Central Report To The
6th Congress of the Communist Party of Cuba
Apr
16th, 2011
By: Raúl Castro Ruz
MESSAGE FROM THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CUBA TO
FRIENDLY POLITICAL AND SOCIAL FORCES
Between April 16 and 19, the Communist Party
of Cuba will celebrate its Seventh Congress with the main targets of evaluating
the fulfillment of the Guidelines of the Economic and Social Policy approved at
the Sixth Congress. The country’s development strategy up to 2030 and the
conceptualization of the Cuban economic and social model will also be discussed
and approved.
The Congress will be held in an international
climate marked by the world crisis and the sharpening of the global
geopolitical contradictions, at a time when the imperialist and rightist
counteroffensive against the revolutionary, democratic and liberating processes
of the continent and against the integrationist efforts in the area intensifies
in the Latin American context.
In the midst of this context, the Cuban
Revolution maintains its inalterable course. Since 2011 and with the majority
endorsement of the Cuban people takes place the updating of the economic model
destined to build a prosperous and sustainable socialism.
At the same time, since December 2014 there is
an advance in a complex normalization process of relations with the United
States of America that seeks to attain a civilized coexistence with the
government of that country, in accordance with the efforts being made by Cuba
and the rest of Latin America and the Caribbean countries to turn our region
into a Peace Zone, as proclaimed by the Second CELAC Summit in Havana, in
January, 2014.
The Communist Party of Cuba is conscious of
the challenges imposed by this normalization process. We are aware that
important sectors of the United States maintain the purpose of eroding the
bases of the Revolution and overthrowing our political system through the
approach and the direct influence. In this regard, we consider that the visit
of President Barack Obama to Havana confirmed the decision of making
irreversible this new tactic against Cuba.
The normalization of relations with the United
States of America opens a new road in the battle of ideas we have been
fighting, of solidarity against individualism, of inclusion against contempt,
of Monroe’s intentions against the spirit of Martí, of exploitation against
social justice, of neoliberal domination against Latin American sovereignty and
integration.
We have come so far thanks to the unity and
resistance of our people in the face of the military, economic and cultural
power of imperialism, together with the wise leadership of comrades Fidel and
Raúl Castro. Added to this is our fidelity to the principles, the coherence of
our foreign policy and our solidarity with the world’s noble causes.
We must underline that the triumphs of the
Cuban people cannot be separated from the extraordinary international movement
of solidarity that has accompanied us during these years in essential battles
like the one displayed in favor of the liberation of our Five Heroes. We will
be eternally grateful for that solidarity that today, more than ever, we
consider vital.
The Cuban people and its organized vanguard
will keep up the struggle against the economic, commercial and financial
blockade of the United States of America. We will not rest until we see our
flag raised in the territory that is illegally occupied by the U.S. Naval Base
in Guantánamo Bay. We will continue denouncing the meddling plans and the
financing of counterrevolutionary groups in Cuba, as well as the illegal radio
and television broadcasts that violate our sovereignty, paid with public funds
by the U.S. Government.
As recently expressed by the historical leader of the Cuban Revolution, Commander in Chief Fidel Castro, our noble and self-sacrificed people will not renounce to the glory, the rights or the spiritual wealth obtained with the development of education, science and culture. We do not need –nor will us need– any gift from the empire. We shall maintain our commitment with peace and fraternity, and we will always continue faithful to our history.
