Brussels, December 30 (RHC) --Members of the European Parliament y congratulated Cuba and its people on the Revolution's 62nd anniversary with messages condemning the US blockade and recognizing the island's resistance.

This 2020 was hard for everyone, with the Covid-19 pandemic, but especially for the Cuban people, who suffered another year of the senseless US blockade, said Spanish MEP Javier Moreno, president of the Friendship and Solidarity with Cuba Group of the 9th Legislature of the European Parliament.

Moreno acknowledged the Caribbean island's resistance and highlighted its humanism and altruism, expressed with the help of its health professionals to other nations hit by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.

For that reason, from our group in the European Parliament, we support the petition to award the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize to the Henry Reeve medical brigades, as well as work for the lifting of the blockade and the non-application of the extraterritorial and contrary to international law Helms-Burton law, he stressed.

For her part, Portuguese MEP Sandra Pereira called the Revolution of January 1, 1959, an inspiration for those who fight for freedom, social justice, and sovereignty.

The member of the Communist Party of her country also emphasized the solidarity of the island in times of pandemic, "despite an economic blockade that we condemn.

We support the Cuban Revolution and its right to build a path free of interferences, said Pereira.

For Sira Rego, the new anniversary is a propitious occasion to salute a process that is also the heritage of the people who dream, work and fight for a more just, solidary, and equitable world.

These are 62 years of example in extraordinarily complicated conditions, in front of those who insist on exporting imperialism, destruction, and weapons. In contrast, Cuba exports solidarity, commitment, resistance and dignity, said the MEP from Izquierda Unida Spain.
