special services conceived -when not- to "change the regime" in Cuba.

Called Operation Streaming, which is not a very new term, it has among other purposes to rewrite the history of Cuba, to provide a sweetened description of pre-1959 capitalism and, of course, to present a whitewashed version of the neo-colony and the role of the U.S. in this history.
