Organizations and personalities from Latin American countries and the United States added their voice this week to the campaign of the Europe for Cuba channel "World Tsunami against the blockade", the platform of solidarity with the island highlighted today.
Argentine Nobel Peace Prize winner and activist Adolfo Pérez Esquivel was one of those who supported the call to put an end to the U.S. economic, commercial and financial blockade against the Antillean nation, a policy that has been in place for more than six decades.
The Mexican intellectual Fernando Buen Abad also expressed his rejection of Washington's siege, which he described as criminal, inhuman and perverse.
It is essential to support any international campaign that attends to and understands the urgency of specifying this crime against humanity and this attack on the raison d'être of the human species, said Buen Abad in a video broadcast on his Sunday YouTube channel Europe for Cuba, which launched the initiative on April 3.
The channel also broadcast messages repudiating the blockade imposed on the island from the José Martí Association of Cubans Residing in Mexico and the José Martí Cultural Institute of Puebla.
Miguel Mármol, member of the National Council of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front of El Salvador, also expressed his participation in the claim.
From the United States, the coordinator of the Committee for Solidarity with Cuba and Venezuela in that country, Gloria La Riva, denounced that the administration of Joseph Biden has maintained the aggressiveness reinforced by his predecessor in the White House, Donald Trump, who ordered more than 240 measures to tighten the blockade against Cuba.
Likewise, the former presidential candidate in 2008 called for joining voices in condemning the inclusion of the largest of the Antilles in Washington's unilateral list of countries sponsoring terrorism.
Also on northern soil joined the "Tsunami", among others, Professor Danny Shaw, researcher at The City University of New York, and activists Erin Feely and Ike Nahem, on behalf of the Coalition that organizes the U.S.-Cuba Normalization Conference.
In April, the campaign was accompanied from Canada, where it started, with the demand to lift the siege expressed by several associations.
According to Europe for Cuba, the aim of the initiative is to activate waves of solidarity with the island throughout the spring in the form of a "tsunami" passing from country to country and from continent to continent in America, Europe, Africa and Asia.
