Diaz-Canel Leads Cuban Delegation to Sandinist Revolution Festivity

Imagen activaHavana, Jul 18 (Prensa Latina) Cuban First Vice President, Miguel Diaz-Canel, heads the Cuban delegation that will participate tomorrow, along to the Nicaraguan government and people, in the celebrations for the 36th anniversary of the triumph of the Sandinista Revolution.
A press release, spread here today, states that the Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment Minister, Rodrigo Malmierca Diaz, the Deputy Foreign Minister, Ana Teresita Gonzalez Fraga and Cuban Ambassador in that country, Eduardo Martinez Borbonet, make the delegation of the Caribbean island.

'On this occasion, have been specially invited to the commemoration the Cuban Five Heroes (Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez and Rene Gonzalez), who will also visit that sister nation, "stated the note.

After years of armed struggle, on July 19, 1979, the National Sandinista Liberation Front (FSLN), with Daniel Ortega commander, defeated the dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza and initiated a revolutionary process in that country, at a halt in 1990.

After 16 years of neoliberal governments, the FSLN won the general elections in 2006 and from 2007, with the Government of Reconciliation and National Unity, headed by Ortega and Rosario Murillo, develops a social project to eliminate poverty and to end inequality in that country.
