Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel called on the people on Friday to defend the integrity of the nation and the truth of the Revolution on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the closing speech of the Fourth Ordinary Period of Sessions of the National Assembly of People’s Power (Parliament), in its Tenth Legislature, the president said that these platforms are used to confuse the people and distort Cuban reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of the fierce campaign against the Revolution, it is not possible to navigate the networks without stumbling upon an avalanche of obscenities, insults, offenses and lies designed to denigrate those who assume a responsibility within the institutionality, he said. He also commented that they even attack those who decide \u201cto live in the country, without denigrating it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is embarrassing to see Cubans, who were born, grew up and were professionally trained here, \u201chow they distill hatred, rage and contempt against the nation that formed them, as if they felt part of the rebellious and brutal north that despises us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also recalled that in a letter published with the title Vindication of Cuba in the newspaper The Evening Post, in March 1889, the national hero defended his country and his compatriots from a public offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFrom New York and stealing time from his feverish political activity, Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed responded to the insults with his unsurpassed article Vindicaci\u00f3n de Cuba,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur country is in need of another passionate defense of the character, courage and morality of its children on today\u2019s social networks,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He insisted that \u201ca Vindication of Cuba, of the current Cuba that resists and creates under threats and storms\u201d must be articulated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
