Cuba solidarity meeting in Spain announced

 

Madrid, Jul 2 (RHC) The 17th Cuba Solidarity Meeting will be held from 4 to 6 October in Torremolinos, Málaga, according to the event's preparatory committee.

 

The Cuban Solidarity Movement (MESC) has expressed its certainty that the event will have an important participation of representatives of different organizations in Spain, with the perspective of becoming a new milestone in the strengthening of support for the Caribbean island.

 

In its appeal, the Cuban Solidarity Movement pointed out that the material living conditions of the Cuban people are in a very difficult situation as a result of the US blockade, which has recently been tightened.

 

It recalled that during the Donald Trump administration, 240 new economic measures were approved in 2019 to tighten the blockade, as well as Cuba's inclusion in the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT).

 

In this regard, the measures taken in January 2020, a few days before the end of his (Trump's) presidency, meant that banking agencies and all international financial institutions would stop granting credit to Cuba, aggravating the situation of lack of foreign currency.

 

The Cuban Solidarity Movement stressed that during the administration of Joe Biden, "despite his electoral promises to reverse Trump's measures against Cuba, the blockade conditions against Cuba were maintained, since he did not dare to lift them due to pressure from the anti-Cuban mafia".

 

After a broad review of Cuba's confrontation with Covid-19 and the ingenuity of its scientists to create the island's own vaccines, the Cuban Solidarity Movement noted that in 2023 the International Tribunal against the Blockade was successfully held at the headquarters of the European Parliament in Brussels, with the participation of world-renowned jurists and the active participation of the Cuban Solidarity Movement.
