Communist and socialist organizations worldwide are amplifying their support for Cuba and Venezuela amidst escalating tensions with the United States government. The movement gained momentum during recent international gatherings, where leaders denounced American foreign policy as imperialist aggression.
At a mass rally in Telangana, India, marking the centenary of the Communist Party of India (CPI), General Secretary D. Raja publicly reiterated solidarity with Cuba, Venezuela, and Palestine. The event, attended by Cuban Ambassador Juan Carlos Marsán and Telangana Prime Minister Revanth Reddy, served as a platform for condemning U.S. economic sanctions and political threats.
Simultaneously, India’s Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) of Liberation issued a formal statement through General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya, characterizing the U.S. embargo against Cuba as ‘illegal, inhumane, and genocidal.’ The communique paid special tribute to 32 Cuban internationalists who died in Venezuela, honoring them as martyrs in the anti-imperialist struggle.
European political forces joined the chorus of support, with Italy’s Communist Party observing a minute of silence for Cuban combatants during celebrations of Fidel Castro’s centenary. Secretary General Angelo Lombardo extolled Cuba as ‘the greatest example of dignity and the most heroic force’ in contemporary geopolitics.
French solidarity organization Cuba Linda echoed these sentiments, emphasizing that fallen Cuban heroes died ‘in fulfillment of their internationalist duty.’ The group called for expanded mobilization efforts and urged Latin American leaders to defend international law and national sovereignty against U.S. pressure.
The coordinated international responses highlight growing ideological divisions as organizations frame Cuba’s resistance to U.S. sanctions as a beacon for global anti-imperialist movements.
