From the report of activities it was highlighted the very rich and broad activity of WFDY and the demanding calendar attended by the HQ, as well as the important steps regarding the communication and media of WFDY, namely by its renewed website the regular bulletin WFDY News.
The discussion on the 17th World Festival of Youth and Students was very deep in the need to keep the anti-imperialist character of the WFYS. The meeting reaffirmed the possibility of still being possible to have a massive, broad based, self-financed, anti-imperialist WFYS in the year of 2010.
From the ambitious plan of action discussed and approved during the GCM, there are three aspects that deserve particular highlight: 1) WFDY Summer Event “We will defeat imperialism!” (Voluntary work brigades and seminars), to take place in July and August, in Cuba, and to which all organizations should do their deepest efforts to mobilize; 2) WFDY campaign against imperialist military bases and occupation armies, to start this August, and which should be creatively implemented by all WFDY members as it will, at the same time, be developed by WFDY internationally; 3) WFDY missions to the hotspots of the World, such as Western Sahara, Palestine and Colombia, among others.
The meeting analyzed and took deep steps on reinforcing the structure of WFDY and its anti-imperialist character, as meeting point of the struggles of the youth of the whole world. Once again, all present organizations affirmed that, despite the difficulties and obstacles, just as 64 years before (when the peoples’ defeated the Nazism and Fascism) it is possible to reach victory and build a world of peace, solidarity and social justice!
In the frame of the meeting all delegates took also part in the 2nd International Solidarity Meeting for the Freedom of 5 Cuban Heroes and, alongside with 200 hundred international delegates more, solidarity was shown for the freedom of these 5 Cuban people that are unfairly kept in jail in USA and against the USA economical blockade on Cuba.
