Relatives of the fallen;
Distinguished guests who honor us with their presence;
Spirituans and spirituans;
Compatriots:
In this commemoration, as it has always been, Fidel's first thought! His words, spoken exactly 41 years ago today, are increasingly relevant, I quote:
"In only one thing we are the same as July 26, 1953: the same faith in the destiny of the country, the same confidence in the virtues of our people, the same security in victory, the same ability to dream of everything that They will be realities of tomorrow above the dreams already realized of yesterday.”
And something even more important: the fidelity of our people to the ideas for which the Commander in Chief went to Moncada and fought throughout his life remains firm and unalterable; the decision to continue making them a reality and to keep forever alive the spirit of resistance, combativeness, dialectical thinking and faith in victory that he knew how to instill in us, in the first place, with his example.
