Cuban Prime Minister Manuel Marrero on Monday evoked the solidarity philosophy of Fidel Castro during a period of broad international backing for the island, following an escalation in hostilities from the United States.

The head of government of the Caribbean nation took to his X account to honor the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution under the hashtag #100AñosConFidel, sharing the following words: "The world has been in solidarity with Cuba, and that is why Cuba feels more and more solidarity with all the peoples of the world (…) and Cuba knows that with that solidarity it will continue to fight and continue to resist."

The island is currently experiencing a period of heightened activity as a result of the global initiative known as Nuestra América Convoy to Cuba, a solidarity campaign launched in response to the tightening of the United States' economic stranglehold on the country.

The initiative has drawn significant media attention, with more than 650 activists arriving on the island representing approximately 300 parliaments, political parties, organizations, groups and millions of individuals — including Cubans living abroad — who brought aid to help address the consequences of the U.S. blockade on the country's healthcare system and the daily lives of its population.

During one of the meetings with the solidarity activists, President Miguel Díaz-Canel addressed those present with the following declaration: "Alongside the solidarity of the world, Cuba will continue to stand by Homeland or Death! We Shall Overcome!"
