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.

Two Cheeks of the Same Arse!

UK: Trump and Galloway – Two Cheeks of the Same Arse! (22.1.2025)

Of course, this is not the first time Galloway has been failed by the social conservatism he uses to deploy his far-right rhetoric, as he is currently married to a woman who is 30-years his junior (he was 30 when she was born), and always wears a hat in-doors to cover-up his loss of hair (wearing a head-cover in-doors in the UK is the height of bad manners). Both Trump and Galloway are defined by their far-right political viewpoints, their misogynistic attitudes, their casual racism, their homophobia and transphobia, and their continuous appealing toward the Trotskyite (pseudo) left for vindication. They share a far-right political agenda that is premised upon deceiving and manipulating the working-class into orchestrating its own demise. Do not support Galloway or the latest incarnation of his ego – the so-called “Workers’ Party” (his previous “Respect Party” was hijacked by Islamicists – who then attempted to oust him from it). Remember, even his old chum Jeremy Corbyn not only refused to allow Galloway back into the Labour Party – but in recent years has “banned” Galloway from sharing a platform with him at public Pro-Palestinian protests. Two-cheeks of the same arse indeed!
