Cuba responds firmly to U.S destabilization attempts: Morón vandalism denounced by revolutionary forces

The recent events in Morón have once again exposed the real dynamics at play in Cuba: a people enduring material hardship under siege, and a handful of disruptive elements attempting to turn those hardships into political destabilization.

In the early hours of March 14, a group of individuals carried out acts of vandalism against the local headquarters of the Communist Party, setting fire to property and attempting to manufacture an image of generalized unrest. 

 

From Bay of Pigs to Speedboats: Trump Still Doesn’t Get It

There are moments when the class character of imperialist aggression reveals itself with brutal clarity. February 25, 2026, was one such moment. Cuban border guards intercepted a Florida-registered speedboat just one nautical mile off Cayo Falcones in Villa Clara province. The vessel carried ten armed Cuban exiles operating from U.S. soil. 

 

When the patrol approached to enforce sovereignty, the infiltrators opened fire. Cuban forces defended themselves, killing four − including at least one U.S. citizen − and wounding six.

World Federation of Trade Unions calls for solidarity week with Cuba

WFTU Solidarity Week with Cuba

There is no doubt that the aggressive and warmongering nature of imperialism is manifested in its most stark and most undisguised way today.

The massacre and genocide of Palestinians in Gaza by the murderous Israeli state with the open support of the US, NATO, and the EU, and their allies, the attacks against Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and the aggressive war against Iran, the invasion of Venezuela by the US army and the kidnapping of President Maduro and Cilia Flores are actions that remind us once again how ruthless imperialism can be in order to promote the economic and geostrategic interests of monopoly capital and the dominant circles of capitalism.

Open Letter by a Cuban Woman to the Peoples of the World

By Ikay Romay

To all humanity, to mothers of the world, to Doctors Without Borders, to journalists with self-respect, to governments that still want justice: I condemn the crime they don’t want to see.

My name is like millions of others – no famous last name, no important position. I am an ordinary Cuban woman – a daughter, a sister, a patriot. I write this with a broken heart and trembling hands. What my people go through today is not a crisis. It is slow, calculated murder, coldly executed from Washington. And the world looks the other way.

Cuba Sends Doctors. The USA Sends Bombs

By Nikos Mottas 

There are moments when history reduces itself to a single, unavoidable contrast. Today is one of them. As renewed threats and economic aggression once again emanate from Washington under Donald Trump, an old truth regains its sharpness: 

Cuba sends doctors. The United States sends bombs.

This is not a slogan invented for effect. It is a reflection of two opposing social systems, two different priorities, two irreconcilable visions of what a society should produce—and for whom.

More than 100 Communist and Workers' Parties say: Stop the escalation of aggression against Cuba!

In a joint statement published in SolidNet, more than 100 Communist and Workers' Parties and Organizations demand an immediate end to the imperialist aggression of the U.S government against Cuba. More specifically, the statement, which is open for further signatures, points out:

Por qué debemos defender a Cuba a toda costa

Por Nikos Mottas 

La reciente escalada de amenazas brutales y medidas coercitivas contra Cuba por parte de la administración Trump marca una nueva fase de una política que no es ni accidental ni episódica.

El endurecimiento de las sanciones, el ataque a los suministros de combustible, la intensificación de las restricciones financieras y la retórica abierta de intimidación constituyen en conjunto una agudización deliberada de la guerra económica contra el pueblo cubano.
