The José Martí Cultural Association of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul (ACJM-RS) revalidated its friendship with Cuba

 

Brasilia, Feb 6 (RHC) The José Martí Cultural Association of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul (ACJM-RS) revalidated its undisputed friendship with Cuba and condemned the U.S. blockade, which today is more than ever a threat to the island.

 

Sources of the organization indicated that such solidarity and repudiation of the U.S. siege was made clear during a visit to the territory of Ambassador Adolfo Curbelo, Chargé d'Affaires of the Cuban embassy in the South American giant.

 

In the meeting with the solidarity movement of that region, Curbelo thanked the expressions of support and affection towards his country and spoke about the Cuban reality and the difficulties faced by the population, such as energy blackouts that prevent industrial growth.

 

He admitted the lack of some food and health supplies but Cuba continues to defend its revolution with the participation and sacrifice of all.

 

He denounced Washington's unjust blockade intensified during the Covid-19 pandemic. That country imposed more than 240 measures and tightened the siege to try to surrender its people.

 

Upon his arrival in the southern state, the diplomat was received by the president of the ACJM-RS, Ricardo Haesbaert, and the general secretary of the association, Marajuara Azambuja, as well as the head of the Legislative Assembly of Rio Grande do Sul, State Representative Valdeci Oliveira.

 

The deputy presented the diplomat with the publication Catalog: Social Movements Under Suspicion, a document of the political police of Rio Grande do Sul during the dictatorship (1964-1985).

 

Valdeci Oliveira also expressed his joy for the visit and announced that he intends to visit Cuba this year and reinforce the support for the denunciation against the blockade.

 

Together with Haesbaert, the Cuban ambassador also visited the Luis Carlos Prestes Memorial, made by the renowned architect Oscar Niemeyer, which rescues the memory of the warrior of the Brazilian people, Knight of Hope, and friend of Cuba throughout his life.

 

The José Martí Cultural Association of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul (ACJM-RS) also highlighted the presence on the agenda of the World Social Forum (WSF) of the 170th anniversary of the birth of Cuba's National Hero, José Martí.

 

 

From January 23 to 28, Brazil hosted the World Social Forum after a phase of intense debates on the future of social struggles and of the process itself, with the perspective of serving the resistance movements against the advance of neoliberal forces and their onslaught against young democracies in Latin America.
