Managua, November 29 (RHC)-- The 37th Plenary Meeting of the Permanent Commission of Political Parties of Latin America -COPPAL-, issued on Friday a resolution of solidarity with Cuba, through which they condemned and demanded the end of the U.S. blockade of the Caribbean island.

“We condemn and demand an end to the unjust and illegal economic, financial and commercial blockade imposed on Cuba by the United States and increased in recent months by the government of Donald Trump,” the participants in the forum declared.

The resolution recalled that in May Trump activated title III of the extraterritorial Helms-Burton law, as well as several additional sanctions that harm the people of the Caribbean island nation.

The resolution argues that the blockade remains the main obstacle to Cuba's economic and social development, an attack on national sovereignty and a flagrant violation of international law.

At the same time, the meeting of the political forum celebrating the 40th anniversary of its foundation, in Oaxaca, Mexico, recognized the humanist work of Cuban medical collaboration that saved the lives and recovered the vision of millions of human beings in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The document also expressed COPPAL’s solidarity with Cuba and call for the broadest mobilization to stop the economic war that seeks to starve that nation .
