Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel condemned the energy blockade imposed by Washington during a message regarding the anniversary of the Ministry of the Interior and in homage to the 95th birthday of the historic leader Raúl Castro.

At the political and cultural event held at the Karl Marx Theater, the head of state highlighted the importance of Army General Raúl Castro Ruz in the founding of Cuban security services.

Díaz-Canel highlighted the revolutionary leader’s clear vision in signing, at just 27 years old, the order to create the Secret Service Corps in the Second Eastern Front, the foundation of the current Minint on June 6, 1961.

The president described Raúl Castro as a statesman of international stature, promoter of the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace, and recalled his fundamental role as a mediator in the Colombian peace dialogues, as well as his facilitation in the historic meeting between the leaders of the Catholic and Russian Orthodox churches.
