Thousands of Cubans are already gathering at the Anti-Imperialist Tribune to reject the Trump administration's attempt to bring leader Raúl Castro into U.S. courts, to repudiate the American economic blockade, and to reaffirm their support for the Cuban Revolution.

They are responding to the call made by the Union of Young Communists together with mass organizations, student groups, and youth movements, with the additional purpose of strengthening national unity and backing the government's recent declaration.

“In the Days Commemorating the 95th birthday of our Army General, the Cuban people reaffirm that neither threats, nor blockade, nor energy siege, nor false accusations will be capable of breaking the will of an entire people in defense of their Revolution,” proclaims the text disseminated throughout the island.

The exhortation has been supported by party and government authorities, particularly by the President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel, who denounced the aggression against the Cuban leader and called for a large gathering at the Anti-Imperialist Tribune.

In a message on X, Díaz-Canel reaffirmed Thursday the country's commitment to the defense of its heroes and national history, in response to what he described as a new aggression by the nation's historic enemies.

“The heroes of the homeland are not disrespected; history and traditions are not offended without a response. Not in Cuba,” emphasized the president, according to the statement disseminated by the country's media and digital platforms.

He further noted that despite the daily hardships and shortages caused above all by the U.S. blockade, the Cuban people have managed to overcome and remain united against the pretensions of trying the leader of the Revolution in U.S. courts.

“The new aggression has united us more and has raised the honor, dignity, and anti-imperialist sentiment of a people already recognized worldwide for their fierce resistance to any type of subordination to the empire,” he underscored.

The head of state concluded his message with the call to popular mobilization: “The Army General is Cuba, and Cuba is to be respected. See you at the Anti-Imperialist Tribune,” inviting citizens to participate in the day of protest and revolutionary reaffirmation.

This pronouncement maintains the historic practice of the Cuban government of rejecting any attempt to bring its leaders to trial outside the country and of denouncing the impact of the U.S. economic blockade against Cuba.
