Only the Communist Party, as the institution that brings together the revolutionary vanguard and will always guarantee the unity of Cubans, can be the worthy heir of the trust deposited by the people in their leader.

In Cuba we have one party, but in the U.S. there is very little difference. Both parties are an expression of the ruling class.

In Cuba, taking into account the long fight for our independence and sovereignty, we will defend the one-party system in the face of the games, demagogy and the marketing of politics.

No country is 100 percent free of human rights abuses.

I hope Mr. Obama has success.
