#DropTheBlockade

In a communiqué resulting from a meeting held in this capital, the participants expressed their solidarity with Cuba given the effects of the natural phenomena that recently hit it, the president of the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP), Fernando Gnzález, told Prensa Latina.

U.S. policy towards Cuba has had among its pillars, for more than six decades, the implementation of unilateral coercive economic measures. Although the fundamentals of this approach have varied somewhat over time, according to experts, the constant objective of the blockade policy has been to use the economic power of the US to undermine the Cuban socio-economic and political system and thus bring about a change of regime on the island.
