Cuban ambassador denounces blockade and expresses gratitude for solidarity at Trades Union Congress (TUC)

With deep gratitude, the Ambassador acknowledged the "extraordinary and unwavering solidarity" of the British people, embodied by the Campaign for Solidarity with Cuba and the trade union movement. She highlighted the "Cuba Vive" medical appeal, a joint effort that has raised nearly £200,000 and sent four containers of vital medical supplies to the island so far this year.

BRIGHTON, 8 September 2025 – In a forceful speech at the 157th Annual Congress of British Trade Unions (TUC), the counterpart organisation of the Cuban Workers' Central (CTC), Ambassador Ismara Vargas Walter presented the ‘unvarnished truth’ about the devastating impact of the United States' economic, commercial and financial blockade against our country.
