Dr. Yandry Alfonso Chang, director of Medical Assistance and Medicines in the territory, reflects on this case with a mixture of professional pride and citizen concern.

Cuba: Mateo’s Story – A [Socialist] Hymn to Life in the Midst of Adversity! (8.2.2026)

The story of the doctors at the José Luis Miranda Provincial Paediatric Hospital is that of a daily triumph against adverse odds.

In front of Mateo, anaesthesiologists, surgeons, neonatologists and nurses joined in a perfect choreography of knowledge and dedication; What in any other place would have meant an unattainable bill for a humble family, here was a right exercised: complex neonatal surgery, mechanical ventilation, parenteral nutrition and 24-hour surveillance, at no cost.

However, that “no cost” contains a bitter truth: it is the result of a titanic effort by the Cuban State to sustain what is free while navigating against a tide of prohibitions.

Cuba: Terrorism & Money-Laundering Condemned - Cooperation & Security Reaffirmed!

Cuba: Terrorism & Money-Laundering Condemned – Cooperation & Security Confirmed! (3.2.2026)

Cuba categorically declares that it does not harbour, support, finance or permit terrorist or extremist organizations. Our country maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards the financing of terrorism and money laundering, and is committed to preventing, detecting and confronting illicit financial activities, in line with international standards.

Any past interactions involving individuals subsequently designated as terrorists occurred only in limited humanitarian contexts, linked to internationally recognized peace processes, at the request of their respective governments, in a fully transparent manner.

Cuba does not host foreign military or intelligence bases and rejects characterization as a threat to U.S. security. Nor has it supported any hostile activity against that country nor will it allow our territory to be used against another nation.

Venezuela: General Secretary Diosdado Cabello Rondón [PSUV]: No Surrender – Standing Firm Against US Imperial Aggression & the Kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro! (8.1.2026)

. The phrase “Con el Mazo Dando” translates as “Hitting with a Sledge-Hammer” – signifying the devastating (dialectical) use of words as a rhetorical weapon in ideological education and communication. Diosdado Cabello Rondón is the General Secretary of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) – and in the below article states that over 100 people were murdered throughout Venezuela by the US Terrorist Acts – and that President Maduro was injured in the leg whilst Cilia Flores received head wounds (this explains why Cilia has not been seen). It is interesting to learn that Maduro insisted on walking (like the man he is) albeit with a limp – whilst his wife – being seriously hurt, demanded that she be kept with her husband wherever he goes. It is thought that this action saved the life of Maduro as Trump would have preferred that loose-end cleaned-up permanently. The point is that Venezuela is a Socialist country through and through and that no one supports Trump’s illegal actions.

Venezuela is a Socialist State! Maduro and Cilia - Comrades!

Venezuela: World Communist Movements Unite in Solidarity Against Trump Fascism & US Terrorists! (7.1.2026)

In the face of this serious and almost unprecedented situation in our history, we express our strongest repudiation of the bombings carried out, which represent a criminal violation of the sovereignty of peoples. We demand the immediate freedom of Nicolás Maduro and his wife, the fighter Cilia Flores, victims of the persecution and siege of Yankee foreign policy aimed at destabilizing the region by force.

We urgently call on the working classes of our countries and all progressive sectors to mobilize in the streets to repudiate these aggressions and defend continental dignity. We will not allow imperialist plunder and arrogance to determine the fate of our homelands. Out with imperialism from Latin America! Freedom for Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores!

Venezuela: Evidence of US Terrorism & US War Crimes – the Murdered Victims Are Buried with Dignity! (7.1.2026)
