A wave of solidarity from the international community is once again on Cuba's side, just a few days before the United Nations resubmits a resolution on the need to put an end to the economic, commercial and financial blockade of the United States against the largest of the Antilles.
Voices were raised this weekend from the very cities of the empire to demand the end of the criminal policy, described as genocide. New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and other U.S. cities mobilized in favor of the Cuban cause.
From the homeland of Simón Bolívar came an embrace of solidarity, expressed in a recent debate on the upcoming voting day on this issue at the UN, in which it was stressed that successive U S. governments have ignored the clear position of the international community and what was decided at the General Assembly of that multilateral body.
The blockade, which is a flagrant violation of human rights on the part of the government that announces itself as the champion of human rights, is sustained with laws such as the Helms-Burton and Torricelli laws, which reinforce sanctions and seek to isolate Cuba internationally.
"The devastating consequences of this U.S. policy are aggravated by the inclusion of Cuba on the list of countries sponsoring terrorism, the sanctions on shipping companies, shippers and insurers involved in the supply of fuel to Cuba, and the persecution of financial transactions," stressed a statement issued by the Belarusian party, Belaya Rus.
A large caravan through the main arteries of the Panamanian capital supported Cuba in its just struggle, expressing itself for a world that cannot be a spectator of such an injustice, and demanded stronger action in the face of the brutal posture of the United States.
The Dominican Committee of Solidarity with Cuba, in the province of Santiago de los Caballeros, made a stop to demand the end of this economic siege. The Argentine Movement of Solidarity with Cuba also spoke out against such an aberrant policy.
Members of the European Parliament, belonging to different political parties, who had signed a letter of solidarity due to the energy emergency and the passage of hurricane Oscar through eastern Cuba, demanded the immediate lifting of the blockade and acknowledged the enormous efforts made by the people to resist its consequences.
In Spain, the Netherlands, Mexico, France, Russia, Belize, Bahamas, Jamaica, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Honduras, Uruguay, Dominica, St. Kitts and Nevis, Bolivia, Canada, Sweden, Barbados, Australia, Germany and Antigua and Barbuda there were reports of acts of solidarity with the largest of the Antilles.
