BLOQUEO

London, November 8 - The Cuban Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Ismara Vargas Walter, made a very successful visit to the city of Bristol, where she met with friends and sympathizers of the Cuban cause, visited emblematic places in the city and participated in various activities with solidarity organizations, trade union leaders and local Labour Party councillors. This day of exchange was a demonstration of the friendship and solidarity that unites the Cuban people with the British community, especially at a time when Cuba is facing the U.S.

Just when there are just a few days left for the international community to once again speak out almost unanimously against the blockade that the United States imposed on Cuba for more than six decades, voices of denunciation and rejection of this cruel politics raised from Saint Kitts and Nevis.

The UK Labour Party's annual conference, held this week in the city of Liverpool, was the first since the party's victory on 4 July after 14 years of Conservative Party (Tory) governments.

The event brought together representatives of Britain's main trade unions, including UNISON and UNITE, which have historically backed Labour. It was also attended by members and leaders of other national unions.

On September 23, I’m delighted to be speaking at a the north-west Cuba Vive Rally at the Casa in my home constituency of Liverpool Riverside.

Alongside the Cuban ambassador, parliamentary colleagues Bell Ribeiro-Addy and Richard Burgon and trade union leaders, I will be helping to raise awareness and funds to send life-saving medical aid to Cuba.
