02:01follow the indictment that was made by the by a U.S. court in Miami against the army general five
02:08other co-defendants and attacking in in this way the sovereignty another step of the of the
02:16strengthened aggressive policy that the U.S. has been developing against the Caribbean island in
02:21the for the past couple of months especially since the end of since the end of January which also
02:27comes together with the heightened blockade that has been strengthened especially with the energy
02:32blockade if we recall no fuel ships has entered Cuba for the past five months due to this energy
02:38due to the energy blockade that has been imposed and following also all the military threats of

04:07correct the prosperous development of the nation a blockade that has been denounced and condemned by the
04:13international community as a whole as we see every year when the UN General Assembly vote on the necessity
04:18to eliminate the blockade comes around usually around October the vast majority of the of the wall of the world

13:18let's now listen to a young jurist rolando
13:36of the president of the president of the president of the president of the president dear and heroic
13:43people of cuba for me it's our privilege as a jurist to speak in this anti-imperialist
13:50tribe in the face of the aggressive embassy of the united states government
13:55and their statements against our people and its leaders
13:58we jurists support firmly the declaration of revolutionary government that contends
14:06this is the blatant accusation of the justice department of the united states
14:11against army general raul castro leader of the historic of the cuban revolution
14:17our beloved raul as we recognize him is a symbol of peace justice and dignity of the peoples of our
14:31america this contribution for the proclamation of latin american caribbean the son of peace
14:37in the peace agreements of colombia in the process of establishment of diplomatic relationship between
14:42cuba and the united states were decisive and is recognized at the international level
14:49the indictment made against our leader for the shoot down of two terrorist aircraft of the of that
14:57organization brothers the rescue of in 1996 in cuban airspace is absolutely fraudulent and illegal
15:07with full cynicism they try to manipulate and to change historic facts that have been broadly documented
15:15and were denounced in due time by our by our authorities to the government of the united states
15:23who is the sole responsible for the loss of human life and economic damage for the terrorist acts and
15:31the blockade against cuba as jurists we demand respect to the internet to international law in particular to the
15:42to the convention of chicago 1944 on civil aviation that established with full clarity the sovereignty
15:49the exclusive and absolute sovereignty of states over the earth space
15:56we denounce we denounce the complicity and the responsibility of the united states in the face of
16:03this illegal act internationally that he did not that they didn't stop the action that they were fully aware
16:13of the indictment against our army general raul castro lacks of all legitimacy and goes against international law
16:24and has solid base on the sovereign equality of states the united states cannot exert its jurisdiction
16:34in a matter that happened outside of their territory against cuban national this is a sovereign right
16:42exclusive and absolute granted to our state in the function of defending its people of which
16:49it made use in the face of the violations of the cuban airspace renounce the wholesale actions that aim to
16:58intimidate
16:59our people and leaders it is not a legal action it is another political action to strengthen the sanctions and
17:09actions
17:10that asphyxiate the cuban people is part of the fraudulent narrative that wants to be impulsed
17:16against u.s. citizens to justify a military aggression against our dignified and brave people cuban
17:24jurists defend peace and reject war as part of the people we are decided to exercise our right to
17:32defend our free homeland independent sovereign homeland in the face of any aggression
17:38as said by our commander in chief fidel castro to take sovereignty away from us they have to take
17:46away the land under our feet we support with strength and conviction our army general raul castro
17:52historic leader of the cuban revolution symbol a living example of an entire generation
17:58creators of this socialist humanist project of humbles for the humbles with the humbles to which we will
18:06never renounce and we call once more to the solidarity of every all people of goods of the war the
18:14tourists of the international community and especially the people of the united states to put an end to this
18:21fascist and genocidal policy against the cuban people as was said by our national hero jose marty
18:29who stands today with cuba stands for all time long live raw always until victory homeland or death we shall
18:40be victorious
18:51the war
18:53ÂĄViva RaĂșl! ÂĄViva! ÂĄViva!
18:59ÂĄVenceremos!
19:00ÂĄViva RaĂșl!
19:18Yo soy de toda parecer, donde una vez llegĂł mi claro corazĂłn.
19:25Llevo en la frente una verdad con vueltas, y en la mirada una verdad mĂĄs allĂĄ.
19:34Yo soy de todas partes, donde una buena vez dijimos basta y se acabĂł.
19:42Pero reparto mi pedazo a todo aquel, que mancho abierto abriĂł una puerta a los demĂĄs.
19:50Yo soy de los que vamos, rompiendo monte en cueros y en el puño un corazón.
19:58Soy de los que vamos, haciendo el primer carro donde monta el porvenir.
20:06Soy de los que vamos, rompiendo monte en cueros y en el puño un corazón.
20:15Soy de los que vamos, haciendo el primer carro donde monta el porvenir.
20:23Soy de donde el sueño, dejo de ser para soñar mås y mejor.
20:32Con rumbo nuevo alto y sereno con amor, con plena certidumbre para hacerlo verdad.
20:39Yo soy de donde el dĂa, definitivamente se afinco en la realidad.
20:48Con nubarrones y tormentas por llegar, pero seguro que no habré de regresar.
20:56Yo soy de los que vamos, rompiendo monte en cueros y en el puño un corazón.
21:05Soy de los que vamos, haciendo el primer carro donde monta el porvenir.
21:13Soy de los que vamos, haciendo el primer carro donde monta el porvenir.
21:32Yo soy de todas partes, y hacia todas partes llevo mi canciĂłn.
21:41Porque este canto que naciĂł del batallar, ha sido un parto de los que han echado a andar.
21:50Yo soy de todas partes, pues todo sitio es bueno para reposar.
21:57Y también sé que mi camino es el final.
22:01Mientras mĂĄs que de muchos, mĂĄs nos seguirĂĄ.
22:06Yo soy de los que vamos, rompiendo monte en cueros y en el puño un corazón.
22:14So we are listening to the activities that are taking place in the Havana Anti-Imperialist Tribune.
22:26We are listening to the singers speaking on the strength of the Cuban people.
22:37We are going to give way to a woman that represents victims and going to speak on behalf of the
22:44victims of terrorist actions against the Cuban people.
22:50who lost her mother when she was only 12 due to a terrorist attack on a diplomatic facility.
23:05Compañero Miguel DĂaz-Canel, first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba, President of the Republic.
23:17Dear people of Cuba, I've always thought I could have been different from how I am.
23:25Maybe more joyful and less responsible.
23:27But it's not that I don't like to be responsible.
23:28My mother taught me during the few years that we were able to share how to be responsible.
23:36How after such monstrous act feel happy or don't worry about as the rest of my colleagues of studies.
23:46A teenager that lost her mother at 12 years destroyed by a mom with two smaller siblings
23:53can never be once more just another girl.
23:56In April 22nd of 1976, or 50 years ago,
24:03terrorists financed and sponsored by the U.S. government
24:08put an end to the life of two youths.
24:11Adriana Corcho, my mother, and Efrén Monteagudo,
24:15who were on a diplomatic mission in the Cuban Embassy in Portugal.
24:21Adriana was simple, certain,
24:25daughter of workers.
24:30She was also a righteous mother and loving mother,
24:38a good neighbor, a loyal friend.
24:44She was always characterized by her high sense of responsibility and camaraderie ship.
24:50That's why when she detected the exclusive device in the kitchens in the embassy,
24:59quickly she led the rest of workers about the situation at the same time that she took measures to try
25:07to avoid the loss of more human life.
25:10without being able to prevent that in that process she, together with your colleague, felt victims of terrorism.
25:22The perpetrators of this series of this series act had the intention of killing diplomatic officials as well as children,
25:31sons of the diplomatic officials, that by blank luck they were currently outside of the embassy on that day.
25:43A friend Adriana can be seen in many young people along these years.
25:48We have seen them multiplied in those that fought and offered their life in Venezuela,
25:53those that prevented the infiltration in Villa Clara.
25:59Durante estos cincuenta años hemos sentido su ausencia en todos los momentos felices,
26:05happy and difficult moments that we faced.
26:09We were not able to enjoy their joy when we finished in our studies of where the grandson was born.
26:16We also lacked her motherly love when we were sick.
26:21These feelings are remembered when we think that her life was ended with an atrocious terrorist act financed by a
26:31government
26:31as the one of the United States that just announced the indictment of Army General Raul Castro,
26:37a decision, an infamous decision, immoral decision, and lacks any kind of legitimacy that we denounce today.
26:46Raul is a man of family that has educated his entire life to defend the Cuban sovereignty,
26:52the dignity of its people.
26:58He has been one of the main promoters of the proclamation of Latin American and Caribbean as a son of
27:02peace.
27:03Martin told us, family, a place without limits of space where we can learn to love life.
27:13Humans, we are a great family.
27:15That's why we are people of peace.
27:18We are people of life.
27:20We cannot continue to allow the genocide that is being committed from the United States against our courageous people.
27:29They want to asphyxiate us, to strangle us, but here we are, alive.
27:34We cannot forget the more than 67 years of aggression, mercenary invasions, fire attacks and sabotage on Cubans abroad
27:48amid this blockade that has cost the lives of over 300 competitors, victims of terrorist acts.
27:57All these actions are clear and irreputable of the necessity that our country has to defend from such acts.
28:06Not with terrorist acts, not with infamous indictment, not with blockade measures,
28:15will they be able to contain our tireless struggle against terrorism and in favor of peace and truth.
28:25Dear Raul, Cuba today is with you.
28:30We will always be loyal.
28:32Raul is Raul.
28:33Raul is Raul.
28:35Raul is Raul.
28:35Homeland or death, we shall be victorious.
28:43In the name of the millions of people gathered here on this May 1st, I want to send a message
28:53to the world and the people of the United States.
28:58We do not wish for the bloods of Cubans and your citizens be spilled in a war.
29:07We do not wish an uncalculable number of life and people that can be friends are lost in a war.
29:21But we will never, a people had so much sacred things to defend and nor so deep conviction for which
29:34to fight.
29:37That way that we would rather disappear from the face of earth before renouncing to the noble and generous work
29:49for which many generations of Cubans have paid the high price of many lives of its best sons and daughters.
30:06Viva!

32:49Lo que no voy a entender es que un mal agradecido
32:53pida un misil para el nido que un dĂa lo vio no ser.
33:01Hay quien cree que Donald Trump es un Cristo rubio y fuerte,
33:13lo que se trae la muerte en vez de la salvaciĂłn.
33:20Que deje la acusaciĂłn y levante la amenaza.

37:46AquĂ estamos una vez
37:47Here we are once more, close to the sculpture of Osama MartĂ with his accusing finger indicating clearly where the
37:59real culprits are of the great difficulties that these people faces without surrender.
38:11They, the imperialists, they cannot forgive us for the dignity that they cannot destroy against our high moral.
38:24They plan all kinds of schemes always allied with lies and terrorism and arrogance and hate against this land.
38:36They are capable of atrocious diplomatic and moral actions as the cynic and deceitful message of the State Secretary last
38:50May 20th with a clear incitation to rioting against the constitutional order and legal order of our country.
38:58Ignoring that his words, instead of the desired effect, has generated hatred and indignation among Cubans.
39:13Of our national hero to whom we paid tribute just a few hours back in the anniversary of his death
39:22in combat, we learned that monster is the exact definition to define what is being organized in the empire.
39:33The apostle was there and from there committed with the security of the homeland, the five were there and we
39:39know very well.
39:44We know very well the truth of what now they try to manipulate and use with in the land of
39:57the north we learn up close the macabre plans that were organized and continue to be organized against Cuba.
40:06We met Assunto now presented as a victim but he was hired by the by the US security agencies for
40:15his terrorist action.
40:17That's one of the true culprit of those regretful death trying to provoke a confrontation between both countries.
40:26But do not believe that it is easy to deceive the Cubans.
40:30Many times ago we ended up being illiterate or just simple washers without the ability to think and identify the
40:41lies.
40:42How little they know us, how wrong they are if they think that these people can break when they learn
40:54about the deceitful actions against its leader.
40:56How stupid that plan, ignoring that in Cuba for a long time we do not bend because Yankees raise their
41:05voice.
41:07They are sons of the empire that do not represent the best values of the US people.
41:16Who do they believe to be to judge Raul, the young that assaulted Moncada without fear of death.
41:22The expeditionary grandma, he who went to fight against an army with barely seven rifles.
41:30He founded the second front and changed the life of farmers.
41:37The faithful follower of Fidel, capable of the man love with the same intensity and high human sensitivity.
41:48The US government does not have legitimacy, nor proof, nor jurisdiction to accuse army general.
41:57The mobs of Miami know this, Washington knows this, and the world knows this.
42:03We ask, the empire that has invaded with lies, that has tortured in Guantanamo, does that empire has a moral
42:15authority to point the finger at anyone?
42:17The answer is no.
42:19This accusation against Raul is a despicable and illegal provocation that is only based with hate, frustration, and impotence of
42:35those that cannot bear that Cuba is standing free and sovereign.
42:43They deceitfully manipulate the facts that on February 1996 occurred and led to the shoot down over Cuban airspace of
42:53two aircraft of the organization Brothers to the Rescue commanded by their terrorist leader Jose Basuto.
43:01What is not being said by the spokesman of the empire, the hide that that organization had violated in repeated
43:11occasions the Cuban airspace.
43:12It was not once, twice, or three times.
43:15Cuba denounced in due time more than 25 grave and deliberate violations of the Cuban airspace between 1994 and 1996.
43:28Our country denounced and asked repeatedly the United States to not allow more violations of our airspace, that they take
43:39action against Brothers to the Rescue.
43:41If they had done this, the fatal outcome would have been avoided.
43:46But only after what happened, the United States withdraw the license for the time to pilot Jose Basuto.
43:55No one did more than Cuba to avoid an incident of that nature.
44:00But we had and we have the moral obligation to protect the safety of our people.
44:13The great question that we asked today that anyone with a small amount of intelligence would do is what sovereign
44:23country would allow for its sovereign airspace to be violated over 25 times without taking action.
44:30Not a single one.
44:32Not a single one.
44:33Cuba warned publicly and officially that those violations were inadmissible.
44:39Moreover, we sent alert warnings directly to the President of the United States about the seriousness and possible consequences of
44:49the incursions of Brothers to the Rescue.
44:51And what did Washington do?
44:53And what did Washington do?
44:56Their silence was complicity.
44:59Their inaction was encouragement for the terrorists.
45:03Therefore, we upheld with all strength of law and reason that the response of Cuba in the face of the
45:14erasured violations of its airspace constituted an act of legitimate defense.
45:20It is an inalienable right of any nation and an obligation to care for the safety of its citizens.
45:28Or would the United States allow its airspace to be violated?
45:35Of course not.
45:36They would act as they have proven once and again with the use of disproportionate force.
45:44The hypocrisy of the U.S. government is of monumental proportions.
45:49They demand for it what it denies for the rest.
45:53The inaction in the face of the alerts of Cuba proves its complicity with terrorism.
46:00They are accomplices of terrorism.
46:09When will they judge?
46:13And when will they announce the trial against President Trump for giving the order to kill over 200 people and
46:22destroy 57 vessels in international waters of the Caribbean and the Pacific,
46:28without showing one single proof, only on the suspicion that they were drug traffickers.
46:38They were cold blooded murders without trial.
46:43And now they come and try to accuse Army General Raul Castro.
46:47There is too much cynicism in that accusation for the United States.
46:53The law is a suit at their disposition to use however they want.
47:01But we know well, people from the Empire, that that infamous accusation against Raul is only an addition to the
47:11desperate efforts of the Mafia in Miami to justify the punishment against the Cuban people and the threats of military
47:22aggression.
47:22But they will not achieve that.
47:27Cuba reaffirm its commitment to peace because we are a people of peace and its firm determination of exercising the
47:35right to the legitimate defense.
47:38No one will be able to take that right away from us.
47:46The Cuban people reaffirms the unshakable decision to defend the homeland and the revolution.
47:53And with the greatest strength, we ratify our support to Army General Raul Castro, as was declared by the revolutionary
48:06government and has been demonstrated in every corner of the homeland.
48:15Raul is not an accused. Raul is our leader, a soldier of dignity, an heir of MartĂ and Fidel.
48:25And as long as there is one single Cuban with the feet held high, that lie will be repelled with
48:36strength, with truth, and with unity.
48:41Long live Raul! Long live Raul! Long live Fidel! Long live Dias Canel!
48:48Long live Dias Canel! Homeland or death, we shall be victorious!
48:50Long live Dias Canel!
48:53Long live Dias Canel!
49:02Long live Dias Canel!
49:24We continue to see life amidst thousands of people gathering the anti-imperial
49:28and serving an iconic landmark in the Havana MalecĂłn, the capital of the country where
49:34people have gathered in representation of all Cubans to express their support for Army
49:40General RaĂșl Castro and the sovereignty of the nation and commitment to peace for the
49:44Reignes to defend it with their life if necessary. Let's listen to the cultural act of the music and
49:50dance performance that marked the closure of this rally.

56:21This event closes, an event that reaffirms the commitment of the people and the support
56:28of the Cuban people with the revolution and with Army General Raul Castro.
56:34And also with the sound of traditional Cuban rhythms, the people now will continue to march
56:42and move as part of this large scale, this massive rally of people that have gathered
56:47in the Havana Malecone, in this iconic landmark of anti-imperialist tribune as the event concludes.
56:55And as we're saying, the people in this way reaffirmed their support for Army General Raul Castro
57:01and for the achievements of the Cuban Revolution and also they reaffirmed their willingness
57:07to continue defending and support the revolution and all their conquests.
57:13And once more, from different sectors of society, they express, we listen to the jurists, we listen
57:18to women representing women, women of Cuba, we listen to different sectors of society,
57:23they reaffirmed their support and commitment for the Cuban Revolution and their willingness
57:28to defend the conquest of revolution, as we were saying, and denounce the accusations, the indictment
57:38that was made against Army General Raul Castro.
57:51Well, so as we were saying, this just happened live in Havana, this coming, this large rally
57:56that was called following the indictment of the U.S. Court against Army General for what the Cubans
58:06have denounced, a clear, deceitful, manipulative narrative that they are trying to impose to continue
58:11to justify its actions against, its aggressive actions against the Cuban people
58:16and its collective punishment with the imposition and strengthening of the economic blockade
58:20and as well as the energy blockade.
58:24So we'll have more information about this important rally and its repercussions
58:27across the day, so stay tuned with Tesoro English for that.
