Cuba signs in support of peace and its Revolution. From one end of the country to the other, tens of thousands of compatriots demonstrated the sentiment of an entire people who, despite imperialist harassment, will not renounce their right to build their own history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Squares and parks throughout the country experienced a unique day this Sunday, in which men and women of all ages, sectors, and faiths expressed with their signatures that, despite the increasingly frequent threats from the U.S. administration, this nation will not yield nor be intimidated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sixty-five years after the resounding victory against the mercenary aggression at Playa Gir\u00f3n, combatant Reynaldo Fern\u00e1ndez Moreno affirmed that \u201cif then we were a handful of men, today we are millions, ready to take up arms, defend our sovereignty and the Revolution for which hundreds of Cubans offered their lives to achieve this freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And with the same resolve as those days in April 1961, when Cuban troops dealt the first defeat to imperialism in the Americas, he added that \u201cthe words surrender and defeat are abolished from our vocabulary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With that same conviction, and the certainty that Gir\u00f3n is today and always! the people of this insurgent island joined en masse the \u201cMy Signature for the Homeland\u201d movement, in order to demonstrate their commitment to peace, but also their resolve and readiness to defend sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGir\u00f3n is irrefutable proof that when a people fight united, with awareness and with rifles, no empire can subdue them,\u201d said Liliana Pupo Rodr\u00edguez, a young woman from Granma province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Jorge Moreno Castell\u00f3n, from Villa Clara province, warned that Cubans \u201cwant peace to prevail, but make no mistake. Here is a people ready to inflict another defeat on the enemy to the north.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This does not mean that imperial pressures will not have a terrible effect, nor that the intensification of the blockade to insane levels will not be felt in all spheres of life, but to give in to the whims of those who attack us would be to betray our history. That is why the words of Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz are more relevant than ever: \u201cA cowardly people surrenders and returns to slavery, but a dignified and courageous people like ours do not surrender and will never again become slaves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
