Fifty-third
anniversary of the triumph of the Revolution
It is an
honour and a pleasure to represent the Association of Cubans in Toronto “Juan
Gualberto Gómez, on whose behalf I thank you for your continued support and
solidarity with the noble people of Cuba and its Revolution.
The
Revolution was the answer of the Cuban people to the terrible situation in
which the majority of them lived with no access to education, health care,
social assistance, or dignity. It was the regime of dictator Fulgencio Batista,
Washington’s man in Havana, who had seized the presidency of the nation by
force, and was receiving from them military supplies and assistance to fight
the Rebel Army.
On January 1st,
1959, the revolutionaries led by Fidel Castro took power as the tyrant escaped.
The Revolution brought new hopes and the real possibility of building a better
future with equal opportunities for all.
Slowly but
surely Cuba has advanced, its achievements in fields such as health care,
education, scientific research and social justice, just to name a few, are well
known facts all over the world.
The progress
of all these years have been constantly hindered by the economic and financial
blockade the United States of America imposes on Cuba since 1962. This inhuman
and unlawful blockade, that pretends to suffocate the country by hunger and
death, has prevented the Revolution from accomplishing all its ambitious plans,
doing what it can and not necessary what it wanted and had planned to do.
We demand
that this blockade against Cuba be lifted immediately.
We also
demand that the Cuban Five be released and returned to their families in Cuba
where they belong.
Guantánamo
belongs to Cuba, the occupation must end.
Viva la gloriosa Revolución Cubana
Viva Cuba Libre Socialista
