A speech like a sound of a Bugle

The Aula Magna of the University of Havana recently hosted a significant event commemorating the 20th anniversary of Fidel Castro’s historic speech. On November 17, 2005, Castro delivered a powerful message, warning of the greatest dangers facing the Revolution while expressing unwavering confidence in the youth. The event was attended by prominent figures, including Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, President of the National Defense Council; Manuel Marrero Cruz, Prime Minister; and Roberto Morales Ojeda, Secretary of Organization of the Central Committee of the Party, alongside José Ramón Machado Ventura, Commander of the Rebel Army. Litza Elena González Desdín, National President of the Federation of University Students (FEU), highlighted the enduring impact of Castro’s legacy on her generation. She emphasized that studying Castro’s history, work, and thought has instilled a sense of responsibility in young Cubans to tackle contemporary challenges. González Desdín also urged students to engage in the ‘One University, One Task’ program, which aims to connect university students with projects contributing to the country’s socioeconomic development, particularly in the centennial year of Castro’s birth.
