Since October 28, Cuba is hosting an international congress of communist and workers’ parties, whose delegates were received the day before by President Miguel Díaz-Canel, who ratified the island’s commitment to the socialist model.
“The future must belong to socialism, capitalism has shown nothing in terms of the protection and emancipation of human beings. This is what we talked about yesterday [October 27] with the brothers in war who are in Cuba to attend the XXII International Meeting of the Communist and Workers’ Parties,” Diaz-Canel wrote on Twitter.

The event, recently inaugurated in this capital, welcomes 142 delegates from 57 countries and 73 communist and labor parties, and its organizers aspire to generate enlightening debates in the face of current global challenges.
In fact, Díaz-Canel estimated in his meeting with the participants that the congress will promote the drafting of strategies of unity among all the political forces of the left, to face “all the capitalist politics that bring so much evil to this world”.
Cubans approved in 2019, with 86.85% of votes in favor, a new Constitution that ratifies the Communist Party as the leading force of society and communism as an aspiration, although it recognizes different forms of ownership that coexist with the state.
