When the people of Cuba march, it is no mere formality. When streets and souls resound with a «Viva Fidel» or a «Patria o muerte» followed by a «Venceremos» (We will triumph), the day resounds with pride and confidence in the future. Fortunate are the nations that have not lost their dreams, and those determined to continue building them. The date has been set for May 1, because only unity and commitment will lead us to new victories. The island calls its sons and daughters of goodwill, marked by the love that our history has sowed.
