Paris, August 18 (RHC)-- The international call for the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Cuba's Henry Reeve medical brigades is growing daily from various Internet platforms, a call that has been reinforced by initiatives in France.
On the social network Facebook, more than four thousand people are part of a group created by the French association Cuba Linda, a site that disseminates information from various parts of the planet to support the request to recognize the island's health professionals who have faced COVID-19 in dozens of countries.
The members share videos and news about the work of the brigades and with their contribution to the fight against the current pandemic -- continuing 60 years of solidarity deployed by the Cuban Revolution in the field of health.
"Cuba brings love, solidarity, humanism, health and hope to millions of people in the world through its glorious army of white coats," reflects one of the group's recent publications.
The request to award the Nobel Peace Prize 2021 to Cuban physicians is also supported by the French website for online petitions and surveys -- MesOpinions.com -- where signatures exceed 2,000.
"They go around the world to help everywhere out of conviction," said an Internet user on Tuesday, in one of the nearly 600 comments posted so far.
French, English, Portuguese and Russian are some of the languages from which the call receives support in MesOpinions.com.
These initiatives complement the platform launched at the end of April by Cuba Linda and France Cuba, which has been joined by more than 200 organizations from 26 countries -- mainly from Europe and Latin America, with France, Honduras, Spain, Hungary, Italy, Switzerland, Brazil and the Dominican Republic among the most represented.
Also parliamentarians, intellectuals, trade union leaders, journalists, local authorities and citizens advocate for the recognition with the Nobel Prize of the Henry Reeve International Contingent of Doctors Specialized in Disaster Situations and Serious Epidemics, which since its creation in 2005 has saved millions of lives in the five continents.
