The Executive Order of May 1st and the Blockade Measures Announced Today Further Increase the Harm to the Cuban Population and Reinforce the Threat of Aggression
Communiqué issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba
The Senate of Grenada was the setting for a statement of support for Cuba by Senator Andrés Lewis, who addressed the legislative session to denounce the effects of the U.S. blockade and to reaffirm his country’s solidarity with the Island.
Lewis emphasized that the coercive measures imposed against Cuba have had a severe impact on the daily life of its people. Such provisions, he affirmed, restrict access to essential resources and affect strategic sectors such as health and energy.

To parliamentarians, parliaments, and inter-parliamentary organizations:
The deputies who are members of the Commission on International Relations of the National Assembly of People’s Power of the Republic of Cuba reject the new Executive Order of the President of the United States, which intensifies the economic war and seeks to further tighten the illegal and immoral collective punishment of the Cuban people.
During the International Workers’ Day celebration in Grenada, held on the island of Carriacou, a resolution condemning the latest escalation of hostility by the U.S. government against Cuba was overwhelmingly approved. The pronouncement was part of the solidarity actions with the Greater Antilles that accompanied the workers’ day.
The commemoration of International Workers’ Day in Grenada, held on the island of Carriacou, was marked by various interventions from trade union leaders and Grenadian authorities, who reaffirmed their solidarity with Cuba and denounced the hostile policies faced by the Caribbean nation.
