Unity in action against the blockade of Cuba is defended in France

Havana, Aug 2 RHC) The president of the Cuba Coopération France association (CubaCoop), Víctor Fernández, pleaded today for the unity of action of all the forces on French and European soil fighting against the US blockade of the Caribbean island.

According to Fernández, all the people willing to fight against the economic, commercial and financial siege must be inspired by the unity of the Cuban people against the aggressions.

In the opinion of the president of CubaCoop, relevant moments are coming in the battle to denounce, condemn and weaken the blockade, a policy that he described as criminal and unacceptable.

In this regard, he mentioned the initiative of the French Communist Party to launch a campaign against the blockade at the Fête de l'Humanité political-cultural festival, scheduled for September 15 to 17; the celebration in that space of the second European forum of support to Cuba and the realization in November in Brussels of the International Tribunal against the blockade.

Last month, the People's Summit hosted by the Belgian capital announced the call to the Tribunal, a joint call of European, Latin American, and American legal, social, trade union, and political organizations to judge and repudiate the siege in force for more than six decades.

Fernández insisted that in addition to political support, the island needs support in its socio-economic development, hampered by Washington's unilateral measures. Hence the importance of the strategic alliance in France and in other countries, in order to press for the economic and banking insertion of Cuba in the space of the European Union.

The extraterritoriality of the US blockade impacts European companies, banks and citizens, who are threatened and punished with sanctions if they maintain commercial and financial ties with the Caribbean nation.

The president of CubaCoop considered it key to achieve, through unity and joint efforts, compliance with the thirty resolutions that in the UN General Assembly have demanded from the United States since 1992 the end of its hostile policy towards the Caribbean country, intensified in recent years. recent years, even in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.
