Cargando...In a little over 24 hours we will be in 2025. We will arrive alive, healthy and with friends and family by our side, even if it has been a tough year in the economy, with tears in our souls for the departure of loved ones, and even with mastery in avoiding power outages, using the right transportation or withdrawing money from an ATM.
But the count is over. It is time to celebrate. First of all, the 66th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution. The most emancipating and sovereign process of the Americas in the face of the government-gendarme of the world, which, despite the harshest and most irrational sanctions, has not been able to take away the joy, the smiles, the rebellion and the creativity with which children, young people and parents have grown up. And above all the workers.
Just a few hours ago, the National Secretariat of the Central de Trabajadores de Cuba (CTC) added a second reason for celebration. The province of Guantanamo deserved to host the central activities, next January 28, for the 86th anniversary of the organization. In the midst of hurricanes, heat and scarcity, the unions of this territory knew how to grow and outdo other provinces that deserved the status of outstanding: Pinar del Rio, Matanzas, Santiago de Cuba and Holguin.
In all of them there will be celebration and commitment. There will be music and volunteer work. And the heroes with medals and the everyday people who carry them in their hands and in their work will not be forgotten. This union celebration also carries the light of the 22nd Congress, which in April will once again tell the nation: we are the decisive force to sustain the revolution and achieve the true prosperity we have longed for.
Celebrate is the Cuban verb for new goals. Nobody knows as well as we do how much we still have to do in the midst of so many financial ties. That is why our newspaper is also celebrating. We are part of the faith that will be renewed with 2025, and if we always talk about embracing, let ours reach Guantanamo and the other outstanding provinces.
The air is cut off and we let out an expression of joy: Congratulations, Cuba!
