Manuel Marrero: "There will be a Cuban revolution for a long time"

After the scare on Wednesday, July 31, in Tehran, where he had traveled to attend the inauguration of Iran's president, Masud Pezeshkian, Cuba's Prime Minister, Manuel Marrero Cruz, continued his international tour and landed in Angola with fear tightening his throat more than his tie.

Perhaps for that reason, as soon as he arrived in Luanda, the prime minister of the Cuban regime felt the need to shout that “there will be a Cuban revolution for a long time to come,” recalling the ephemeral nature of life after the blow dealt in Tehran to the leader of the terrorist organization Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, who now roams Yanna hand in hand with his corresponding 72 virgins.

Although this last image may have drawn the thoughts of Marrero Cruz during his flight from Tehran to Luanda, the "short-range" projectile that closed the book of Haniyeh's life rekindled the revolutionary fervor that characterizes the "continuity" and made him focus on the mystery of the "achievements," from where he drew inspiration for his latest statements.

"Despite everything that has been done, the people still do not perceive the results, but it is a necessary process," said the Cuban prime minister before the diplomatic staff of his embassy, accompanied by a representation of the more than 1,700 collaborators (or island ilotas) that the regime has assigned to Angola.

They are there, but the people do not see them. The "results" of the "process of implementing the government's projections to correct distortions and revitalize the economy" are there. Where? There, there. The thing is that, like all subtle matter, the "results" are wrapped in the gaseous cloud of "the complexities facing the country" and "the effects of the blockade imposed by the United States."

"We are convinced that we will move forward and find solutions. And we will preserve, above all things, the Revolution. There will be a Cuban Revolution for a long time. We will defend it with our own lives, and we will not rest until we achieve greater prosperity for our people," said Marrero Cruz, according to the official organ of the PCC.

Unable to get the "short-range" projectile and the 72 virgins out of his head, the Prime Minister recalled Fidel and "his extraordinary ability to go to the future and come back to tell us." According to Granma, in his effort to keep the thought and work of the Anacronópete in Chief alive, the "continuity" of Miguel Díaz-Canel has also inherited the commitment to "help Angola recover."

"For almost two hours, there was discussion about commitment, unwavering dedication, from the sad days of the struggle against apartheid, about challenges, the will to overcome them, and, above all, about love for Cuba, which has become an ambassador of solidarity," reported the state media.

Between the nostalgia for Don Sindulfo and the traumatic memory of the "short-range" projectile, the prime minister's mind wandered between the zalá for Haniyeh and the "salación" of Díaz-Canel, unable to find another epic phrase than the one uttered. "There will be a Cuban revolution for a while"... And there will also be mysterious "achievements," those that perpetuate them in power, with the help of Allah and... God willing, from Venezuela.
