Santiago de Cuba, July 26 (RHC)-- Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel addressed the rally gathered at the commemoration for the 70th anniversary of the attacks on the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Cespedes garrisons early Wednesday morning.

In the central words of the ceremony, President Miguel Díaz-Canel referred to the history of the Hero City, which yesterday reached its 508th anniversary.

He also recalled the events of July 26, 1953 and emphasized the privilege of being today in the place of the assault with some of its protagonists.

The Cuban leader pointed out that it is the duty of the new generations to maintain what has been conquered and advance further.

As long as the U.S. government persists in its attempt to suffocate us with its genocidal blockade, as long as we do not reach a level of dignified prosperity for every Cuban, we will have a Moncada to storm, said Díaz-Canel.
