Once again, enemies are determined to disparage the Cuban Revolution. Especially in recent years, they have done so with vileness and a lack of scruples, focusing on its leaders and the altruistic processes that define its solidarity-based essence. They resort to lies and even insults, unconcerned about whom or what they harm.

It is difficult to trust social media blindly—that space of ambiguity and unhealthy complicities where the biggest falsehoods concerning leftist thought circulate. A message is currently spreading on these platforms about alleged acts of corruption within the Ministry of Culture. It is a devilish and crude ploy to orchestrate a campaign of discredit and defamation, not only against this Central State Administration body but also against its officials and, by extension, against our national project.

The claims made in this space, in their monstrous attack on our culture, are laughable. Every note drips with visceral hatred: they try to present themselves as whistleblowers to generate disrepute for this ministry and forge division; in this endeavor, they use the most popular hashtags and social networks.

The attitude of these haters is sad and abominable because they know what the culture of a country signifies, and that is why they attack it. We Cuban intellectuals, who are familiar with such defamation mechanisms, in these unique times our country is experiencing, largely recognize that we are a sovereign nation backed by solid and clean institutions, where the development of a plot as turbulent and macabre—and seemingly unpunished—as the one described in the text we now object to, is impossible.

The Cuban people can never be divided with messages of hate, which is why we believe it is opportune to state our position against this media campaign with which the enemies attempt to destroy us in the symbolic realm.

It is a privilege for all of us who live in this nation to have a Ministry of Culture like ours, which spares no effort to promote and consolidate knowledge and sensitivity as part of the greatest and most solid social conquests in its history.
