HAVANA, Cuba.- Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez said the island fights Giron of these times, recalling the victory of April 1961 in Bay of Pigs on a mercenary invasion promoted and sponsored by the United States.

At 58 years of the victory, Cuba fights the Giron of these times with courage and dignity, he wrote in his Twitter account, while emphasizing the legacy of the historical leader of the Revolution, Fidel Castro Ruz, who led the Cuban response to the aggression.

The early morning of April 17, the mercenary invaders arrived at Zapata Swamp, south of the western province of Matanzas, and they were defeated in less than 72 hours.

The trick was to destroy the nascent revolution but the invaders did not count on the correctness of Fidel´s leadership and the response of the people.
