Madrid, Feb 3 (RHC) A brigade made up of nine people, five Spaniards, and four Cubans, traveled to Cuba with donations of more than a ton of medicines, and sanitary and surgical material.

The news was released today from Santiago de Compostela by the portal Cubainformación, which also reported the inclusion of 350 kilograms of powdered milk, as part of the Solidarity Ants Project, promoted by Cuban patriotic emigration organizations and against the blockade.

"The Hormigas Solidarias project is a person-to-person effort to break the blockade against Cuba", said the promoters of the campaign, stressing that it is an extraordinary effort of its organizers and contributors.

In this case, entire days were dedicated to the confirmation of the donation, whose destination will be the Oncology Hospital of Havana, the Institute of Nephrology, the Institute of Hematology, and a local hospital in the province of Artemisa.

The peculiarity of the Project is that the donations are delivered directly to the receiving institutions, and the "ants", as the people who carry the shipments are affectionately called, have the possibility of exchanging with the benefited patients themselves.

On the other hand, the activists highlighted the history of struggles in favor of Cuba within the consular region which includes Santiago de Compostela, Asturias, and Cantabria.

Beyond the aforementioned areas, a note also praised the responsibility and dynamism of the FACRE (Federation of Cuban Residents in Spain).

The sources recalled that at the XIV Meeting of Cubans in Europe, held in Berlin, the project campaign "Hormigas Solidarias" became not only a humanist objective but also an ideological project, by pointing out that the US blockade is a political weapon of war. (Source: Prensa Latina)
