We will rise to the stature of this young man of 80

Granma Internacional
CONTINUE FORTIFYING UNITY

SANTIAGO DE CUBA.— To mobilize when necessary, to increase revolutionary vigilance and resolutely support everything expressed in the president's Proclamation: these were the accords of the workers at the Hermanos Díaz oil refinery in this city who met in shifts and by departments, plus the decision to continue fortifying unity around the Party, Fidel, Raúl and the government, in defense of socialism and in the face of any enemy aggression.

The 500-plus members of this collective called for increased efficiency in order to supply the assigned volume of the processed product to the economy. This industry, strongly hit by the imperialist blockade from the very beginning, was the object of a pirate machine-gun attack in March 1961 that severely damaged its installations and killed a combatant.

Similar demonstrations of support took place in all provinces of the country. For example, in one tobacco company in Pinar del Río, Josefa Acosta, a Heroine of Work of the Republic of Cuba, exclaimed: “The enemy and its imperialist masters should know that now, more than ever, we are committed to doing everything well, while we await out the rapid reestablishment of our leader and guide.”

In the Héroes del Baire Hospital, in the special municipality of the Isle of Youth, one of its workers, Aníbal González, underscored in a combative speech: “We will not provide an opening for the criminal plans of the enemy nor stop increasing the quality of the programs directed by Fidel,”

“We cannot forget that the Party leads the Revolution; we are firm and dedicated to the defense of what we have achieved with Fidel and Raúl at the helm,” said Míriam García, on behalf of the workers of CONFORMAT, in Matanzas province.

“In each one of us there is and will be a soldier of Fidel,” emphasized Dámaso Rodríguez, a machine operator in Santa Clara.

The bad news is Fidel has lived long enough to suffer old age, the good news is he is being treated by Cuban trained socialist doctors. May God speed.

I wonder if the doctors will give him bionic implants to make him the socialist equivalent of Darth Vader.
