Dear Army General Raúl Castro Ruz, leader of the Cuban Revolution;
Dear Assemblywomen and men:
With regard to the Seminar on Title III of the Helms-Burton Law at the University of Havana, it is not idle to refer a clause of that legislation that leaves no room for doubt. Usually, the US government points out that the blockade is a bilateral issue with Cuba. Year after year in the UN General Assembly, they repeated that as one of its arguments to justify the economic war against our country. However, section 102 of the Helms Burton Act entitled "APPLICATION OF THE ECONOMIC EMBARGO TO CUBA" refers to:
Point (1) on Restrictions of other countries the following:
"I know how to disappear, but my thought will not disappear."
Jose Marti
127 years after the fall in combat of the National Hero, José Martí, the group of the Embassy of Cuba in the US carried out a small but emotional tribute to honor the memory of the Apostle.
During the act, those present addressed aspects of the life and work of José Martí and emphasized the importance of following his example for current and future generations of Cubans. This was a propitious occasion to reaffirm the commitment to keep Martí´s legacy alive.
