Solidarity with Cuba in its struggle for the end of the U.S. blockade manifested itself again today in many parts of the planet to demand the end of such policy, which is rejected by the international community.
In appreciation of those gestures, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel expressed on his Twitter account that "so many demonstrations of solidarity with Cuba and condemnation of the economic blockade, which seeks, unsuccessfully, to break our people, are moving and encouraging. Our gratitude to our friends and compatriots abroad who demand a better world without a blockade".
Violence denounced in the U.S. against activists in solidarity with Cuba
In the same social network, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez stated that it is "impossible to silence so many voices in the world that support our just claim to live better without a blockade and pointed out that "solidarity organizations, friends and Cubans are mobilized to denounce that abusive and criminal policy that suffocates and punishes an entire people".
As usual, on the last Sunday of each month, caravans and other actions are held to denounce the effects of the economic, commercial and financial war against Cuba, aggravated by Washington's arbitrary inclusion of Cuba in a list of nations that allegedly promote terrorism.
In U.S. cities such as Miami, Seattle, New York and Minneapolis, emigrants from the island and people of good will attended demonstrations to demand the removal of the Caribbean nation from the list.
Peaceful demonstrators in Miami were harassed by individuals with obscene gestures and shouts of "terrorists", denounced Cuban American professor Carlos Lazo, promoter of the Bridges of Love platform, who described the aggressors as "haters" who want to "bring the Cuban people to their knees".
In Caracas, Cubans from the diplomatic mission, aid workers and the Association of Residents in Venezuela (Accreven) joined the world campaign against the US blockade.
The president of Accreven in the Capital District, Daniel Alberto Acosta, told Prensa Latina that the Association is a project that arose from the idea of the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, to work for the union of the nation and its emigrants.
Meanwhile, in the city of Santo Domingo, Dominicans and Cubans in solidarity carried out a caravan through avenues of the capital and the coordinator of the Dominican Campaign of Solidarity with Cuba, Roberto Payano, intervened at the end of the tour and called for lifting the siege imposed by the United States and eliminating the Caribbean nation from the unilateral list of terrorist countries.
For their part, Panamanians and Cuban residents in the Isthmian country joined this worldwide campaign and with messages on social networks, and in that sense, members of the National Solidarity Coordinating Committee and the Martiana Association of Cubans Residing in Panama condemned Washington's hostile policy.
Cuba better without blockade, was one of the phrases that went viral in the messages of the groups that also demanded the cessation of Washington's unilateral measures to try to suffocate the largest of the Antilles in the economic, commercial and financial spheres.
From Montevideo, the Uruguayan Anti-imperialist Committee of Solidarity with Cuba and the Peoples of the World reaffirmed in a communiqué its rejection of what it described as a criminal blockade, which has been intensifying, as occurred during the Covid-19 pandemic, and is part of the arsenal of aggressions that includes invasions and attacks against the Caribbean island.
