Díaz-Canel to Parliament: Cuba changes to get up, to live better, to continue being free

Cuba: Parliament – Díaz-Canel – “Cuba Adapts to Stand-Taller, to Live-Better, to Continue Being-Free”! (20.6.2026)

Due to its high human value, an idea was shared by the Head of State at the closing of the day of analysis: “On a day like today,” he stressed, “in which we remember with particular emotion and nostalgia dear Vilma, a woman who was a clandestine and guerrilla fighter, innovative engineer, founder of spaces and policies for the promotion and defense of women’s rights in Cuba and the rest of the world, at the request of comrade Teresa, secretary of the Federation of Cuban Women, and other women who have called our attention to the need to protect and promote their advances, on behalf of the Party and the Government, I confirm the commitment to pay special attention to ensure that there is never a setback in the policies for the advancement of Cuban women, when implementing the new economic and social measures”.

Cancer Medicine Defeats US Blockade!

Cuba: Anti-Cancer “Cytostatic Production” Reactivated in Defiance of US Blockade! (8.6.2026) 

For her part, Mayda Mauri Pérez underscored the current moment and highlighted the solid alliance between the biopharmaceutical and health sectors as an essential pillar to sustain the supply of cancer drugs to the Cuban population, despite the intensification of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States.

The visit was also attended by medical oncologists, who exchanged criteria with the managers on therapeutic priorities, thus ensuring that the production responds directly to the clinical needs of patients.

The reactivation of this plant is not an isolated event: it is an eloquent example of how the Cuban biotechnology industry and the Public Health System work in total alliance, under the same objective: to guarantee the coverage of essential medicines at the most pressing time. In a country that faces externally induced shortages, each drug produced in this plant represents sovereignty, hope and commitment to the right to health of all Cubans.

Maduro Meets PRC Diplomats!

Venezuela: The Night Maduro was Kidnapped! (1.6.2026)

They then passed all the tests to gain entry into the Special Forces, flew-out to Venezuela to kill innocent Cubans and Venezuelans – whilst illegally kidnapping a Socialist Head-of-State (and his wife). Meanwhile, the hypocritical capitalist world remained “silent” whilst it continued to fund the atrocities committed by Israel and Neo-Nazi Ukraine. What’s next? Documentaries in ten-year’s time featuring US Veterans who took part in the Venezuelan-raid – now suffering from PTSD and complaining about “how wrong it all was”? Why doesn’t the US produce a generation of young people who “see through” all the brain-washing straight-off the bat? Stop this incestuous obsession with far-right capitalism and distorted religion. Allow other countries to exist – permit the world to breath!

WHO Recognises Cuba's Contribution To World Health"

Cuba: WHO Award – Free of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV & Syphilis! (20.5.2026)

Cuba, which in 2015 became the first nation in the world to reach this milestone, continues to demonstrate that universal health coverage, firm political commitment, and robust primary care are fundamental pillars for protecting pregnant women and their children.

With this result, the country remains in the group of some twenty nations and territories that guarantee the elimination of these diseases in newborns, which is the result of decades of dedication by our health professionals, amid the worst economic blockade ever suffered by any nation.

I always wonder how much more we could do for our people and for the world, without the noose of the #GenocidalBlockade around our necks.

Fifth National Exercise for the Prevention and Confrontation of Crime, Corruption, Drugs, Illegalities and Social Indiscipline

Cuba: Actions Intensify to Prevent & Confront US-Inspired Crime! (19.5.2026)

There is a US-financed (it is all about money – and has always been about money for the Yankee Imperialists) Fifth Column operating within the Cuban Mainland. These individual men and women have secret ties to the US government which rewards their families living in the US and guarantees an affluent retirement when their destructive work is over. The propaganda against Socialist Cuba is seen everywhere in the West – even fictitious crime-dramas like “Dexter” – which whilst conveying the psychopathic tendencies of a forensic expert working for the police, still manages to present “Cuba” (and “Cubans”) as being hopelessly impoverished and just waiting for an opportunity of literally “throwing” their immaciated bodies into the sea and somehow “floating” to US shores (where Dexter is waiting to kill the survivors and stockpile their remains in a convenient warehouse). This is not an exaggerated racist trope – and we had to stop watching (consuming) this show as a protest. Cuban sportspeople – often dominant Boxers – are portrayed as drug-riddled lunatics who win not because Socialism generates a superior person – but because their system is deficient and insane. Alice is definitely “Through tthe Looking Glass”.

Havana, May 13 (ACN) Under the slogan: "Love is Law," the 19th edition of the Cuban Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia was presented today in this capital.

Cuba: XIX Day Against Homophobia & Transphobia! (14.5.2026)

As for homosexuality – the USSR seems to have had a mixed attitude toward it. Lenin abolished the old Czarist law and the blatant homophobic element demanded by the Orthodox Church – but then a few years later a law preventing men sexually abusing boys was passed (the first anti-paedophile law in the world) which appeared to suggest that homosexuality (of any type) was unnatural (although only involving males). Extract from that what you will. I think that sexual attitudes and concepts of gender identity vary considerably from one non-White country to another – so we must be careful not to project a rigid Eurocentrism onto the subject. China is an interesting case in point – where many indigenous attitudes might be surprising to the average Westerner. On the other hand, if I see gays or trans committing outrageous crimes – I think this needs to be highlighted. This is true regardless as to “why” they might be committing said crimes (as some of these crimes are so horrific there can be no justification). Cuba is a mixture of White and non-White (indigenous) cultures and this will iinfluence how they perceive the gay issue.
