Limassol, Cyprus, May 14, 2026.—The ambassador of the Republic of Cuba to Cyprus, Rubén Pino Martínez, expressed his gratitude on Thursday for the sincere expressions of solidarity and support for the Caribbean island during the #CubaNoEstáSola event, held at the “Olimpos” Club in Ayios Nicolás in that coastal city.

Organised by the host sports club in conjunction with the Cyprus-Cuba Friendship Association and members of the Pan-Cypriot Association for Democratic Resistance in Cyprus, the event was attended by a large contingent of parliamentarians friendly to Cuba and members of the Progressive Party of Working People (AKEL) and the Cypriot left, along with supporters of the island and local residents, who turned this gathering into a resounding outcry condemning the U.S. policy of blockade against the largest of the Antilles.

This call was ratified by Tasos Savva, president of the Pan-Cypriot Association for Democratic Resistance, in unconditional commitment and solidarity with the Cuban people, given the current difficult conditions the country is facing as a victim of the energy blockade imposed since early February and as a result of the aggressive rhetoric and pressures that today impose enormous difficulties and limitations on the Cuban nation.

Nicosia, Cyprus, May 9. – The Ambassador of Cuba to the Republic of Cyprus, Rubén Pino Martínez, paid tribute this Saturday to the victims of fascism, Nazism, and militarism, during the event organized by the Progressive Party of Working People (AKEL) at the World War II Memorial in this capital.

As every May 9, AKEL commemorates the anniversary of that great victory as a tribute to the tens of millions of people who were victims of fascism; this time, accompanied by the various organizations and political forces that make up the Cypriot left-wing popular movement, joined by diplomatic representatives from the State of Palestine, Russia, China, and Cuba.

The main speeches of the event were delivered by the Secretary General of AKEL, Stefanos Stefanou, who paid tribute to the “tens of millions of people who fell defending democracy, defending the principles that humanity has forged over the centuries of progress, both on the battlefields and in the guerrillas created in occupied countries, in the detention centers and prisons imposed by fascism, victims of the hunger and hardships caused by fascism in countries occupied by Nazism and fascism.”
