The harsh and combined scourge of SARS-CoV-2 and that other lethal virus that is the economic, commercial and financial blockade of the United States government will not prevent Cuba from celebrating the International Youth Day today.
They will not be able to block our joy, nor silence our voices in defense of truth and reason, nor take away our dreams, nor diminish our desire to do things, putting our hearts to our beloved Homeland, Lisara Corona Oliveros, second secretary of the National Committee of the Young Communists League (UJC), told the Cuban News Agency.
If for millions on the planet every August 12 becomes a platform and a trench in claiming rights that are denied, the Cuban youth have, in the midst of this global nightmare that has put so many projects on hold and despite the daily vicissitudes, the problems, shortcomings and obstacles, a world of achievements and achievements to defend and countless reasons to celebrate, it meant.
We will honor all the justice achieved and shared by the Revolution, this immense work that we have the sacred duty to preserve, continue and perfect, and which we will defend at all costs, and we will ratify our commitment to the history, the present and the future of Cuba and of that great homeland and of all that Humanity is, she added.
The invitation regarding the date – instituted in 1999 by the UN General Assembly – was referred to as a day of joy, reflection, recognition, reaffirmation and combat, multiplied by the imminent arrival of August 13.
As united as in the almanac they will be both days in a celebration, which we dedicate from the heart, with infinite love and gratitude to our Fidel, eternal young rebel, Commander in Chief of all the battles of this heroic people, on the 95th anniversary of his birth. , he expressed.
From what was planned for this Thursday and Friday, the Second Secretary of the UJC mentioned mobilizations and productive initiatives, blood donations, online concerts and the recognition of young people and groups with outstanding performance in tasks that are priorities for the country.
The extensive program also includes book presentations, colloquia and panels, all in a virtual way, as well as the awarding and opening of the exhibition with the winning works of the annual Youth in the Lens photography contest, organized by the Center for Studies on Youth and whose ninth edition had in “Youth in Revolution” the great theme for artistic creation.
To this are added presentations of the 50th Anniversary guerrillas and other sociocultural projects and community work initiatives of the José Martí Art Instructors Brigade, and the ascent to the top of Pico Real del Turquino, which will be starred this Friday by young people from Granma members of the Hermanos Saíz Association.
