The World Federation of Democratic Youth has been closely following the intense campaign of blackmailing and defamation, particularly in Spain and Miami, against the Cuban Revolution, following the regrettable death of a person with a long history of criminal record now presented as political dissident. The evidences show clearly that it was just mercenary in the pay roll of the Cuban-american mafia, that finances its mercenaries to build an internal opposition.The Cuban Revolution, under the guidance of the commander Fidel Castro, is today, more than ever, a great example to all the youngsters of the world, for its example of dignity and its firm determination to build a free and fair society. It has been victim of a long list of attacks that have brought death to thousands of civilian Cubans and has made a big damage onto the Cuban economy, particularly because of the blockade imposed by the USA. It’s disgusting how the international monopolies of information, specially in Spain and Miami, have manipulated this information, put Cuba in the bench of accused, not knowing the reality, and not recognizing the years of attempts to disrupt the Cuban society.

We are sure that no dirty political manoeuver as the one going on today will bend the struggling spirit of the heroic people of Cuba, specially its youngsters that guided by the example of the Cuban Five Heroes unfairly imprisoned in the USA are now preparing their 9th Congress, out of which we are sure they will come out stronger. USA and Spain have no morale to say anything against Cuba in terms of human rights.

WFDY, on behalf of all its member and friend organizations and all the progressive youth of the world, vehemently condemns the unfair aggression and manipulation of the truth against Cuba. We reject any kind of measure of condemnation that may be taken against Cuba, particularly the European Union Parliament. We demand respect from all those that today manipulate the truth towards the heroic people of Cuba, its history, principles and a clean face in terms of human rights of all the Cuban people. We call upon all youngsters of the world to show in all possible places our solidarity towards the Cuban people, not letting anyone be deceived by the manipulating lies against Cuba.

On the occasion of the International Woman’s Day, particularly in this 100th anniversary, the World Federation of Democratic Youth salutes all women of the globe, especially those who bravely fight against imperialism.
It was 100 years ago that the women of several different countries of the world came together and declared this day to mark their struggle for better working conditions and the end of all sorts of discriminations, for full recognition of their rights as youngsters, workers and human beings.
In a world in which the wars, occupations, environmental destruction, unemployment, precariousness, exploitation, barriers in access to education, culture and sports is a reality for more and more people, women face an even stronger attack of imperialism that, together with everything else, still elects women as target for chauvinistic and discriminative values making life even worse for them, particularly for the working women, whose rights are even further denied.
WFDY calls upon all its member and friend organizations to spread the historical content of this day, as well as the contribution of important of women as Clara Zetkin, Luxembourg Rosa, Dolores Gomez, Winnie Mandela (among many others), to enhance even further the common struggle - of men and women - against the source of all inequalities and injustices in the world: imperialism!

The World Federation of Democratic Youth has received with pain the news about the earthquake in Chile in which there are already more than 300 confirmed mortal victims, and nearly eight thousand harmed - being this the biggest catastrophe felt in the country over the last 30 years - which brings desesperation to the Chilean people, particularly the poorest.The succession of climate events, earthquakes and the reckless and selfish action of the capitalist system against environment, confirm the need to struggle to preserve mankind and protect those with fewer resources as they are the main victims of all these happennings.

WFDY, now preparing the XVII World Festival of Youth and Students for next December, on behalf of its member and friend organizations and all the progressive youth of this world, its most sincere condolences to all the Chilean people and youth, particularly the poorest, in this tough moments that they are living, reaffirming its will to help in all that is necessary and calling upon all young progressive people to express its solidarity towards the people of Salvador Allende, Gladys Marin and thoushands of disappeared during the military dictatorship of Pinochet.
