The Migration, Foreigners, and Citizenship laws, which will take effect in November, implement the most profound update of the Cuban migration system in decades. Among their main new features are the removal of the limit on the length of stay in Cuba for residents abroad, the creation of migratory effective residence, new guarantees for economic participation, and a broader legal framework for citizenship and foreigners.
Washington, D.C. – As part of the international commemorations marking the centenary of the birth of Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz, Ambassador Tanieris Diéguez La O, Deputy Chief of Mission of the Embassy of Cuba in the United States, participated in the virtual town hall "Mother Africa's Children Day of Friendship, Good Will and Solidarity with the Cuban People," organized by African American organizations committed to strengthening friendship and solidarity with Cuba.
U.S. Representative Mark Pocan stated that, during a visit to Cuba last week, he was able to directly witness the serious difficulties faced by the population. According to his account, he found “a nation without electricity or basic necessities” as a result of the blockade imposed by the United States.
His remarks once again bring attention to the impact of economic sanctions on the daily lives of millions of Cubans, particularly in essential sectors such as energy, food, and other basic services.
As part of a working visit to the San Francisco Bay Area, the Deputy Chief of Mission of the Embassy of Cuba in the United States, Ambassador Tanieris Diéguez, and Second Secretary Gabriela González participated in a meeting organized by Cuba solidarity groups in Berkeley.
