Reborn

Cubadebate — Wed, 14 Aug 2019 19:35:10 +0000

“Cuba dawns in tribute. Ninety-three years since the birth of the inheritor of Martí’s legacy, the undefeated leader who survived more than 600 attempts on his life, and faced, without concessions, 11 U.S. administrations. Fidel lives because his ideas live,” tweeted the President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, yesterday, August 13.

In a later message, he reported that 1,810,638 persons from Cuba and around the world had made their way to the boulder in Santa Ifigenia Cemetery where Fidel’s ashes rest.

Among the many tributes to Fidel held around the country was the opening of an exposition at the José Martí Memorial in Havana by artist Ernesto Rancaño, with First Vice President Salvador Valdés Mesa on hand, while National Assembly President Esteban Lazo Hernández visited the Siboney farm, in Santiago de Cuba, where the Moncada combatants gathered before the assault.

Members of the Union of Young Communists camped out at the historic Castro-Ruz home in Birán, to celebrate Fidel’s life and renew their commitment to his ideas.

Birán, where the homeland’s youth is always present

Cubadebate — Thu, 04 Apr 2019 23:49:03 +0000

In Birán, we feel the same sun, the same breeze, felt anywhere else on the island, but there is something different here.

Perhaps it is the greatness to which this spot is linked, that inspires a solemnity which moves and cheers us, giving us the confidence to continue and create.

Sensed here, as well, are the dreams of youth, of big projects, that will become realities, not utopias if they are given wings, effort and pride. Because Fidel is present in this patch of land – his certain, clear, enduring presence.

It is only right that today, April 4, 2,000 young people have chosen to awake in the vicinity of the Birán Historical Monument, birthplace of Comandante en Jefe Fidel Castro, to announce the convocation of the Young Communists League’s 11th Congress, to be held in 2020

“It will be a high point of deep significance and with the beloved presence of Fidel, a day full of patriotism and joy, because we know that the future we are building today belongs to us,” insisted Susely Morfa González Party Central Committee member and first secretary of Young Communists League, speaking with Granma.
