Havana_ Governments, intellectuals, activists, trade union organizations and Cuban residents abroad have joined their voices in the last few hours from several countries to the global demand to lift the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States on Cuba, Prensa Latina publishes.
Messages of rejection to the siege in force for almost 60 years were sent from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Haiti, Italy, Mexico, South Africa and Uruguay, almost more than one month that the UN General Assembly will vote a draft resolution for the 27th consecutive time since 1992 demanding the end of the blockade.
Oscar Veron, of the Argentine Movement of Solidarity with Cuba (MasCuba), told Prensa Latina that they will continue fighting until Washington has lifted the blockade against the Caribbean nation.
According to the activist, a campaign to spread through social networks the terrible damage caused by almost six decades of that policy began in the South American country.
The objective is that Argentines and Latin Americans are aware of its impact, he said on Monday.
Bolivian Foreign Minister, Diego Pary, ratified the support to the Caribbean nation in its just demand to finish the U.S. sanctions, whose damages the Cuban government estimates in more than $933 billion USD.
Consistent with its principles and its people, Bolivia will accompany the Cuban government and people in the presentation of the resolution, Pary told Prensa Latina about the draft resolution that will be voted on October 31 at the United Nations, a text similar to the one that has always received categorical support from the international community.
In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, participants in the 13th International Seminar of Struggles against Neoliberalism approved a motion to support the island's people in its fight against the blockade.
By acclamation, those attending the meeting held the weekend described as criminal the siege that successive North American administrations have maintained.
Chilean writer and journalist Manuel Cabieses predicted a new condemnation of the blockade at the General Assembly. South African trade unions, which bring together about two million workers, joined the call to lift the blockade, in one of the resolutions adopted at its 13th congress, recently held in Johannesburg.
The document reflects the need to develop new actions to intensify campaigns in South Africa to support Cuba's battle in defense of its sovereign right to self-determination and human dignity.
Cuban residents in Haiti and Italy asked the United States to end the blockade, a measure repudiated by 191 of 193 UN member states in the last three years.
In Mexico, participants in the 23rd National Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba, whose sessions concluded on Sunday, September 23, rejected the economic, commercial and financial siege, and reiterated their commitment to the Caribbean country.
