20th IMCWP -Athens

23-25 November 2018

On the second anniversary of his loss on 25th of November 2016, we commemorate comrade Fidel Castro, a heroic revolutionary, a patriotic popular leader, and a dedicated communist. Today, Fidel is among us, in ourminds, thoughts and in our struggle. As in the words of Cuban youth, Fidel will always live!

We address that, despite the ceaselessly encountered challenges and attacks, the 60 years of experience of Cuba, at a very close distance to the bastion of the world imperialism, is the living proof of the historic allegitimacy of socialism against capitalism.

In these 60 years, Cuba has established a participatory social system on the basis of equality and justice and has been able to cover the essential needs of all citizens, with out any single citizen being left unprotected. Exceptional developments in education, health, culture and science has been accomplished, which have in many ways enlightened and benefitted peoples of the world. Cuba not only inspired but also supported the liberation struggles and just causes of people who rose up against imperialism.

As the communist and workers’ parties who participate at the 20th International Meeting of Communist and Workers’ Parties in Athens, we hereby declare that we salute the memory of comrade Fidel with respect, admiration and Revolutionary feelings. We are standing in solidarity with the Communist Party of Cuba and the Cuban people against the imperialist aggression and fully condemn the unjust blockade of the USA against Cuba.

Long live the Cuban revolution!

Hands off Cuba!
