Today, the government of the United States announced several measures, which are positive but of a very limited scope, regarding Cuba associated to the granting of visas, regular migration, flights to Cuban provinces, remittances and adjustments to the regulations governing transactions with the non-state sector. Taking into account the nature of such measures, it would be possible to identify some of the promises made by President Biden during the electoral campaign of 2020 to alleviate the inhumane decisions adopted by President Trump’s administration, which tightened the blockade to unprecedented levels and increased the “maximum pressure” policy applied ever since against our country.
Numerous samples of accompaniment received the Embassy of Cuba in this capital after the accident at the Saratoga Hotel that cost the lives of more than 44 people and left many injured, as well as considerable material losses.

In the messages, the deep feeling that also ran through the Island could be perceived.
