Speech delivered by Miguel Mario Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, at the closing of the International Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba, at the Convention Center, on May 2, 2026, "Year of the Centennial of Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz."

Cuba: May Day Speech Delivered at the Closing of the International Meeting of Solidarity! (3.5.2026)

When it is said that we are an extraordinary and unusual threat to the United States – and we are sure that this is not the feeling of the American people, that is the pretext used by the American government to attack us – one wonders: What is the threat, what is extraordinary about that threat, what is unusual about that threat, when Cuba is a country of peace, when Cuba is a country that has served as the setting for the main peace dialogues in the Latin American and Caribbean region, when Cuba was the place where the Catholic Church and the Russian Orthodox Church came to meet to resolve the schism they had maintained for more than fifteen hundred years?

I try to answer that question every day, but, as Bruno explains, there is no pretext, there is no reason to justify military aggression against Cuba. Well, that “extraordinary and unusual threat” may be the example of resistance and creativity of the Cuban people.

When we talk about solidarity, I think we are talking about three elements that distinguish the value of international solidarity:

One is the tenderness of the peoples, because among all of us we have learned to share something that Fidel taught us, and that is that we do not give out of solidarity what we have left over, but we give what we have to share it among all.

The Constitutional Court has refused Afriforum's bid for leave to appeal the "Kill the boer" judgment which found that the chant did not constitute Hate Speech.

Did Hitler “Kill the Boer?” – Evidence Suggests He Did! (28.3.2025)

Being out of date is not the same as being “illegal”. Whilst the English were being killed by the Nazi Germans – they comprised songs of defiance as their bodies were being blown apart. Black South Africans, whilst living within the Apartheid-era, were oppressed, beaten, raped, and killed over an extended period of time by Boer nationalists who held all the political power at the time. Whilst Boer bullets and bombs tore apart Black bodies – the indigenous African population composed songs of defiance as a means to “resist” the racially motivated attacks of their Boer enemies. The government of the Netherlands, by way of observation, has never condemned the behaviour of its Dutch citizens who travelled to Africa and invaded it. 

Support South Africa Against Israeli Genocide!

US is Attacking South Africa Due to its Exposure of – and Resistance to – Israeli “Genocide” in Gaza! (26.3.2025)

These are material facts. Of course, Zionist Israel is a “racialised” project of “White Supremacy” – as confirmed by the 1975 UN ruling. More than half of historical Palestine has been usurped by White (Zionist) invaders from Europe (and elsewhere) – and the US is facilitating the Israeli invasion of the remaining area still occupied by the indigenous (Palestinian) population. Of course, the vassal States of the UK and EU also meekly empower this Zionist invasion and destruction of indigenous life in Palestine. Of course, as the political left is dead in the water, no group (or collection of groups) has come forward in opposition of the US and in support of South Africa. This can only be construed as the latent anti-Black racism on the left coming into play. It is the Trotskyites who pursue this double-edged sword – preventing appropriate action on the one-hand, whilst encouraging inappropriate responses on the other. The left has been fatally holed beneath the waterline and is taking in water.

South Africa - Black Racism

South Africa: Operation Dudula – and the Problem of Tribal Politics Outside the Tribe! (25.3.2025)

In my experience, this is a typical tactic of Trotskyite entryism – which infiltrates working-class groups and politically shifts them toward the right. Furthermore, why are the signs in English and not Zulu? Who is the intended audience? This Black racism feeds into Trump’s assertion that White people in South Africa are victims of Black people. I remember protests in Burma with signs written in English being held upside down – as those holding them cannot read, write or speak English (the West was mass importing fascistic Rohingya Muslims from Bangladesh – in an attempt to water-down the Buddhist support for Socialism within Myanmar – the lie being that local resistance was “genocide”, etc). In this situation, the English is obviously very good – so perhaps Trump is behind it! This Black woman sounds like a White Afrikaner from the 1970s!

George Galloway - A Bit of a Ranker!

UK: George Galloway – A Bit of a Ranker! (4.3.2025)

There are many examples of White racists and extremists who have been arrested for expressing similar viewpoints in person, within literature, or online. Many of these Neo-Nazis, fascists and supporters of the far-right end-up in prison and on the anti-terrorist and sexual offenses list – so why is Mrs Galloway exempt from this punishment? Of course, whilst George Galloway whines on about “sexual purity” and “religious morality” – he is “30” years older than his current partner. Those who have accused Galloway of being a hypocrite – who practices sexual deviancy – point-out that he was 30-years old when his wife was born! Of course, adults are free to do as they please (within the law) – but perhaps Galloway’s sexual preferences should be examined using the same stringent and intolerant standards he uses when he attacks the gay and trans community.

The Great Gypsy King!

Saluting the Gypsy King & Exposing the Far-Right Commentary Aimed at Tyson Fury! (19.5.2024)

The irony? Well, Uysk’s ancestors – as Nazi collaborators – assisted the Germans in their rounding up and mass murdering of the Romany (“Gypsies”) tribes that had flourished in the USSR under Soviet Socialism (the Red Army had Regiments of Gypsies). Tyson Fury – and his family – are “Gypsies” – and there has been no end of anti-Romany aggression from the Uysk Camp which the British media refused to report as such. Just as it refused to recognise Tyson Fury as “British” last night – or Uysk as a Nazi. Regardless of the evil that currently stalks this land – Tyson Fury won the fight.
