Dr. Berto Conde: The memories of Fidel's visit continue to beat in the Hospital of Sancti Spíritus

Cuba: Dr. Berto Conde – Memories of Fidel’s Visit Continue to Beat in the Hospital of Sancti Spíritus! (17.7.2026)

“He arrived in the morning, around 9 in the morning, here at the hospital, perhaps a little later. A tour was made and when we arrived at the front of the hospital, there in front of the Central Highway, there was a signpost with the name of the centre, Camino Cienfuegos provincial hospital, in front of where there is currently a CADECA facility there at the entrance of the hospital. He had covered himself with a white cloth and then symbolically removing that cloth left the hospital inaugurated. It was high and then even though the commander… Fidel Castro was a tall man, because he was not enough and there were the members of the board of directors and with our dear director, Dr. Pedro García Alfonso, whom I remember with so much affection, was his daughter, Coralita, who also died painfully for us. And then Fidel carries Coralita, lifts her up and the girl removes the sheet.

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.

Fidel Castro - Father of the Nation!

Cuba: One Signature – Millions of Voices for the Homeland! (20.4.2026)

Now millions throughout the island will add their hands to the giant stroke, each with their signatures, holding young and expert hearts, bearers of dreams and diverse commitments, but signing with common ink: homeland and flag.

It will be a giant book, written by as many hands as the children of this land want to live in peace, without imperial blockades, hegemonic threats or military aggressions that would only leave eternal voids in the families of both nations.

These signatures will gradually fatten the muscles of a long and thin island that more than once has shown signs of defending its ideas at any price, like the moral giant that it is in the year of the centenary of its historic leader, Commander in Chief Fidel Castro.

Che & Fide; - Revolutionary Giants!

Havana: Fidel Castro Explains “Why” the US Wants to Destroy Cuban Socialism! (31.1.2026)

I acquired this wonderful video from the Bronx Anti-War Telegram Channel (linked below). It is remarkable that people like this still exist in the US – but then again the bourgeois warmongers can repress the working-class all they like – but can never permanently silence – or destroy it. Just as long as the capitalists require our labour to earn their riches for them – we will always exist to blight their existence. We patiently watch and wait. Just lately, I have been reading all of Che Guevara’s excellent books preserved in Cuba and actually allowed to be published on the Audible platform. My influences are Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Ho Chi Mnh – but recently I met a man of Spanish descent and he explained to me about the rich (related) but distinct South American tradition of Socialism. Until then, I viewed this aspect (incorrectly) as merely an amorphous extension of Marxist-Leninism. Reading and studying are the keys to education and breaking-up misconceptions about things.
