Washington, July 28 (RHC)-- The solidarity movement Puentes de Amor (Bridges of Love) called Thursday for participation in a new World Caravan against the U.S. government's blockade of Cuba on July 31, which will be centered in the city of Miami.
In the call, disseminated through social networks, the group led by professor Carlos Lazo invited all people of good will to join this initiative in favor of the Cuban family.
"Let's go together", pointed out the audiovisual posted by Puentes de Amor on the Internet in which it reiterated the claim: "Down with the blockade against Cuba!".
Participants in the caravan will congregate on Sunday morning in the Coral Gables area, an action that will be replicated in different U.S. cities and countries such as Canada, Mexico, South Africa, Belgium, Argentina, Brazil, Italy, Japan and Spain, among others.
The last weekend of each month is repeated the demand to U.S. President Joe Biden to lift all sanctions against Cuba and eliminate the unilateral siege imposed on the island more than six decades ago by the governments of the White House, whether Democrat or Republican.
Bridges of Love is part of the growing wave inside and outside the U.S. territory calling for the end of the blockade and for both parties to move forward on the path of understanding.
Biden promised to reverse the failed policies towards Cuba of his predecessor, Donald Trump, but 18 months after his arrival at the executive mansion there are hardly any signs in that direction.
Last May 16, the Democratic administration announced some measures regarding visas, regular migration, flights to Cuban provinces, remittances and adjustments to the regulations for transactions with the non-state sector that were well received; however, they did not touch the very essence of the blockade.
Cuban authorities expressed in this regard that this is a limited step in the right direction, but that the announcements do not modify the blockade at all, nor the main measures of economic asphyxiation taken by Trump.
In that sense, Havana denounced that the lists of entities that are subject to additional coercive measures are maintained and the travel bans on U.S. citizens are not eliminated.
Nor does it reverse the arbitrary and fraudulent inclusion of Cuba in the State Department's list of countries that allegedly sponsor terrorism.
The above is one of the main causes of the difficulties encountered by the Caribbean nation in its commercial and financial transactions in many parts of the world, warned the Cuban Foreign Ministry.
