“Otherness” in the Field of Information and Communication for an “Other” World
"Dear friends, comrades,
"Very esteemed Mr. President; Distinguished Representatives of the world community:
I have not come to speak about Cuba. I do not come into the heart of this Assembly to air a denunciation about the aggressions our small but dignified country has suffered for 20 years. Nor do I come with unnecessary adjectives to wound our powerful neighbors here in their own house.
On August 13, 2026, it will be a century since the birth of an indispensable man for the history of his country. Heir to the most genuine of revolutionary thought, promoter of socialist society and undisputedly responsible for a small Island, 90 miles from the United States, to have managed to build a society different from the stigmas established for the so-called Third World nations.
We will celebrate his life and main legacy: example. We will return to Fidel with poems, songs and tributes. We will fill public spaces and media with images and activities. But will it be enough?
This event marks the 60th anniversaries of Granma and Juventud Rebelde, newspapers founded by Fidel Castro Ruz, Commander in Chief of the Cuban Revolution.
"Dear compatriots:
Next October 3 we will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the historic day on which it became known that the United Party of the Socialist Revolution adopted the name Communist Party of Cuba; its first Central Committee was presented, headed by Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz; and Che's emotional Farewell Letter was made public.
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.
But what makes this conceptualization so transcendent?
"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.
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. Born and raised in Miami, the epicenter of Cuban-American counterrevolutionary activity, Rubio's major political characteristics is his proven enmity towards socialist Cuba.
He was born in 1971 by Cuban immigrants who left the island before the triumph of the Revolution. 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.
As a result of the imperialist blockade, of the sanctions imposed by USA, amongst them the inclusion in the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, the Cuban people face today great difficulties, one of them the instability of the electrical grid, that is causing blackouts in a crucial time, as is the hurricane season in the Caribbean that requires the maximum effort of the civilian protection services.
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.
Recently, in a statement addressed to the EU Commission's VP Josep Borrell, the Europarliament Group of the KKE denounces the inclusion of Cuba in the list.
More specifically, as Granma reported, the member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Party, Roberto Morales Ojeda, received on Saturday 13/7 Koutsoumbas and the delegation accompanying him.
