Dublin, May 5, 2021. Members of the parliamentary friendship groups of Cuba and Ireland held a virtual meeting this afternoon which was opened by Sean O Fearghail, president of the Chamber of Deputies of Ireland, who conveyed a fraternal greeting to the people and Cuban parliamentarians. He recognized the strength of the Cuban health system and its success in facing the pandemic.
The COVID19 pandemic has exposed the murderous constraints that the criminal US and EU blockade imposes on the people of Cuba.
The US blockade is the main obstacle preventing Cuba’s purchase of the medicines, equipment and material it requires to confront the Covid19 pandemic. Even charitable donations of medical equipment to Cuba have been intercepted by the US authorities.
Dublin, May 2018. Cuban Ambassador Hugo René Ramos Milanés received the visit of Michael Donnelly, President of the Workers' Party, at the headquarters of the Cuban Embassy in Ireland, who after wishing success in the mission assigned to the diplomatic representative, ratified the traditional solidarity of its political organization with the Cuban Revolution and the Communist Party of Cuba.
