Videos of officials and activists from the Cuban regime declaring their support for the campaign "My Signature for the Homeland" have become targets of massive mockery on social media, where thousands of Cubans respond with irony and sarcasm to the mobilization organized by the Cuban Communist Party.
The campaign was launched on April 19 by Yuniasky Crespo Baquero, head of the Ideological Department of the Central Committee of the PCC, during the V International Colloquium Homeland, and aims to gather signatures in support of the Revolutionary Government's Declaration "Girón is today and always," issued in the context of the 65th anniversary of the Battle of Playa Girón.
Among the prominent faces of the initiative is the state journalist Leticia Creach Andreu, who stated in a video: "This is my contribution to our revolution, to uphold our sovereignty, our independence, and much more in these times."
A video of Donaisy Inirarity Jiménez, the secretary of the Young Communist Union in Colón, Matanzas, also circulated, in which she stated that "defending the homeland is today the greatest honor" that young Cubans have.
The popular reaction was swift. The comments on both posts garnered thousands of views and reflect the deep skepticism with which a significant portion of the population receives these mobilizations.
One of the most supported phrases was: "THEY ARE FUGITIVES OF FOLIC ACID!!! That's the name of the movie," in direct reference to the effects left on the brain by the lack of this supplement taken by pregnant women.
Other comments pointed to the chronic blackouts that the island suffers: "For every signature, it's 10 more hours of blackout." Food scarcity was also a key issue: "Everyone who signed got a little bread ball for next month."
Some questioned the very usefulness of the gesture: "My only question is to know where those papers are going."
There were those who recalled the precedent from September 2025, when the regime organized a similar campaign in support of Nicolás Maduro: "That's how they collected signatures for Venezuela and boom."
Another comment, with an ironic warning tone, noted: "They are making the list themselves, how nice."
The campaign, officially presented as a spontaneous movement of civil society, was actually organized and directed by the PCC, with signature books opened in communities, workplaces, and educational centers across the country.
Díaz-Canel was the first to sign on April 20 from Playa Girón, declaring that "the Cuban Revolution will never negotiate its principles."
