Unhappy, they cannot stand the nine o&#8217;clock applause for our doctors; they do not know what kindness means; they ignore our daring; they cannot understand our resolve. Poor them, they dream of battles erupting, and do not see the many battles underway, the thousands of Moncadas<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dawn is coming; a new assault is approaching: daily life on the island presents 1001 assaults; 1001 Moncadas. It all began one Sunday &#8211; July 26 &#8211; in Santiago; an assault on the garrison where &#8220;powerful dominant forces&#8221; were sleeping, and were surprised by Cuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That day of that year, the fight began. It was &#8220;the first assault on one of the many fortresses that were to be taken.&#8221; As the young lawyer who led the rebellion said. Inexperience, ignorance, underdevelopment, lack of resources, were all &#8220;Moncadas to be taken.&#8221; Fidel spoke of another bad aftertaste to eliminate: &#8220;old ideas, self-interest; the most difficult Moncada to take.&#8221; A warning that is heard in our days, in another voice: the voice of a man &#8211; also clear, lucid as well, forever young; he carries the dreams of the homeland in his eyes, and the white of peace in his hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this complex, challenging world,&#8221; the man said, &#8220;There are risks; and not changing, not transforming&#8221; would be &#8220;the worst&#8221; of all the risks, he warned, and invites us to avoid these dangers. Once again, challenges are pressing: more food, overcoming obstacles, exporting, &#8220;doing things right.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Legions of Cubans in the field. This is the option. To mine the soil with seeds, to water it with sweat, to frustrate those attempting to asphyxiate us; in short, another Moncada, daily, urgent, necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let us charge ahead, cast our lot, raise our shields. There are bullets coming from all sides; satanic hatreds, imperial grudges, opportunism and selective amnesia.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are plenty of mercenary rats. Unhappy, they cannot stand the nine o&#8217;clock applause for our doctors; they do not know what kindness means; they ignore our daring; they cannot understand our resolve. Poor them, they dream of battles erupting, and do not see the many battles underway, the thousands of Moncadas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">source: <a href=\"http:\/\/en.granma.cu\/cuba\/2020-07-23\/another-moncada-everyday-urgent-necessary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Granma<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are plenty of mercenary rats.
