Havana, August 6, 2017
Year 59 of the Revolution
Nicolás Maduro Moros
President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
Dear Nicolás:
With immense revolutionary jubilation I learned the results of the elections and the installation of the National Constituent Assembly. Undoubtedly this process represents a valuable lesson, which makes Venezuela a symbol for our continent, as Fidel affirmed with its meridian clarity. The demonstration of popular support has been clear and resounding, faithful to the legacy of El Libertador Simón Bolívar and President Hugo Chávez Frías.
Experience shows that every act of terror raises the morale of the people, each aggression makes it stronger, each blow strengthens unity.
Surely, there will come days of intense struggle, of international harassment, of blockades, of limitations; But they will also be days of creation and work for the revolutionaries and all the Venezuelan people who, as before, will not be alone and will have us Cubans, in the front rank of militant solidarity and more committed to their cause.
A big hug,
Raúl Castro Ruz
