The Cuban regime once again showcased its propaganda muscle outside the island. This time, it highlighted the publication in several Egyptian media outlets of its official statement "Girón is today and always," a text filled with political slogans and warnings about a supposed scenario of aggression against Cuba.
According to the Cuban Embassy in Cairo, portals such as Al Safir, Arab Telegraph, and other digital sites fully reproduced the document, something that Havana described as a "positive international repercussion."
The statement, originally disseminated by official media such as Granma and Cubadebate, insists on the confrontational rhetoric against the United States and condemns what it describes as a “permanent siege,” accompanied by military threats and economic pressure.
The text also revisits one of the phrases most often repeated by the ruling elite in recent days: "Cuba will never be a trophy, nor another star in the American constellation," in an attempt to reinforce the narrative of sovereignty against Washington.
But beyond the echo in foreign media, the document insists on the same arguments that the regime has maintained for decades: it blames the embargo for the economic crisis, denounces media campaigns against it, and calls for national and international mobilization in defense of socialism.
It even appeals to historical symbols and revolutionary epic, evoking "Mambi blood" and the legacy of Playa Girón as a reference for the present. In that tone, it concludes with a message of total resistance: as long as there are Cubans willing to "give their lives for the Revolution," they assert, the system will prevail.
The coverage in Egyptian media comes at a particularly sensitive time for the island, characterized by blackouts, shortages, and increasing social discontent. However, instead of addressing these realities, the official discourse is once again focused on external enemies and reinforcing the narrative of a besieged fortress.
However, while the government emphasizes the resonance of its message in foreign media, a campaign to collect signatures linked to the same political message is being promoted within the island, amidst a context of strong social and economic tensions.
Thus, while the crisis hits the population inside Cuba, the government tries to project an image of international support and ideological firmness to the outside world that contrasts sharply with the daily lives of millions of Cubans.
