At a time when once again the enemies of the Cuban revolution attack and the United States intensifies the unjust economic, commercial and financial blockade against Cuba, we Cubans continue to resist and the Cienfuegueros Customs reiterate our support for the country's highest leadership. Friends and enemies wonder how it is possible that, faced with so many difficulties, the Cuban people continue to support the revolution. Many do not understand how in this world today there is a small country that resists the greatest empire on the planet and pays the price of dignity hard every day. The essence of the answer is the work of the revolution and its relationship with the people. Counting on the people, that the people be the architect of the great decisions of the country at all times, tell the truth to the people, share with the people the daily struggle and the search for solutions to problems. Without the work of the people, it would not have been possible to survive, resist and develop. This is not a new idea, it is the idea that has prevailed since the triumph of the revolution, it is the one that has kept the fight against the enemy alive. An example of this are some fragments of the speech of Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz on February 24, 1960, just one year after the triumph of the revolution, which are in force today. Fragments of Fidel's speech on February 24, 1960 “A revolution is not a simple event in the history of a people. A revolution is a complex and difficult event that also has the virtue of being a great teacher, because it teaches us as we go along, and along the way it strengthens the consciousness of the people, and along the way it teaches us what it is. A revolution.
