Thank you for being from this nation, for the delivery, for teaching us that a better world is possible. #FidelPorSiempre #SomosContinuidad, wrote Diaz-Canel.

The day before, hundreds of young Cubans, along with their president, attended the ‘Siempre Fidel’ gala, held on the emblematic stairway of the University of Havana for the two years of his death where the new generation evoked the Commander in Chief .

During the ceremony, the Second Secretary of the Union of Young Communists (UJC in Spanish), Ronald Hidalgo, said that during the two years of Fidel’s absence, his stature has grown, his ideas have multiplied and his legacy has become more necessary.

‘That unanimous cry of I am Fidel, whose echo still shakes every space on this earth, is not an empty slogan, nor occasional exclamation, it was the irreversible confirmation that in the hearts of millions of Cubans beats the unwavering commitment to always follow his example,’ Hidalgo stressed.

The evening was attended by artists of different manifestations, who joined through songs, verses and dances to remember the imprint of Fidel Castro.
