Havana, Cuba: Young people from Cuba started star today a caravan for peace, love and solidarity on the Havana boardwalk, while others will participate in university fairs in parks in different parts of this capital, Prensa Latina publishes.
As specified by the Young Communists League (UJC) in its official Twitter account, the concentration, under the name of Victoria Popular, will begin at 09:00, local time, on a route that will conclude in the March 13 square.
This site will host activities with students from different houses of higher education, as well as the parks of Avenida de los Presidentes (known as Calle G), and Trillo, all central locations in the city.
In addition to the university fair, a tweet is scheduled from 10:00 until 12:00, local time, with the tags #VictoriaPopular, #Cuba, #UJC, # PonleCorazón, #SeguimosGanando and # TúEresEl Presente.
“The difficult times are those that show the greatness of the peoples and Cuba, this small island, is gigantic in the face of difficulties,” remarked a message on Twitter from the youth group in keeping with the call.
The first secretary of the UJC, Aylín Álvarez, through a tweet, called on people to participate with discipline, responsibility and in strict compliance with hygienic-sanitary measures to avoid contagion with Covid-19 disease.
The caravan will coincide with the 27th anniversary of the events of August 5, 1994, when a group of citizens carried out violent acts and vandalism in streets near the Havana coast.
On that occasion, the historic leader of the Revolution, Fidel Castro, attended the conflict zone and his presence immediately attracted the support of the Cubans.
According to authorities and specialists, the island is the target of a simultaneous war: media, symbolic, economic, political, all connected by technology, which exacerbates violence in digital spaces and spreads false news on a global scale to distort reality and stimulate destabilization.
The Havana Foreign Ministry accused the United States Government of being directly involved in the July 11 riots in areas of the island territory, by financing and instigating such events.
Last July 17, thousands of people took to the streets here with a message of peace and love, and of rejection of interference in the internal affairs of the nation and of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States on Cuba for some more than six decades.
