Today, the Cuban people are mobilizing throughout the country, with a special emphasis on Havana's iconic Malecón, where a march will be held under the slogan #TumbaElBloqueo and #MarchoXCuba. This demonstration seeks to demand that the U.S. government exclude Cuba from the list of alleged "sponsors of terrorism," an arbitrary designation that has been harmful to the nation.
Roberto Morales Ojeda, Secretary of Organization of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), reiterated on his X account the importance of this mobilization, stressing that today the people will demand justice and an end to the blockade that affects the island.
The President of the Republic and First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, has also called for the march. In the recent plenary session of the party organization, Díaz-Canel expressed his firm stance against the blockade, stating:
"Yes, there is a blockade, yes, the blockade has intensified, yes, there is economic warfare, yes, we are despised, yes, we are vulgarly and obscenely poisoned with hatred on social media."
The president said that this march is a response to the hostile policy that has increased tensions between Cuba and the United States.
"We call from this Plenary on the heroic Cuban people join in a combative march on December 20, at the conclusion of the Session of the National Assembly of People's Power," he added.
The March of the Combatant People will begin at 4:00 p.m. in front of the U.S. Embassy in Havana.
Díaz-Canel emphasized that this mobilization will serve to express the firmest and most forceful condemnation of the criminal blockade imposed by the U.S. government and the continued placement of Cuba on the illegitimate list of countries allegedly sponsoring terrorism, which has caused terrible damage to the entire Cuban people.
With this march, the Cuban people reaffirm their unity and determination in the fight against the adversities imposed by the blockade and the foreign policy of the United States.
