The staff of the Cuban Embassy in the United States has joined the “My Signature for the Homeland” / “Mi firma por la Patria” movement, which demonstrates the Cuban people’s commitment to peace and their right to defend themselves against any attempt at aggression.
“With our signatures, we will reaffirm our unwavering commitment to peace, which is the essence of the Cuban nation,” said the Deputy Chief of Mission of Cuba, Ambassador Tanieris Diéguez, after everyone sang the National Anthem and began signing the document at the embassy in Washington.
“We are men and women who love peace, defenders of solidarity and humanism,” Diéguez emphasized.
On April 16, during the celebration of the 65th anniversary of the proclamation of the Socialist character of the Cuban Revolution, President Miguel Díaz-Canel convened this national and international initiative of denunciation and solidarity from Havana.
Defending ourselves — the document emphasized — is not only a right, but, as enshrined in our Constitution, the greatest honor and supreme duty of every Cuban.
The text also called for condemning the United States’ blockade and economic war against Cuba, which it described as an act of genocide; and for repudiating the policies of hatred and the continuous threats of military aggression against the island nation.
Ambassador Lianys Torres, head of the Cuban Mission, was the first, along with the rest of the embassy leadership, to sign the declaration in support of the homeland.
