In a powerful display of unity, Cuba has reaffirmed its unwavering support for Venezuela, a nation currently facing significant military pressure from the United States. Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, expressed solidarity with Venezuela and its President, Nicolás Maduro, during a public statement on X. He emphasized that Venezuela, the homeland of Simón Bolívar and Hugo Chávez, will not stand alone amidst the escalating tensions. Díaz-Canel condemned the US military deployment, which includes approximately 1,200 missiles, as well as covert CIA operations targeting Venezuela. He invoked the words of Cuban national hero José Martí, who famously declared, ‘Give me Venezuela to serve, she has a son in me,’ and echoed Fidel Castro’s sentiment that ‘For Venezuela, we must give our all.’ The Cuban people have also demonstrated their solidarity, gathering at the equestrian statue of Simón Bolívar to express their support. Díaz-Canel further quoted Bolívar, who once warned that the United States ‘seems destined by Providence to plague America with misery in the name of freedom.’ This statement underscores Cuba’s commitment to defending Venezuela against external aggression and its broader critique of US interventionism in Latin America.
