Guantanamo.- Cuban media outlets featured prominently the meeting in Havana between President Miguel Diaz-Canel and Juan Grabois, leader of the Patria Grande party in Argentina.Diaz-Canel received Grabois at the Palace of the Revolution and “recognized the value of this visit in the current context in Cuba,” according to reports of the exchange published in the online editions of Granma and Juventud Rebelde.
“It is a pleasure for us to receive him and to be able to talk,” the president stated, adding that the Argentine political leader’s presence in Havana “is a demonstration of committed solidarity with Cuba, because in these times we are living in, we know what it means to come to Cuba.”
Both texts highlight that the head of State expressed “the desire to continue expanding and strengthening relations with Patria Grande” and to “seek more exchanges, more opportunities throughout the year to exchange ideas and experiences.”
“The dignitary placed special emphasis on the concept of collective responsibility and the need to see ‘how we can coordinate all social movements, progressive people in such difficult times, at the continental and international levels,’” they note.
They also mention that the leader of Patria Grande commented: “I was taught that you see who your friends are in hard times; that in good times we are all together”; and then thanked everyone for the treatment he received upon arriving on the island.
The intellectual, they specify, denounced the danger of brute force and shared his view that the world is experiencing a stage “whose main dilemma is to take the path of dehumanization or the path of rehumanization.”
According to sources, Juan Grabois denounced violations of international law and accused “imperial hegemony” of disrespecting the lives of migrants, the poor, and Palestinian children.
