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.
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.
"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.
Following a large demonstration on Saturday (23/5) afternoon, hundreds of demonstrators marched toward the U.S. embassy chanting: “Hands off Cuba!”, “Cuba is not alone!” and the historic anti-imperialist slogan “Neither land nor water to the murderers of the peoples!”.
CPUSA: Hands off Castro! No war on Cuba!
"The Communist Party USA condemns the politically motivated charges brought against Raúl Castro as yet another example of the tyranny and hypocrisy by the United States.
“We condemn the provocative issuance by the United States of an arrest warrant against the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Raúl Castro —a move through which US imperialism once again bares its teeth against the heroic Cuban people, whom it has long sought to strangle economically through the criminal blockade imposed upon the country.
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.
The rally sent a strong political message against the decades-long U.S. blockade and imperialist threats, with demonstrators chanting and proclaiming that “Cuba is not alone.”
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.
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.
«Stop the escalation of aggression against Cuba!»
"We firmly condemn US imperialism’s new escalation of aggression against the sovereignty and independence of Cuba and against the rights of the Cuban people.
Cuba Is Not Alone! PAME internationalist delegation to the Island of the Revolution
Read below statements by various Communist and Workers' Parties:
"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.
