Support for Cuba at Tribute Event to Fidel Castro in Mexico

Speaking at the event, held at the PT's state headquarters in that city, Adalid Martínez, a member of the political formation's national leadership, expressed the importance of redoubling solidarity with the Caribbean nation.

In that regard, he called for generating concrete actions that contribute to confirming the historic support between both peoples and highlighted the resistance of the largest of the Antilles in the face of aggressions from the U.S. government, which imposes an economic, commercial, financial, and energy blockade.

For his part, federal deputy José Luis Sánchez praised the importance of Fidel Castro's revolutionary work in the history of the island and of humanity, and how his legacy continues to inspire the struggle of Cubans and other peoples of the world.

"Cuba raised to unimaginable levels the word independence, the word sovereignty, and the word dignity, which are the values that guide the resistance of that heroic and invincible people that is the Cuban people," the legislator stated.

Speaking at the meeting, Havana's ambassador in that capital, Eugenio Martínez, highlighted the historic leader of the Revolution's commitment to fulfilling the will of the people, his legacy that there are no impossibles, and his victorious optimism as a compass for Cubans.

He referred to the history of Washington's interventionist and domination policy toward his country and denounced as genocide the current escalation of aggressions by the U.S. government, including an energy siege that, along with other measures, constitutes an undeserved collective punishment.

He stressed that in his nation they overcome uncertainty with resistance and not with submission, reaffirming Cubans' willingness to defend their sovereignty to the last consequences.

Martínez highlighted Mexico's dignity and sovereignty in the history of Latin America and the Caribbean, and thanked the PT and its leader, Alberto Anaya, as well as the Mexican government and people, for their solidarity with the Cuban people.

The Mexicans present unanimously ratified the unwavering commitment not to give up in solidarity with the largest of the Antilles.

In response to questions from the audience, Ambassador Johana Tablada explained how the strategy against Cuba is articulated and decided in U.S. political and power circles, and highlighted support and solidarity with the island in other nations and international organizations.
