Nicosia, Cyprus, March 26, 2026. - Representatives of the Cypriot working class affiliated with the Progressive Party of Working People (AKEL) ratified this Thursday at their National Council their unconditional support and solidarity with Cuba.
The session welcomed as a special guest the Ambassador of the Republic of Cuba in Cyprus, Rubén Pino Martínez, who received from the General Secretary of the Pan-Cypriot Labor Federation (PEO), Sotiroulla Charalambous, the sentiment and solidarity attachment of the thousands of workers affiliated with this labor confederation on the island in the Eastern Mediterranean.
As Sotiroulla Charalambous expressed, "Solidarity with Cuba is part of the struggle we maintain for our principles and values of dignity that today prevail in Cuba and in our working class," she specified. "We do not do it out of habit or mandate, but because the siege of North American imperialism becomes increasingly inhumane and aggressive against the Cuban nation, and, under the current conditions in which its people live, we feel that we have to support its workers, because their struggle means something more important for Cypriot workers, who understand the right of the Cuban people to defend their future, their self-determination, and the ability to live in peace."
