NOW we have a chance to show solidarity with Cuba and help the Cuban people in their fight against coronavirus at home and abroad”
Len McCluskey, Unite general secretary
There is a growing worldwide demand to end the US blockade of Cuba to help the international battle against the coronavirus pandemic.
The Ambassador of Cuba to the United Kingdom, Bárbara Elena Montalvo Álvarez, participated today in the online launch of the book We are Cuba by British academician Helen Yaffe. We are Cuba offers an analysis of the last 30 years of the Cuban revolutionary process and how the Cuban people has survived the post-Soviet Union era.
The diplomat congratulated the author and highlighted that, despite her youth, Yaffe has become a referent academician in the UK for Cuban topics. Likewise, the Ambassador thanked the honesty with which the author conducted this project.
The Embassy of #Cuba to the United Kingdom thanks this new initiative of our fellow comrades from “Cubanos en UK” association. Their permanent support to their Nation, the immediate response to their Homeland praises them.
The Embassy of #Cuba thanks this initiative launched by the Cuba Solidarity Campaign which, together with their open letter signed by 15,000 people from more than 80 countries and their request to lift the blockade signed by 51 Members of the British Parliament, is part of the permanent support of this organization to the Cuban people.

The impact of COVID19 can already be measured and will be assessed in the future by the striking numbers of people infected, the unacceptable numbers of deaths, the unquestionable damages to the world economy, production, trade, employment and personal income of millions of people. It is a crisis that goes well beyond the scope of health.
