The Spanish colonial authorities looked on in astonishment when, on June 11, 1868, during a solemn Te Deum for the Corpus Christi festivities, the combative march that would later become the Cuban National Anthem and a symbol of the struggle for independence was heard in the Bayamo Cathedral.

Three months after planting the slogan "Homeland or Death!" in the hearts of Cuba's revolutionary people, Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz, at the funeral of the victims of the criminal sabotage of the French steamship La Coubre on June 8, 1960, completed it with "We shall win!"

The Cuban Association of the United Nations (ACNU) was founded 79 years ago, on May 30, 1947, by distinguished intellectual, cultural, artistic, labor, and political figures as a non-governmental, non-profit organization interested in learning about and participating in the work of the United Nations (UN).

When discussing the labor movement and the struggles of the unions in Cuba, it is essential to mention Lázaro Peña González, that fighter who was born into a humble Havana home in 1911 and dedicated his life to the Communist Party and to organizing workers to confront injustices.

Together with thousands of Havana residents, representing the people, we attended the Anti-Imperialist Tribune this Friday to reject the attempt by the Donald Trump administration to prosecute the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Raúl Castro, and to condemn the US economic blockade against Cuba.

For 124 years, the United States' intentions toward Cuba have been clear since the proclamation on May 20, 1902, of a puppet republic that mocked the Cuban independence sentiment. What was born was a neocolony of the nascent, turbulent, and brutal Northern empire that despises us.

The National Tax Administration Office (ONAT) and the Comptroller General's Office of the Republic of Cuba (CGRC) signed an agreement in Havana to share computer systems and data of mutual interest. The main objective is to use the INFOGESTI system and the cross-referencing of financial information to detect possible tax fraud or evasion, conduct more effective audits, focus on high-risk areas, promote transparency in the management of public resources, improve accountability to citizens, and avoid duplication of efforts.

The agreement allows the Comptroller's Office and its provincial offices to access tax-related data, which facilitates the preparation, planning, and execution of annual audits of the ONAT, as well as occasional inquiries regarding taxpayers of interest as part of ongoing control actions. Data obtained through artificial intelligence tools and other data analysis algorithms will also be valuable for detecting irregularities relevant to their work. At all times, confidentiality and the legal provisions for personal data protection—regarding data quality, limited use, and information transparency—will be respected. The agreement may be modified by mutual consent or for any other reason recognized under current legislation, and it entered into force upon being signed by the respective heads of both offices.
