"Day of celebration and reflection, this March 14. For the 130 years of Patria and for the challenges of the Cuban press in Cuba's current time. We are honored to accompany revolutionary journalism," he wrote.

Earlier, the island's foreign minister, Bruno Rodríguez, described the country's press as a brave, committed, and faithful defender of the truth in the face of lies and manipulations.
