Joint Declaration of Communist and Workers' Parties. Solidarity YES – Blockade NO. We demand the immediate lifting of the criminal US blockade on CUBA.
As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to spread over the whole planet causing enormous human pain and loses, it tragically confirms the existence of two different approaches: one insisting to put profits and imposition of global control above public health and the wellbeing of their own people, and a different one putting people, their health and wellbeing, above all other interests.
Today we have the drawings of Italian-Cuban-Irish children, residents of the city of Limerick, who in the company of their parents continue to ask: No More Blockade.
This time the brothers Alessio and Luca Iaquaniello, only 11 and 7 years old, from a Cuban-Italian family, but born in beautiful Ireland, join this festival of colors and from their childhood innocence demand: No More Blockade.
Cuban-Irish children continue to draw and ask: No More Blockade.
From a young age we learn that a ship is a symbol of friendship, communication and transporting goods. The Yankee empire has sworn that no ship or Captain will be able to reach Cuba due to the internationalization of its arbitrary blockade laws against the Island.
Obviously little Aidan does not know all these details and cannot understand such a policy, but he is able to understand that the blockade prevents his Cuban cousins and friends from reaching toys and other necessary goods.
ICAP message to the World Movement of Solidarity with Cuba in the time of Covid19. #BlockadeNoSolidarityYes.
Havana, 9 April, 2020
To the World Movement of Solidarity with Cuba.
Dear friends,
With deep humanistic conviction, the government and people of Cuba offer the world, once again, the example of militant Solidarity at a time when the planet is facing the global pandemic of the new Coronavirus Sars Cov-2, Covid-19, which has already claimed the lives of more than 70 thousand people in the world in a very short time.
