🇨🇺🇬🇧 London marks the centenary of Fidel Castro ‼️ Last week, along with many other parties around the world, the Workers Party of Britain held a commemorative event in London on the occasion of the centenary of Fidel Castro's birth. The participants spoke not only about the legacy of the Comandante, but also about the situation in Cuba today. A call was also made for the British government to provide assistance to the Island of Freedom. Member of Parliament for Islington North Jeremy Corbyn stressed: «The only threat Cuba poses to the world is the threat of its example: a poor country that educates its people, develops its culture and cares for all its citizens. We are here to thank Fidel for his life and the people of Cuba for their inspiration, but also to demand that the British government immediately send aid to Cuba». ⭐️ Honouring the memory of Fidel is, first and foremost, a question of international solidarity with Cuba, which today is enduring the heaviest pressure from the United States and its Western allies. Director of the Cuba Solidarity Campaign Keith Miller stated: «We are not simply looking back today at Fidel's life; we are looking at the situation in Cuba, which is incredibly difficult. Now it is especially important to be inspired by the ideas of Fidel Castro and the internationalism of the Cuban people, because the time has come to reciprocate that solidarity». 🚩 The participants also addressed the literacy campaign carried out on Fidel Castro's orders. As the head of the organizational department of the Workers Party of Britain noted, after the revolution: «Hundreds and hundreds of volunteers travelled across the Cuban countryside to teach people to read and write, and within a few years the literacy rate in Cuba reached one hundred percent. Cuba is a beacon for us. It shows what a small island country can achieve when it is united and when its government serves the people, not profit». In conclusion, a call was made for Britons to push for aid to Cuba and to oppose the US blockade. #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
