Washington, July 3 (RHC)-- Members of the Bridges of Love project arrived Friday in St. Augustine, in northern Florida, as part of their walk to Washington D.C. to demand an end to the U.S. blockade against Cuba.

Activist Carlos Lazo, promoter of the initiative, transmitted live on social media part of the tour through that coastal city located 500 kilometers from Miami, where he shared part of the pilgrimage with Cubans and Americans in favor of lifting the economic siege.

Together they crossed the Bridge of Lions and sang the national anthems of Cuba and the United States as a sign of the necessary rapprochement between the two nations, Lazo said.

That site is symbolic for Cubans because there is a monument that commemorates the death in that city in 1853 of the island's priest Félix Varela, considered the forger of the nation and 'the first who taught Cubans how to think.'

To those who attended his meeting, the Cuban-American professor reiterated the objectives of the 2,000-kilometer walk to the U.S. capital, where they intend to deliver to President Joe Biden the 25,000 signatures collected against the sanctions against the largest of the Antilles.

He ratified that the march has among its primary purposes the reactivation of the Washington embassy in Havana and the normalization of consular services.

Likewise, Bridges of Love requests the restoration of flights from the United States to all Cuban provinces, eliminating restrictions that prevent U.S. citizens from visiting the island and facilitating the unlimited sending of remittances to the Caribbean nation.
