Fidel Castro: A Shining Example Forever
11/25/2021
The World Federation of Trade Unions, on behalf of its 105 million members who live and fight in 133 countries of the world, pays tribute to the memory of Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz, on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of his physical departure on November 25, 2016.
The great revolutionary Fidel Castro began the armed struggle against the dictator Batista with the assault on the Moncada barracks; was the mind and organizer of the armed uprising of the Cuban people, which began together with Ernesto Che Guevara, Camilo Cienfuegos, Raúl Castro and other great fighters, from the set sail of the legendary yacht Granma and the first battles from Sierra Maestra, until the day in that he entered Havana victoriously with his companions and was appointed Prime Minister of the revolutionary government.
Head of socialist Cuba for almost 50 years, Fidel served with all his might in the defense of his homeland and the Cuban people, which culminated in the repudiation of the Playa Girón invasion and the defeat of the US forces. He served the development of socialism and its great conquests for the workers and the people.
Under his leadership, Cuba offered enormous internationalist support to the peoples of Algeria, Syria, Angola, Ethiopia and elsewhere, where thousands of Cubans fought alongside the peoples for independence and the end of apartheid. Tens of thousands of Cuban doctors, professors and scientists participated in missions and helped the peoples of Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean, while tens of thousands of students from third world countries studied with scholarships at universities established in Cuba.
Fidel’s life and action will continue through the love of the workers and people of Cuba for the revolution and its achievements; through his daily struggle to preserve the working-class character of his state; through his enormous achievements in confronting the pandemic in contrast to his confrontation in capitalist countries and through the internationalist help of Cuban scientists to dozens of other countries; through resistance to the US criminal blockade and efforts to destabilize Cuba by imperialist forces.
The world class trade union movement, the WFTU, will always be at the side of the heroic CTC Cuba and the Cuban people. We will always honor and spread the story and action of Fidel Castro, so that workers around the world can learn from his example. So that they know that the Peoples are invincible when they are determined and that socialism is the answer to barbarism capitalist.
FIDEL LIVES AND THE FIGHT CONTINUES!
He was, is and will continue to be a shining example forever.
THE SECRETARIAT
