KKE: 65 years since the heroic victory of the Cuban Revolution at the Bay of Pigs

On the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the heroic victory of the Cuban Revolution at the Bay of Pigs, the CC of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) stresses out: 

"In April 1961, the armed people of Cuba, under the leadership of Fidel Castro, crushed the attempted landing of US mercenary forces, inflicting a humiliating defeat on  North American imperialism.

The revolutionaries, led by the communists, delivered a decisive response to imperialist plans, halting the United States’ counter-revolutionary schemes, shattering the myth of the omnipotence of the imperialist superpower, and inspiring hope among the peoples of the world.

The homeland must be defended: Cuban unions call for mass mobilization on May Day 2026

The following statement outlines the political significance of May Day and emphasizes unity, resistance, and national defense: 

Dear Cuban workers,

Why socialist Cuba is more democratic than the U.S

By Nikos Mottas 

The renewed escalation of hostility by the Trump administration towards Cuba—through tightened sanctions, political pressure, and open ideological aggression—once again exposes a fundamental contradiction. 

A country that presents itself as the "global model of democracy" continues to treat a small socialist island as a persistent threat. This is not a coincidence. It points to something deeper: what is being contested is not “democracy” in the abstract, but two fundamentally different ways of organizing power in society.

What If Cuba Had Nuclear Weapons? The Limits of “Peaceful Coexistence”

By Nikos Mottas

Today, more than six decades after the Cuban Revolution, the United States continues to enforce one of the most prolonged and comprehensive systems of economic warfare in modern history. The blockade—tightened, codified, and expanded over decades—seeks not merely to pressure, but to suffocate. 

Sanctions on fuel, financial strangulation, extraterritorial enforcement, and constant efforts to disrupt Cuba’s access to energy and trade are not isolated measures; they form a coherent strategy aimed at exhausting a society that refuses to abandon its chosen path.  

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. 

 

Why is it important for Communist and Workers Parties to meet in Havana this year?

                 By Nahide Özkan* 

 

In the twentieth century, the existence of the Soviet Union and the socialist bloc led to an “extraordinary” deviation in the course of capitalism. The unrestrained aggression of the imperialist system, backed by colonial accumulation, was somewhat restrained by strong working-class governments, both in domestic social policies and in the arena of international relations, and bound by certain rules that gave it a “civilized” face.

 

Massive KKE rally in Greece sends message of solidarity with Cuba: “CUBA IS NOT ALONE!”

Thousands of people gathered on Wednesday afternoon at Syntagma Square in Athens in a massive demonstration of internationalist solidarity with Cuba and its heroic people, organized by the Communist Party of Greece (KKE).

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!

KKE in EU Parliament: In the face of new threats from the US, we demand: hands off Cuba!

In a statement regarding the new provocative threats of the U.S administration against Cuba, the MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) stress out:

"Having become emboldened after its imperialist intervention in Venezuela, the Trump administration is now intensifying its aggression against Cuba, with the ridiculous argument that it is "facing aggressive actions." In this context, the US is considering imposing tariffs and sanctions on countries that supply Cuba with oil and other vital commodities, as well as a "naval blockade" of the Island of Revolution.

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.

Why we should defend Cuba at all costs

By Nikos Mottas

The recent escalation of vicious threats and coercive measures against Cuba by the Trump administration marks a new phase in a policy that is neither accidental nor episodic.

 The tightening of sanctions, the targeting of fuel supplies, the intensification of financial restrictions, and the open rhetoric of intimidation together constitute a deliberate sharpening of economic warfare against the Cuban people.
