#PeoplesHistory | Two years ago, Cuba experienced one of the most serious and coordinated destabilization campaigns against it in recent history. Right-wing sectors supported by US politicians, think tanks, and armed with an international social media strategy, attempted to exploit the discontent created by the tightening of the blockade to push for the overthrow of the Cuban revolutionary government.
Cuban President Miguel Díaz Canel immediately took to the streets to engage in dialogue with the communities that had participated in the protests and listen to their grievances. In cities and towns across the country, people were on the streets to show their support behind the Cuban revolution and to reject the imperialist attacks.

Following the talks in Vilnius on Monday, Ulf Kristersson said that it was a good day for Sweden, to which the Communist Party (K) in Sweden responded, “It is a dark day for all friends of peace, who do not want to be part of the US war alliance, it is now time to strengthen the resistance against NATO.”

Heads of state from CELAC and the EU blocs are set to meet in Brussels next week for the III CELAC-EU Summit, the first in eight years.
However, Latin American authorities and civil society organizations have begun to raise the alarm over the conduct of the EU with regards to the format and content of the discussions, as well as the posture of the EU towards Latin America.
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez said in an official statement: “Our region has changed. CELAC is the solid and united voice of Latin America and the Caribbean and must be respected. Those who try to impose a biased and Europeanist vision on the bi-regional relationship, pretending to ignore the priorities and interests of our region, will have no chance of success in Brussels.”
