Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel has invoked the sacrifice of Cuban combatants in Venezuela to rally domestic support for the Cuban Revolution. In a social media statement, he asked, 'If 32 Cuban combatants fell in Venezuela defending the president of that nation, what wouldn't millions of Cubans do, with that same example, fighting to save the Revolution and to defend Cuban soil?' The remarks reference a historical deployment of Cuban military personnel to support the government of Nicolás Maduro. This rhetoric underscores the regime's framing of external threats and its call for national unity and defense.
