On Sunday, December 4th, comrades from the Communist Party of Great Britain – Marxist Leninist (CPGB-ML), the Indian Workers’ Association (IWA), and the Socialist Labour Party (SLP) held a meeting to remember the Cuban Revolutionary, Fidel Castro, and his contribution to the betterment of working people in Cuba and around the world.

Two speakers, Paul (CPGB-ML) and John Tyrrell (SLP), kicked off the meeting by giving insightful talks on the history of Cuba, including the conditions that led to the rise of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), and its achievements. The meeting was then opened up to the floor for contributions from comrades attending the meeting.
