After the scare on Wednesday, July 31st in Tehran, where he had traveled to attend the inauguration of Iranian President Masud Pezeshkian, Cuban Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz continued his international tour and landed in Angola with fear gripping his throat tighter than his tie. Perhaps that's why, upon arriving in Luanda, the prime minister of the Cuban regime felt the need to proclaim that “the Cuban Revolution will endure for a long time,” reflecting on the fleetingness of life after the short-range missile that ended the life of Ismail Haniyeh, leader of the terrorist organization Hamas, who now roams paradise with his 72 virgins.
Although this image might have occupied Marrero Cruz's thoughts during his flight from Tehran to Luanda, the short-range missile that closed Haniyeh's book of life reignited his revolutionary fervor, which characterizes the “continuity” and inspired his latest declarations.
“Despite all that has been done, the people still do not perceive the results, but it is a necessary process,” said the Cuban Prime Minister to the diplomatic staff at his embassy, accompanied by a representation of the more than 1,700 cooperants (or island helots) that the regime has stationed in 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 reinvigorate the economy” are there. Where? There, there. The “results” remain shrouded 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. The Cuban Revolution will endure 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 shake off thoughts of the short-range missile and the 72 virgins, the prime minister remembered Fidel Castro and “his extraordinary ability to go to the future and come back to tell us about it.” According to Granma, in his effort to keep alive the thoughts and works of the Anachronopete in Chief, the “continuity” of Miguel Díaz-Canel has also inherited the commitment to “help Angola recover.”
“For almost two hours, there was talk of commitment, of unwavering dedication since the sad days of the struggle against apartheid, of challenges, of the will to overcome them, and above all, of love for Cuba, turned into an ambassador of solidarity,” reported the state media.
Amidst nostalgia for Don Sindulfo and the traumatic memory of the short-range missile, the prime minister's mind wandered between the prayer for Haniyeh and Díaz-Canel's “bad luck,” unable to find another epic phrase than the one uttered. “The Cuban Revolution will endure for a long time”… And there will also be mysterious “achievements,” those that perpetuate them in power, with the help of Allah and... God willing, from Venezuela.
