“They are the protagonists of everything that has been and yet to be achieved in our relentless march towards a better world”, Fernandez underscored during the celebration of the leader of the Revolution’s 98th birthday.

In the presence of professors, students, friends of solidarity, Cuban residents, and a representative of the Cuban medical brigade at the embassy, the diplomat affirmed that the Commander-in-Chief is alive.

The Cuban ambassador reiterated the constant demand to end the genocide in Palestine perpetrated by the Israeli government in collaboration with US imperialism and other Western allies.

Cuba is experiencing complex times, especially due to the tightening of the criminal blockade imposed by the United States, which has been in place for more than 62 years and could not have overcome the will of the heroic people to develop and be masters of their destiny, he said.

During the event, renowned Guatemalan historian and Doctor of Philosophy Artemis Torres noted that Fidel Castro’s ideas continue to light the path of nations like ours because his thought is present.

Those attending the event appreciated fragments of the Commander-in-Chief’s speeches on Palestine, solidarity, the blockade, and Cuban women.
