Mario Díaz-Balart, a seasoned politician who has represented Florida's 26th District in the U.S. Congress since 2003, recently shared his thoughts on two distinct topics via social media. His statements reflected both personal connections and cultural commemorations.
On January 28, 2025, Díaz-Balart expressed his support for Sean Duffy's new role as Secretary of Transportation. In his post, he congratulated Duffy and mentioned their past collaboration on transportation issues in Congress. He emphasized that Duffy will focus on infrastructure improvements: "Congratulations to my dear friend, former colleague, and the new Secretary of Transportation, @SeanDuffyWI! I had the privilege of working with Sean on transportation issues in Congress. He will prioritize rebuilding America’s highways, roads, and bridges."
In another tweet posted later the same day, Díaz-Balart commemorated the 172nd anniversary of José Martí's birth. He paid tribute to Martí as a Cuban patriot and defender of democracy: "En conmemoración del 172º aniversario del natalicio de José Martí, honramos al patriota cubano..." He reiterated this sentiment in English: "In commemoration of the 172nd Anniversary of José Martí’s birth..." Both messages highlighted Martí's dedication to liberty and human rights.
