Cuban President Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel has reaffirmed his country\u2019s determination to advance despite threats against it, inspired by National Hero Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed and the historical leader of the Revolution, Fidel Castro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the occasion of the 173rd anniversary of the birth of the Apostle Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed, and after leading the parade last night, in the centennial year of Fidel Castro\u2019s birth, the Cuban president stated that \u201cthe torches of the Centennial of #Mart\u00ed and those of the Centennial of #Fidel give warmth and light to the battle to achieve full justice.\u201d D\u00edaz-Canel firmly declared that \u201cthey will not stop us,\u201d thus responding to the decision to move forward despite the difficult times and \u201cthe brutality of the threats against #Cuba,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the post, the head of state affirmed that \u201cthis challenge and our youth give us great strength.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The day before, the president of the Caribbean nation, along with the highest authorities of the Communist Party and the government of the island, accompanied thousands of Cubans, mostly young people, on the nighttime march that began at the steps of the University of Havana and ended at the Fragua Martiana (Mart\u00ed Forge).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tradition originated at midnight on January 27, 1953, when the Centennial Generation, led by the young Fidel Castro, commemorated the centennial of the Apostle\u2019s birth in an event that preceded the attack on the Moncada Barracks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
