Today, October 10, is a historic day for Cuba, a day that recalls the revolutionary virtue of the ancestor line of Cubans, those set to die for their freedom.

Today, after 151 years of the deed initiated by Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, at his La Demajagua mill, the people keeps the precepts of the 68th contest in force.

Cuba dresses up this October 10; today we are electing a new legislature of the National Assembly of Popular Power, an organization formed as a continuity of those who risked their lives in defense of the Homeland.

Today in the midst of difficulties, the ancestors, those who set the foundation of the new Cuba, are honored. The present’s revolutionaries are willing to sacrifice everything to maintain the conviction that there is no force capable of extinguishing the ideas of socialism.

Cuba is faithful to its principles since the beginning of the Revolution and nothing and no one will give up. The resurgence of the blockade imposed by the United States far from sinking our country, has strengthened us as a nation and consolidates its commitment to the Cuban revolutionary process.

As Commander in Chief Fidel Castro would say: “I know that when a people is united like this, and has faith, and has men who will not betray it, it is an invincible people; and that nothing and no one can defeat the Revolution”.

We continue that struggle began by the Father of the Homeland, that glorious October 10, 1868. Today without machetes or crossbows, there are only slogans, ideals and the blatant energy of a people that does not fade before the slightest attempt of provocation.
