Havana, March 5 (RHC) – Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, paid tribute on March 5, to leader of the Bolivarian Revolution, Hugo Chávez Frías, on the sixth anniversary of his death.

In a tweet, Diaz-Canel noted that Chávez’s spirit lives on in the Venezuelan people, struggling against increasing hostility from domestic and foreign groups seeking regime change in the south American country.

He also recalled the legacy of Cuba’s best friend, while reiterating the international call for an end to intervention and aggression against Venezuela.

In this same vein, Diaz-Canel described as absurd, illegal and a violation of the country’s sovereignty, renewed U.S. hostility against Cuba, after the State Department announced March 4, the activation of a section of the Helms Burton Act, allowing law suits to be filed against certain Cuban companies as of March 19.
