Grenadian media have given wide coverage to the campaign “Grateful Grenada Gives Back to Cuba”, an initiative aimed at raising funds and mobilizing resources to support the Island amid the shortages caused by the economic blockade. In this regard, the newspaper The New Today dedicated prominent space to reporting on the solidarity activities.
Former Foreign Minister of Grenada, Peter David, appeared on Telesur to voice his support for Cuba and denounce the consequences of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States. In his message, he emphasized that regional solidarity is essential to confront the difficulties faced by the Island and condemned smear campaigns against its historic leaders.
The Ambassador of Cuba to Grenada, Yadirys Echenique Paz, spoke at the first solidarity dinner organized as part of the Citizens for Cuba campaign. In an atmosphere of fraternity, she thanked the organizers and participants for their effort and dedication, emphasizing that the gesture honors the tradition of friendship between both peoples.
The Premier of Nevis and Opposition Leader of Saint Kitts and Nevis, Mark Brantley, denounced during the most recent congress of the Democratic People’s Movement (DPM) the energy blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba. In his remarks, he emphasized that this policy constitutes an act of hostility aimed at suffocating the Island and breaking the resistance of its people.
Grenadian leader Arley Gill, deputy political leader of the Democratic People’s Movement (DPM), emphasized that the critical situation faced by the Cuban people stems from the tightening of sanctions and hostile measures imposed by the United States. His remarks were delivered during an address at the most recent congress of his political organization.
Renowned Grenadian jurist Ruggles Ferguson, King’s Counsel, recently denounced on Meaningful TV Grenada the responsibility of the United States for the difficult situation Cuba is facing.
Ferguson pointed out that the measures imposed by Washington have deepened the island’s energy and economic shortages, limiting access to basic resources and directly affecting the daily lives of Cubans. The jurist stressed that Caribbean solidarity must be firm and visible in the face of these external pressures.
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.
