Bridges of Love


 

Washington, August 7 (RHC) From the United States to Cuba, we need to send equipment for its development, not hatred, affirmed activist Carlos Lazo, coordinator of the Puentes de Amor (Bridges of Love) movement, on Monday.

 

In welcoming the issuance of a license to a U.S. private company to sell heavy equipment to our country, Lazo expressed that thing like these are, in a way, breaches in the blockade.

 

Hopefully, more news like this will come, but we have to continue to press and raise our voices to put an end to the blockade and let Cuba live, he emphasized during a live broadcast on social media.

 

Those are positive steps in the right direction, pointed out the Cuban professor residing in the city of Seattle, who emphasized that's what it's all about, building bridges of love.

 

Those who want economic activity, who want Cubans to be able to pursue their life projects in their country, those who want Cuba to be removed from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, are the ones who love and build, he noted.

 

In that sense, he urged President Joe Biden to "hurry up and not wait any longer because there are many disappointed with the timid policy of this administration that promised a change towards Cuba."

 

The blockade exists, but Puentes de Amor (Bridges of Love) exists as well, pointed out an internet user. As long as there is a dignified Cuban, we will continue to fight for the lifting of the blockade, commented another. For the first time in six decades, the United States authorized a private company to sell motorcycles, buses, trucks, construction equipment, and agricultural equipment to Cuba.

 

As announced, Katapulk, owned by Cuban-American Hugo Cancio, received an expanded license that will allow it to send heavy equipment manufactured in the United States between 2018 and 2023 to the island.

 

In May, Katapulk obtained a license from the Department of Commerce to export new and used luxury cars to the Caribbean island, and with the current provision, the range of its sales will be extended.

 

Recently, John Felder, a veteran and businessman based in Maryland who has been involved in shipping vehicles to the Caribbean for decades, also received a license to export electric cars and scooters to Cuba. (Source: Prensa Latina)
