“We know ourselves to be the present and future of a work that continues to open roads to social justice, love and happiness. You are the face of a generation that assumes continuity as its main breath. Your work inspires and engages”.

The Julio Antonio Mella Order was also awarded to eight young people with an exemplary trajectory and with extraordinary merits achieved in study, creative work and in the defense of the interests of the new generations.
During the ceremony, the Abel Santamaría Medal was also awarded to 31 outstanding workers, and the José Antonio Echeverría Medal to nine students with outstanding conditions in study and teaching research, and an exemplary attitude.

Rest assured that the Cuban Revolution will never surrender, stated Party First Secretary and President of the Republic Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, addressing progressive journalists, political activists and expert social media influencers participating in the international colloquium for the 130th anniversary of the newspaper Patria, founded by José Martí.
Díaz-Canel received the communicators at the Palace of the Revolution, for an informal, sincere meeting, to, as he said, “Thank you for your work in defense of the truth and of Cuba.”
Over the past few days, some twenty activists on social media and other multimedia and traditional platforms, from several countries, gathered at the Casa de las Americas, on the occasion of Cuban Press Day, to discuss the challenges of the left in a world where imperial hegemony in the virtual and symbolic field is overwhelming, but must be confronted.
For more than an hour, the President described Cuba’s context and current situation for the guests, to then open an exchange during which expressions of solidarity with the island were accompanied by extensive analysis of the struggle in communications, for our people’s culture and for Cuba.
Today’s convulsive world, which hegemonic powers seek to dominate, is a world we must change, Díaz-Canel stated, both in the real and the virtual world.
