Hugo Chavez is a true commander for his people, ready to respond to arrogant empire’s constant threats against the national unity of Venezuela: Cuba's Vise-President Machado Ventura. July 27, 2010 (Hamsayeh.Net) - Cuba celebrated its 57th anniversary of the beginning of revolution by the assault on the Moncada and Carlos Manuel Cespedes garrisons, yesterday during nationwide ceremonies. In Havana, the Cuban President Raul Castro attended an official ceremony to mark the anniversary. Also, the country’s First Vise-President Jose Ramon Machado Ventura, present at the hall, delivered a speech on this occasion. The Cuban Vise-President expressed his country’s unflinching support for Venezuela in the face of aggression by US-backed Colombian government administration of Alvaro Uribe. ‘Venezuela has every right to defend itself and will have firm support of all Cuban people,’ La Presna Latina quoted Machado Ventura as saying. The Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez due to ongoing tensions between the two neighbors had cancelled his visit to Havana for this ceremony. Machado Ventura called Hugo Chavez as a true commander for his people, ready to respond to arrogant empire’s constant threats against the national unity of Venezuela and warned the US military deployment in Colombia as a major threat to the region. The attacks on Moncada and the Carlos Manuel de Cespedes garrisons under the control of the dictatorial regime of Fulgencio Batista, who served as an American puppet before he fled to Dominican Republic, marked the beginning of the Cuban Revolution six years later on January 1st, 1959. The attacks commanded by Fidel Castro alongside his brother Raul Castro as well as other revolutionaries occurred on July 26, 1953. Several survivors including Fidel and Raul Castro were captured by Batista troops and imprisoned. After nearly two years in prison, the revolutionaries were under a general amnesty and exiled to Mexico, where they planned the next phase of the Revolution.
