At this historic time for the homeland, millions of Cubans across the country are leading another massive and popular national mobilization to celebrate International workers’ Day, under the maxim: Unity, Commitment and Victory, as an organic process is being undertaken from within trade unions in the lead up to the 21st Congress of the Cuban Workers’ Federation which will concluded next year when we commemorate the 80th anniversary of its founding.
We have many reasons and motives to make this May Day another day to show our support for our Revolution, First Party Secretary compañero Raúl, and his continued leadership within the state and government, presided by compañero Díaz Canel. It is also a place to pay tribute to its (the Revolution’s) historic leader Fidel Castro Ruz and reaffirm our unwavering commitment to the concept of Revolution he left us.
Today, we come together to commemorate transcendental occasions, an expression of the historic legacy of struggle that makes us proud to be Cubans and glorifies the history of our homeland, such as the 165th anniversary of the birth of National Hero José Martí, 150 years since the start of the Independence Wars, the 65th anniversary of the attacks on the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Céspedes garrisons, and 60 years since the triumph of the Revolution.
