Cuba Socialista, the theoretical and political magazine of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba, has unveiled its special 2024-2025 issue, coinciding with the Third Edition of the International Meeting of Theoretical Publications of Leftist Parties and Movements in Havana. This edition marks the beginning of the commemorations for the 100th anniversary of Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz, set to be celebrated in 2026. The commemorative program was officially presented on August 13, 2025, in Birán, Castro’s birthplace. The issue features a speech by Roberto Morales Ojeda, member of the Political Bureau and secretary of Organization of the Party’s Central Committee, delivered during the program’s launch. Additionally, the magazine honors the founders of the first Communist Party of Cuba in its centenary year and includes key speeches from the Second International Meeting of Theoretical Publications of Left-wing Parties and Movements. A significant highlight is the report and closing remarks by Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee and President of Cuba, which underscore the depth of the debates and the principled positions adopted during the event. The issue also dedicates space to solidarity with the Palestinian people, reflecting the voices of over 100,000 Havana residents who protested against Israel’s actions in Gaza on October 9th. Furthermore, it commemorates the centenary of Vladimir Lenin’s passing, leader of the First Socialist Revolution. This special edition also kicks off the magazine’s 65th-anniversary celebrations, which will culminate in 2026 alongside the 9th Congress of the Communist Party and Fidel Castro’s centennial.
