00:00:04At this hour we go live to Pinar del Rio, Cuba, where the country is celebrating the

00:00:09commemoration of National Rebellion Day. Let's see. We're looking at the images of

00:00:19the act of commemoration of National Rebellion Day currently going on in the

00:00:24Cuban province of Pinar del Rio.

00:00:35Today I remember the mambis that they fought in these camps and the courage

00:00:42derramed by defending their roots.

00:00:51By open cicatrices llovió the Cuban blood blood.

00:01:01And that son of Mariana, with the hands of a lion, was the one who brought the invasion

00:01:37until the land of Mantua.

00:01:42By open cicatrices llovió llovió llovió llovió llovió llovió llovió llovió.

00:02:06Desde Oriente hasta Occidente, según la historia testigua, hay héroes en la manigua que viven eternamente.

00:02:20Y si el águila impaciente agrede al caimán un día.

00:02:29Con la misma valentía de aquellos guapos leones en Cuba quedan millones de maceos todavía.

00:02:40Mi patria ha sido y será por su historia y por su herencia, mi patria ha sido y será por

00:02:51su historia y por su herencia, un grito de independencia y un eterno paraguas.

00:02:58No tembló ni temblará frente al enemigo cruel, y sabrá el despotá aquel que bloquea y descontrola de que Cuba

00:03:13es una zona de Céspedes a Fidel.

00:07:40We're looking at the images of the act commemorating the anniversary, the 73rd anniversary of the July 26,

00:07:491953 attack on the Moncada barracks.

00:07:53This was an act that occurred in Pinar in the province, the eastern province of Cuba, Santiago

00:07:58de Cuba, which is the crucial moment that started the Cuban Revolution.

00:08:02Let's recall this moment on July 26, 1953, the commander-in-chief of the Cuban Revolution,

00:08:09Fidel Castro Cruz, decided to attack the Moncada barracks, which was one of the main military bases

00:08:16of the dictator of that moment, Fulgencio Batista, which took over the country by force in 1952.

00:08:24Now, this marks National Rebellion Day since this moment on.

00:08:29This is the 73rd anniversary of National Rebellion Day, which is commemorated in Cuba

00:08:34with many celebrations with acts all around Cuba.

00:08:38But now, especially, the main celebration is underway in Pinar de Río, in the western province of Pinar de Río

00:08:46of Cuba,

00:08:48which we can see many Cuban authorities, including President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez.

00:08:54More than 5,000 residents of Pinar de Río gathered today in the temporary plaza in the Hernández Cruz neighborhoods.

00:09:00This has been 50 years since the first July 26 celebration in Pinar de Río,

00:09:05and this is the fourth time the province has been designated as the host for the July 26 celebration.

00:09:10This July 26, Pinar de Río's Plaza de la Revolución will host the main ceremony for National Rebellion Day for

00:09:17the third time,

00:09:18as it also serves for the venue for these celebrations in Cuba in the year 2000 and 2017.

00:09:25The President of Cuba visited several economic and social sites in the province,

00:09:30hosting this important national holiday on Saturday, just hours before commemorating the 73rd anniversary

00:09:36of the attacks of the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Césped Barracks.

00:09:41The First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Party and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez,

00:09:47visited several economic and social sites in Pinar de Río this Saturday.

00:09:51The province has won the bid to host the activities for the 73rd anniversary of the attacks of the Moncada

00:09:58and Carlos Manuel de Césped Barracks.

00:10:01Let's continue looking at the images of the celebrations currently going on.

00:10:21.

00:10:502roux

00:11:51The supreme sacrifice of life belongs to the province of Pinar del Rio.

00:12:00Today it belongs, Pinar del Rio belongs to Havana and to Cuba.

00:12:09Today Pinar del Rio, I would dare to say, belongs also to the world.

00:13:36The Diversion

00:13:37Llegó el comandante

00:13:38Y mandó a parar

00:13:40¡Se acabó la diversión!

00:13:42Llegó el comandante

00:13:44Y mandó a parar

00:14:06Aquí pensaban seguir, diciendo que los cuadreros, por aquí los bandoleros,

00:14:15asolaban al país, y seguir de modo fue, con la infamia por escudo,

00:14:23difamando a los barbudos, y en eso llegó Fidel.

00:14:28¡Se acabó la diversión! ¡Llegó el comandante y mandó a Paraguay!

00:14:33¡Se acabó la diversión! ¡Llegó el comandante y mandó a Paraguay!

00:14:39Aquí pensaban seguir, jugando a la democracia, y el pueblo que su desgracia,

00:14:47se acabara de morir, y seguir de modo cruel, sin cuidarse ni las normas,

00:14:55como el rombo, como norma, y en eso llegó Fidel.

00:15:00¡Se acabó la diversión! ¡Llegó el comandante y mandó a Paraguay!

00:15:06¡Se acabó la diversión! ¡Llegó el comandante y mandó a Paraguay!

00:15:11¡Se acabó la diversión! ¡Llegó el comandante y mandó a Paraguay!

00:15:40¡Llegó el comandante y mandó a Paraguay!

00:15:54We are here, living and throwing it to the ground.

00:15:57Parece que el ciclón ya se fue.

00:15:59Y ya se pueden ver las estrellas.

00:16:02Parece que la vida cambió.

00:16:05Lo he visto con un espíritu distinto, de combatividad,

00:16:09aportando, ayudándose unos a los otros,

00:16:12agradeciendo y es correcto eso también,

00:20:15Comrades, Comrade Miguel Diaz-Canel-Bermuda, First Secretary of the Communist Party and

00:20:22the President of the Republic, Comrades of the Presidency, Guests, dear Pina de Río people.

00:20:32Today we surrender dignity for the mortars that died during the attacks of Carlos Manuel

00:20:40de Céspedes.

00:20:41With their struggle, like Martí, they vindicated the history of Cuba and we will keep vindicated

00:20:49for the rest of our history.

00:20:51For the heroes of Moncada, more than 40 were from Pina de Río.

00:20:56Three of them died in combat and other three of them were mercilessly murdered by the dictatorship

00:21:05of Fulgencio Batista after the assault.

00:21:08Exactly five decades ago, in the year 1976, the moment where our province was for the first

00:21:18time the host of this celebration, the commander valuing the participation of the people of

00:21:27Pina de Río in the struggle against the tyranny said, this province gave one of the best contingents

00:21:35for the start of the armed struggle, like Artemisa, Guanajay and the city of Pina de Río.

00:21:51Seems like we're having some communications issues, but let's recall we're looking at the

00:21:56celebrations that are being host currently in Pina de Río province in Cuba for the 76th anniversary

00:22:02of the attack against the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Céspedes barracks, which was presided

00:22:08over by the commander of the revolution Fidel Castro Cruz in 1956.

00:22:16Now the city of Pina de Río, it has been 50 years since the first July 26 celebration

00:22:21in Pina de Río and this is the first time the province has been designated as the host

00:22:26for the July 26 celebration. This July 26, Pina de Río's Plaza de la Revolución will

00:22:31host the main ceremony for National Rebellion Day for the third time, as it also served as

00:22:38a venue for the celebrations in Cuba in the year 2000 and 2017.

00:22:44The president visited several economic and social sites in the province hosting this important

00:22:49national holiday on Saturday, just hours before commemorating the 73rd anniversary of the

00:22:56attacks on the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Céspedes barracks.

00:22:59The first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the president of the

00:23:04Republic, Díaz-Canel, is currently in the celebration and he visited several economic and social sites

00:23:11in Pina de Río this Saturday. We'll go back with Yamile Ramos from Pina de Río.

00:23:22I want my whole country, I love my whole country profoundly, but I especially love this province.

00:23:28Here is where Maceo had his last fights next to the people from the east that accompanied him

00:23:37in the invasion. Here, through San Andrés, I say goodbye to Che Guevara before leaving for Bolivia.

00:23:46This is where my mother was born and when the baseball team wins, I enjoy it like all of you.

00:24:00People from Pina de Río. In this land, every day, we can see the S4 multiplied to assure the efficiency.

00:24:11Even now, with all the troubles that we're going through,

00:24:20We can see everything that defines the efforts of the people that are holding this history.

00:24:29Our workers, farmers, professionals, creators, technicians, sportsmen, students and combatants.

00:24:38This reconnaissance is noble humild and has been a great show before the difficulties

00:24:51in the midst of the energetic contingencies after the blockade.

00:24:58Any moment you talk about Pina de Río, you're always going to remember

00:25:01the years after the hurricane Ian in the year 2022.

00:25:10And these people rose again with the same fury.

00:25:16And we managed the recovery of hundreds of housing that were lost afterwards.

00:25:22And managed to keep going.

00:25:26We have been able to construct 7,000 new homes when it comes to agriculture and other sectors.

00:25:34We are working in over 1,000 photovoltaic equipment for the crops.

00:25:45We need to give it to the province for the men and women that have worked very hard

00:25:53to put these four photovoltaic parks with a capacity of 87 MW in the territory.

00:26:03For those moving forward in the energy transition,

00:26:06the communication sector is key, as so is agriculture and healthcare,

00:26:13the agricultural industry services for the population.

00:26:18The merit is for those that have been able to participate in the construction of the children's homes,

00:26:27for the ones that keep going with the indicators of education quality,

00:26:33for all the units that keep going against all adversity,

00:26:38with over 1,700 licensed students from over 30 careers,

00:26:47and keep working on the political and social and economic issues of the territory.

00:26:53When it comes to public health, we can see the reconnaissance of this sector.

00:27:00the Pena de Río has a mortality rate and a shallow mortality rate very low.

00:27:07Several municipalities have managed to keep in zero the mortality rate,

00:27:13the shallow mortality rate, for a long period.

00:27:20The hope of living is of a 78-year-old,

00:27:26and the international medical community. This is part of only 38 countries.

00:27:33Also, it is worth noting,

00:27:36it is worth noting the people from other sectors,

00:27:41the solidarity that have been able to retrieve these services for hospitals and healthcare facilities.

00:27:52Before the challenging scenario that we are facing, people from Pena de Río were not crossing our arms.

00:27:59In spite of the difficulties, when the agricultural sector keeps growing,

00:28:07the crops keep...

00:28:09We haven't been able to fulfill the demand yet, but we are going to keep working to achieve that.

00:28:18with everything we can count in the province. 70% of the production of the national tobacco production is done

00:28:27in the Vegas of the territory.

00:28:31We have to keep struggling to improve the ways of living of the workers and their families.

00:28:39those who try to give their lives to the slaves to improve the production.

00:28:46With the revenue from the tobacco industry, we can put forward more money for agriculture,

00:28:57for the recovery of housing of those workers.

00:29:01And we can focus on social services and vital services for the population.

00:29:09It is also significant the production of rice, one of the crops that distinguish the province of Pena de Río,

00:29:18one of the cereal-producing provinces.

00:29:21When it comes to sports, the relevance of Jalonic Perez and the World Championship of Atletismo and a gold medal,

00:29:36and the fifth gold medal of Mijail López in the latest Olympics,

00:29:46like our land has always been.

00:29:54Our acknowledgement for the owner for the national armed forces combatants and the Ministry of the Interior,

00:30:05that in their duty they have shared every effort and every task of these people.

00:30:15Our compatriots, our infinite admiration to all of you, to those who get up every day to fight,

00:30:23to look for alternatives, to break the siege, and to keep going.

00:30:29The promise of the Moncada keeps showing us that there is no obstacle that can stop a people that is

00:30:36decided to defend their independence.

00:30:39Facing the imperial threat, facing the blockade, will respond with more work.

00:30:50As for the amnesty, we will respond with the justice.

00:30:56In this year of the centenary of the birth of Commander Fidel Castro,

00:31:01we have to multiply his work, his ideas, his teachings, his example, in every front of the revolution.

00:31:09Eternal glory to the heroes of the homeland.

00:31:13The homeland of death, we will triumph.

00:31:34We will triumph.

00:31:36Viva!

00:31:38Not the Revolution!

00:31:41Viva!

00:31:42Not the Revolution!

00:31:44Not NATO!

00:31:46Not NATO!

01:03:20shows us not to be afraid of changes, but for those lost our lives and for those who

01:03:26have given their lives, the economic principles have to have the first debates of the social

01:03:36justice.

01:03:37We reaffirmed that Cuba is and will always be a sovereign country, that nobody under

01:03:44no circumstance has a right to choose for us, that the decisions, the economic decisions,

01:03:50political and social decisions are and will be ours.

01:03:56This 2026 has special meaning, and not only for Cubans.

01:04:04The year of the Centenary of Commander Fidel Castro Cruz, soon revolutionary friends

01:04:16from all five continents with their own resources and willing to share what they have been able,

01:04:24they have wanted to participate in this act of solidarity for the 100 years of Fidel.

01:04:34Those are going to be days to debate his ideas, to evaluate the international situation and

01:04:41the role of the Kiev revolution in one of the most difficult moments of its history.

01:04:48It is also going to be the moment to test ourselves in the moment of the revolutionary practice

01:04:55that is the legacy of the Commander in Chief.

01:04:59In the year of his centenary, we are committed to honor his memory with words and facts, with

01:05:07work, with unity, with dignity and with enough clarity and determination to apply in the shortest

01:05:17time possible these transformations that the times is demanding from us.

01:05:23From the young people, I would like to address them.

01:05:26You are the present and the future.

01:05:30You are the heirs of Abel Santa Maria, of Milta and Aide, and of all of that generation,

01:05:38the centenary generation of the generation.

01:05:41You are the young people of the centenary of Fidel.

01:05:44You are called to lead from every neighborhood and from every piece of the land.

01:05:52Participate and transform for the well-being of all of us like one day the other generation did.

01:06:01José Martí said, only one strength a country needs, not to destrust their own strength.

01:06:09Compatriots, the call now is for action, to not wait, to not feel sorry, to think like country,

01:06:21to look for alternatives with audacity and creativity, to support every resource like is the most important,

01:06:30to produce, to substitute importations, to develop our potential, to trust in our own strength,

01:06:37that each Cuban in their own workplace, in their field, in their workshop, in their school, in their neighborhood,

01:06:46be and is the lead character in this transformation that we owe each other to push forward from this difficult

01:06:55moment.

01:06:55The call today is for hope.

01:06:58Like that morning of Santa Ana that we face incredible challenges with the same optimism and with the conviction of

01:07:12victory.

01:07:13Humans today are also triumph.

01:07:16And this July 26th, we reaffirmed our commitment to the homeland, to the revolution, with the concourse of socialism

01:07:27and with the task of rising the task after six decades of blockade, reinforced until it became a genocidal plan,
