CAMAGÜEY.- It is not a secret, in Cuba we live from Moncada to Moncada. Yes, in 1953 the weapons paved the way, announced what was to come: the youth, the Centennial, the Marti, fanned the fire that Céspedes started in 1868 and once again absolute independence was the flag. Almost 70 years later, this people, who live beyond bytes and fake news, know that the right to sovereignty is not won in a day but is lost in a second, they know the price they have paid for peace that he enjoys and is still determined to continue conquering it.
It is not a secret, in Cuba we live from Moncada to Moncada. Yes, in 1953 the weapons paved the way, announced what was to come: the youth, the Centennial, the Marti, fanned the fire that Céspedes started in 1868 and once again absolute independence was the flag. In Santiago, the walls can tell the story, the heartbreaking that occurred inside and the light that a projectile and human shield opened from post 3 not to go out any more.
After 1959 there have been skirmishes. As assaults on military fortresses we won Girón, the October of missiles, Punta del Este, swine fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever, the “change” programs signed with dissimilar surnames and the same intention to bend ... all the plans to destabilize a country that for the first time in four centuries was being built collectively.
Since the most definitive First of January we have learned to survive between the blockade and the crises of a deformed economy inherited amid looting that comes to the fore with the magic of resistance and years of sleeplessness, the misunderstandings of a unipolar world in the face of a never more capitalist people ...
Each Moncada has been explained by the elderly and sustained by the young. Creativity, dedication and sacrifice become keys to a country that exposes before all the realization of the most beautiful human work in the world: sovereignty.
It has never been easy, said the one who endures as a compass that marks our safe harbor, Fidel, for whom we know that even in differences, dialogue is the source of consensus that has brought us here. Thus we build an example country. One who grows up in the chess game of bringing food and sowing it, of doing first-world science and sharing knowledge and dedication in any geography, of raising studies, of dignifying the home ...
For that nation that is a beacon, we confirm our willingness to give even our lives if necessary in the face of the same old enemy, and our decision to look at ourselves and improve what should be changed so that the adversary is never another Cuban. We did it right in the Square that changed its name after Fidel gave us light, a few days after the triumph, that for freedom we would have to fight every day since then.
The right to sovereignty is not won in a day but is lost in a second. This people, the one that lives beyond bytes and fake news, knows the price it has paid for the peace it enjoys and remains determined to continue conquering it from Moncada to Moncada.
