Paris, February 13 (RHC)-- Latin American organizations and alternative media confirmed Sunday their support for the 24-hour media marathon called in April by the Europe for Cuba Channel to denounce and repudiate the U.S. blockade against our country.

In the 67th edition of the program that the channel broadcasts on YouTube, the National and International Council of Popular Communication (Conaicop) and the Latin American and Caribbean Continental Coordinator of Solidarity with Cuba confirmed their support for the initiative scheduled for April 2nd and 3rd.

Representatives of both platforms agreed on the importance of disseminating in the region and the world what is happening in the largest Antillean island, target for more than 60 years of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by Washington.

Regarding the endorsements, the coordinator of Europe for Cuba, José Antonio Toledo, highlighted the advances in the response to the call launched last month, consisting of disseminating videos, interviews and testimonies on the siege and its consequences through all possible means.

We already have numerous channels, radio stations and written press that will join in from April 2 to 3, so that little by little the foundations are being laid for the world media marathon, he stressed.

Toledo insisted on the role of the alternative media in the face of the domination of the information monopolies.
