Founds Cuban Communist Party, named First Secretary.

In 1965, Fidel Castro formally founded the Cuban Communist Party, uniting various revolutionary factions under one political banner. This move marked a significant institutional shift, solidifying the revolution's ideological foundation and establishing a centralized structure for governing Cuba. Castro, already the country's prime minister and the undisputed leader of the revolution, was named the First Secretary of the Party—its highest position. This title affirmed his dominance in Cuban political life and positioned him at the core of every major policy decision, from domestic reforms to international alliances. The creation of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) was a decisive step in transforming the island into a one-party socialist state. Under Castro’s leadership, the PCC became the guiding force of Cuban society, emphasizing Marxist-Leninist principles and aligning closely with the Soviet Union. The party directed all aspects of Cuban life, including the economy, education, healthcare, and media. By becoming its First Secretary, Fidel ensured that the revolutionary ideals he had fought for would be institutionalized and safeguarded against both internal dissent and external pressure. The founding of the PCC represented not just a political reorganization, but the formalization of Cuba’s identity as a socialist republic. \#CubanCommunistParty #FidelCastro #SocialistCuba #MarxismLeninism #PCC1965 #PoliticalLeadership #MomentsOfLife #MoofLife\_Moment #MoofLife
