Hundreds of Cubans gathered in Havana to mark the 65th anniversary of #FidelCastro’s declaration of the #socialist character of the Cuban Revolution.

Iván Domínguez Rivera, sugar industry #union leader, described the event as an affirmation of national unity at a time of economic hardship and renewed threats from Washington.

Participants also condemned the U.S. government’s #EconomicWarfare, intensified in recent months by fuel restrictions that have deepened shortages across the island.

“No threat will prevent the unity of these people,” Domínguez said.

In her visit to Cuba, Rep. #PramilaJayapal (D-WA) says dialogue and cooperation would benefit both countries.
