Only
40 days away from the 40th Anniversary of the great battle in
which we could defend the independence and the right of a new
truthful Revolution we dare to foresee that the US imperialists
will face a gigantic Giron, Cuban President Fidel Castro said
today at the Open Meeting held Saturday a the Playa municipality
in Havana City.
The
First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba told the more
than 200 thousand people in front of him said "It will take
us years maybe, but weŽll destroy the cynical and abject lies
of the Empire, its dehumanized and egotistic conceptions. "It
will take us years, maybe but theyŽll keep suffering defeat
after defeat and will not have any victory that it is not a
Pirric one"he said.
Fidel
affirmed that nothing and nobody will be able to stop the
destiny of the Cubans, not without arms or by means of ignorance,
deceit or demagoguery.
Very
few people could still doubt that Cuba, in at least ten more
years will be most cultured country in the world.
In
that struggle for a general integrated culture, he mentioned the
University for All program, the round tables , the schools for
Art Instructors inaugurated in all provinces, and on each one of
them the centers for the trainig of plastic arts, music, dance
and other artistic manifestations.
He
also made reference to the thousand of libraries created fore
all citizens and the massive employment of audiovisual means.
At the
beginning of his speech, Fidel reminded that 15 months and 26
days before the greatest massive movement ever begun in the
history of Cuba took place and that the brutal kidnapping of a
child was the spark that started this struggle and the
Compromise of Baragua. He said that this Compromise says that
the Cuban people will not stop until the blockade and
aggressions , the Helms-Burton law, the assassin Cuban
Adjustment Law which stimulates the illegal immigration and
takes thousands of lives and the illegal occupation of the
national territory occupied by the Guantanamo Base.
That
struggle he said has turned today into a colossal battle of
ideas that will continue while the imperialist system exists,
said Fidel in front of the mass of people at Playa municipality.
The Cuban President denounced the US maneuvers to put Cuba at
the accused bench at the UN Commission for Human Rights in
Geneva. He underlined that the US keeps its attacks against the
Island , even three months after the most scandalous electoral
fraud that ever took place at the Northern country.
Fidel
remarked that Cuba has resisted more than 40 years of economic
blockade, mercenary invasion, economic and political dirty war,
all imaginable methods of subversion, and destabilization,
without excluding hundreds of failed attempts to behead the
political process by assassinating its leaders.
In
making a review of the international situation, Fidel indicated
that in all parts the rebelliousness of the peoples grows,
millions of persons suffering from illiteracy, more hunger, more
unemployment , more drugs, more delinquencies, more AIDS, more
political corruption and deception, more alienating publicity
and contamination, more desserts, and less cultivable areas
exist.
He
attacked the United States for proclaiming that it will not
respect the international agreement to reduce the gas emanations,
thus ratifying the absolute disrespect to the opinions and
interests of the rest of the world, including the American
people. Such action-he said-preceded by others like the
unilateral decision of building a unilateral missile cover which
will lead to another armaments race.
In
pointing out the decision of Cubans who are determined and
conscientious of their responsibilities in the struggle for
justice, he made reference to Jose MartiŽs statement that
Homeland is Humanity.
