In direct contradiction with President Biden’s recent declarations before the United Nations General Assembly, supporting multilateralism and cooperation in the struggle against the pandemic at a global level, the blockade of Cuba has been tightened, new sanctions were imposed and a new destabilization plan was set in motion, following their “soft coup” manual to the letter…
-Against a socialist project like ours, violent or military actions, invasion, occupation are never ruled out; but the first bet is on demoralization, on surrender, this is why the message of hatred of communism, the anti-socialist emphasis, the persecution of every possible economic solution, in short, the blockade…
-This is why Washington is so annoyed by Cuba’s success in confronting the pandemic, in particular the outstanding results of our vaccination program, developed with ingenuity, effort and our own resources. This explains the determination to disparage our public health system and deny this extraordinary achievement of Cuba…
-Every vaccine created and administered, every immunized compatriot, every infection avoided and every life saved are victories for the national cause and defeats of the imperialist aggression against our country. It may seem incredible to describe it that way, but there is no other way to describe the shameless use of a pandemic, with cold political calculation, against an entire people… In response to the imperialist plans, we are defeating the pandemic, as we have defeated and will defeat their aggressive plans, no matter how vicious the campaigns or slanders…
-Thanks to Fidel’s visionary policy of promoting science, and the continuity Raúl provided to that work; thanks to the talent, dedication and commitment with which several generations of Cuban researchers have been trained; our government has been able to face, like no other in Latin America or the Third World, the terrible threat of a pandemic… Today we are the first country in Latin America with three vaccines and two vaccine candidates under development, and the first in the world to begin vaccinating its pediatric population between two and 18 years of age…
-On November 15, Cuba will reopen its borders, students will return to school; Havana, the capital of dignity, will await its 502nd anniversary, to celebrate as it has not been able to do in the last two years. National life will resume its course, with the greatest joy, but alert
-The peace and harmony that distinguish life in our streets will continue to reign.

The CIGB-Mariel biotechnological complex, inaugurated October 25, is the first high-technology operation established in the Mariel Special Development Zone, a product of the joint efforts and knowledge of Cuban technologists, engineers and designers.

All are affiliated with the Esines specialized engineering services company affiliated with the BioCubaFarma enterprise group and the new CIGB-Mariel itself, were recognized in a ceremony for their design and technological conceptualization of the project, completed with optimum quality and financed with 100% Cuban capital.

During the event, presided by Party Political Bureau member and director of the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (CIGB), Marta Ayala Avila, as well as Oscar Treto Cardenas, from the Party Central Committee, BioCubaFarma director Eduardo Martinez Diaz stated that this treasure, of which the Cuban people is proud, was possible thanks to those who contributed, in many moments of tension, to ensuring that the highest standards were met in construction of the complex.

The young designer Lázaro Leonardo Hernández, an Esines specialist, described the experience as the most gratifying of his professional career, consolidating and giving continuity to the development of Cuban biotechnology.

Miguel Francisco Prado Muñoz, general director of Esines, added that the complex, built in just 57 months, is a huge plus for the Cuban technological industry and one of the most advanced in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The new facility’s director, engineer Catalina Álvarez Irarragorri, reported that plans for the complex include the production of vaccines and innovative drugs to treat diseases that afflict the Cuban population and of other nations, as well.

Agent Fernando exposes U.S. trained counterrevolutionary

Agent Fernando exposes U.S. trained counterrevolutionary

“Yunior is seeking a confrontation with the Armed Forces and Minint, we are seeing in him the creation and actions of a counterrevolutionary,” stated Dr. Carlos Leonardo Vazquez Gonzalez, on the Cuban television program Razones de Cuba, and he has the evidence. He knows that the objectives of the marches being promoted to take place November 15 are not as transparent as presented, and his actions are not isolated, or spontaneous.

Dr. Vázquez González, who for more than 25 years has been State Security agent Fernando, participated in a September 2019 workshop euphemistically entitled “The role of the Armed Forces in a transition process,” sponsored by the Madrid branch of Saint Louis University, also attended by Yunior García Aguilera, who is promoting the marches despite being informed by authorities of their illicit nature.

“That workshop was part of a project conducted by experts from different parts of the world; behind it are many organizations financed by the United States to overthrow the Cuban Revolution, such is the case of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED),” the doctor noted.

At this event, Richard Youngs, an expert from the Washington-based Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, gave a lecture on new forms of civic activism, espousing an approach directed toward the establishment of fundamentalist, privatizing capitalism, taking advantage of the population’s dissatisfaction, a strategy that has left its mark in countries like Venezuela, Nicaragua and Bolivia.

According to Dr. Vázquez, participants in the workshop were mostly Cuban journalists, doctors and historians, along with Felipe González Márquez, leader of the Spanish Socialist Workers Party and President of the nation for 14 years, who in 1983 created the so-called Anti-Terrorist Liberation Groups, responsible for kidnappings, torture and murders in that country.
