Havana, July 25 (RHC)-- Cuba is celebrating the 70th anniversary of the assaults on the Moncada Barracks in Santiago de Cuba and Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Barracks in Bayamo with mobilizations and the promotion of works of social and economic benefit.
Although the central act in remembrance of the heroic deed carried out on July 26, 1953 by a group of young revolutionaries led by Fidel Castro will be held on Wednesday in the province of Santiago, initiatives to commemorate the date and honor its heroes are being developed in the rest of the country.
In western Artemisa, the territory from where several of those young fighters left on July 24, 1953, its inhabitants expressed the day before the commitment to continue working on the dreams of popular welfare and social justice that their children contributed to start seven decades ago.
With the Mausoleum to the Martyrs of Artemisa as a stage, the first secretary of the Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), Gladys Martínez, assured that the people of Artemisa will never stop working for a better tomorrow for their nation.
In the presence of the Commander of the Revolution Ramiro Valdés, who received the homage of his native land, the Central de Trabajadores de Cuba delivered there the National Vanguard Collective Flag in 2022 to several labor groups.
In the city of Cienfuegos (South Central), its workers commemorated the date on Monday wearing the red and black colors of the 26th of July Movement, while in Pinar del Río (west), the population, immersed in a recovery process after the devastating passage of a hurricane, reaffirmed its commitment to promote vital socio-economic programs.
Similar activities took place during the day in other provinces such as Sancti Spíritus (center).
Havana, where 11 people had some relation with the Moncada heroic deed, celebrated last Sunday the National Rebellion Day, with a ceremony at the Vilma Espín School, in the municipality of Playa, in which the first secretary of the PCC in the province, Luis Antonio Torres, assured that the capital of the country will never fail the Revolution.
He also affirmed that the authorities of the PCC and the government are devoted to the search for solutions to the problems that most affect the people. (Source:PL)
