Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Party’s Central Committee, delivered a compelling address at the Third International Meeting of Theoretical Publications of Left-wing Parties and Movements. Emphasizing the interconnectedness of global struggles, Díaz-Canel asserted that threats to any nation are threats to all, urging left-wing forces worldwide to mobilize consciousness and foster strategic political communication. He highlighted the importance of international solidarity in achieving ideological sovereignty, which he described as not only territorial but also symbolic, cultural, and spiritual. The Cuban leader called for unity in the fight against global capitalism, stressing the need for a counterpoint to colonization. His remarks followed a keynote lecture by French-Spanish professor Ignacio Ramonet, who explored the challenges posed by quantum artificial superintelligence and the rapid advancements in technology. Ramonet warned of the risks of misinformation and manipulation while acknowledging the opportunities these technologies present for progressive forces. Díaz-Canel underscored the revolutionary nature of the meeting, describing it as a space for holistic debate on contemporary issues, rooted in socialist construction and the will to transform the world. He praised the efforts of left-wing parties and movements operating in capitalist societies and those building socialism, emphasizing the need to harness technology for emancipatory purposes. The Cuban president also proposed the creation of an international network of left-wing publications to coordinate efforts against imperialist media offensives, promote ideological unity, and train new generations of revolutionary communicators. The event, part of the Centennial celebrations of Fidel Castro Ruz, served as a platform to honor his legacy and inspire collective action for a better world.
