The Ministries of the Revolutionary Armed Forces (Minfar) and the Interior (Minint) congratulated today Army General Raúl Castro Ruz on the occasion of his 95th birthday, through messages posted on their official Facebook profiles.

Minint stated: “95 YEARS OF FIRMNESS, LOYALTY, AND REVOLUTION! This June 3, our people proudly celebrate the 95th birthday of Army General Raúl Castro Ruz, leader of the Cuban Revolution.”

It added that “Raúl is the living example of loyalty to Fidel, of unwavering discipline, and of absolute confidence in victory, even in the most difficult moments. As he taught us: Yes, we did. Yes, we can. And we always will!”

In the same message, the ministry rejected the United States government’s accusations against the Cuban leader, calling them an attempt to tarnish his legacy.

“We respond with more unity and firmness. We vigorously reject their lies and close ranks behind Raúl’s leadership,” the post stated.

Meanwhile, Minfar highlighted from the Anti-Imperialist Tribune that “young people congratulate Army General Raúl Castro Ruz on his 95th birthday,” reaffirming the new generations’ commitment to defending independence and the achievements of the Revolution.

In various military units across the army, political-cultural evenings were held in tribute to the 95th anniversary, including the Grand Tank Unit of the Combative Glory Rescate de Sanguily, whose fighters joined together to salute the Army General.

The young tank crews and other members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces reaffirmed their commitment to safeguarding the sovereignty achieved by the combatants of the Sierra Maestra, in continuity with the historical legacy of the Revolution.
