For Cubans on the island, it is hoped there will be a FELIZ ANO 2022 -- A HAPPY New Year!! Of course, it was on January 1, 1959 that the Cuban Revolution -- featuring Fidel Castro and Camilo Cienfuegos -- shocked the world by defeating the U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship. So tomorrow -- January 1, 2022 -- Cubans on the island will celebrate an incredible 63rd ANNIVERSARY of revolutionary rule.
On this last day of 2021, President Miguel Diaz-Canel addressed the Cuban people on nationwide television...and was mostly optimistic.
Speaking in Spanish, President Diaz-Canel's words were also translated on the screen in English. He began by "inviting you all to embark on the path of the new year together."
"Countrymen, the two thousand twenty one ends..." As 2021 ends, President Diaz-Canel today told the Cuban people that the island's two perils -- the blockade and COVID-19 -- will be with us into 2022 and we must continue to face them resolutely.
"...inviting you all to embark on the path of the new year together." When he closed his year-ending message to the Cuban people today, President Diaz-Canel stressed that the people should be united in their twin goals of surviving their common obstacles while also continuing their determined defense of the Revolution.
