U.S. Activist Claudia de la Cruz.

Los Angeles, June 8 (RHC)-- Despite obstacles from the U.S. government to prevent it, the voice of Cuba will be heard this Wednesday in the city of Los Angeles during the opening day of the People's Summit.

Cuba's presence will be in several panels on democracy, the blockade, and other spaces, activist Claudia de la Cruz told Prensa Latina when commenting on the event, which will be held at the Vocational-Technical Community College.

"We will receive the Cuban delegation virtually, and they will be able to speak to the U.S. people," stressed the co-director of The People's Forum platform

Leaders of the Cuban civil society and recognized professionals in their field could not travel to Los Angeles because the U.S. administration refused to process their visas but gave permission to those who slavishly respond to their interests on the island.

There is no American continent without Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, said De la Cruz when referring to the countries not invited to the 9th Summit of the Americas, which is being held from Monday to Friday in Los Angeles.

To the Summit of exclusion of President Joe Biden and the Organization of American States, we respond with a Summit of inclusion, dialogue, exchange, and collaboration, said the also member of the International Assembly of the Peoples.

De la Cruz considered that the Caribbean nation is a threshold not only for the American continent but also for the world and a model to follow in terms of economic and social policies that put the needs of the people at the front and center of everything.
