This August 13, the UJC also wanted to highlight significant moments for every revolutionary, such as receiving the card that accredits them as a member of this organization, but if that happens on a day like today and in a significant place, is even more gratifying, said Yeiser Ramirez Ochoa, economist of the semi-boarding school Antonia Riera, in Cueto.

“Fidel’s life cannot be reduced to a few lines because his strong and indissoluble bond with the people, his brilliant oratory, his constant teaching, his constant and boundless devotion to the cause of the Revolution have left an indelible mark on the Cuban people, and the new generations who love him and remember him at every moment, who also inspires men and women from other latitudes who fight for social justice,” said Yanet Nasser Ramirez, first secretary of the UJC in the municipality of Cueto, in her closing remarks.
