Díaz-Canel arrives in Russia with Lis Cuesta

With his third official trip to Russia as Cuban ruler, Díaz-Canel continues to deepen the asymmetric and dependent relationship of the Cuban regime to the Moscow oligarchy and its mafia-political-military network.


The Cuban ruler Miguel Diaz-Canel He arrived in Russia this Tuesday on a visit that the Havana regime did not announce in advance and that will serve, according to the Cuban Foreign Ministry, “to address priorities on the bilateral agenda.”

Like his previous international commitment, the ALBA summit held at the end of April in Venezuela, the trip of the also first secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) was announced without any advance notice.

However, unlike the Caracas meeting, Díaz-Canel went to Moscow this Tuesday accompanied by his wife, the official Lis Cuesta Peraza, who continues to hold an institutional representation of “first lady”, of which the ruler himself was in charge of stripping her.

The agenda of the tenant of the Palace of the Revolution includes a meeting with the Russian ruler Vladimir Putin -who takes office for a fourth term after winning the electoral farce celebrated in mid-March - and will last until Thursday, May 9, the date on which the Caribbean ally will celebrate the "79th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War."

Responding to the call of the Kremlin, or what the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MINREX) calls in its statement “an invitation extended by his Russian counterpart,” Díaz-Canel boarded Il 96 of Cubana de Aviación again with Lis (a) Cuesta(s) and an extensive entourage that includes the chancellor. Bruno Rodriguez Grill.

In addition, the head of the Department of International Relations of the Central Committee of the PCC attended the meeting, Emilio Rodríguez Losada, the first vice minister of Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment (MINCEX), Oscar Pérez-Oliva Fraga, the ambassador accredited to Moscow, Julio Garmendia Peña, and other officials of the Cuban Foreign Ministry.

The visit coincides with the holding, on May 8 in Moscow, of a meeting of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), of which Cuba holds the status of observed Stater since December 11, 2020.

This will be the first time that the ruler appointed by the dictator Raul Castro participate in person in the Supreme Council of the organization, to which the Cuban government would be willing to give up land for 50 years in the Special Development Zone (ZED) of Mariel.

On Thursday, Díaz-Canel will attend the military parade and other commemorative activities of the patriotic date that Russia now celebrates exclusively with its allies, leaving behind the times when the Red Square rostrum welcomed the leaders of Western democracies, now embroiled in helping Ukraine repel Russian aggression and recover occupied territory.

Against the backdrop of an intensification of Russian bombings and missile attacks, Putin's criminal actions will be applauded by his Havana accomplice, who was already in charge of celebrating his arrival to power in elections that will extend his rule until 2030.

On his third official trip to Russia as Cuban ruler, Díaz-Canel continues to deepen the asymmetric and dependent relationship of the Cuban regime to the Moscow oligarchy and its mafia-political-military network..

With his genuflected disposition, the leader of the so-called “continuity” will continue to subject the nation to dishonor and complicity with the Russian imperialist power, and trample once again on the dignity and sovereignty of the Cuban people, in exchange for strategic crumbs so that the dictatorial leadership remains in power.
