Miami: Many cities around the world joined a new solidarity caravan to demand the end of the economic, commercial and financial siege of the United States against Cuba.
Hundreds of people in more than twenty cities in about seven countries from the US, Canada, Latin America to Europe demanded this Sunday, with one voice, the end of the US blockade of Cuba, called by the Puentes de Amor project.
The participants rejected the continuation of pressure and Washington’s blockade against the island in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, which causes COVID-19. They branded these US measures as inhumane, criminal, illegal and in violation of international norms and rights and urged US President Joe Biden to lift them.
The coordinator of the solidarity initiative, Professor Carlos Lazo, who took to the streets of the American city of Seattle, affirmed that the fight against this unilateral siege “does not end until the blockade ends” and announced other caravans for next October and actions against the blockade.
In addition to Seattle, cities such as Miami, Las Vegas, New York or Hartford, in the territory of the United States, or in Cremona (Italy), Brussels (Belgium), Montreal and Ottawa (Canada), Managua (Nicaragua), Madrid and Granada (Spain), Córdoba (Argentina) and London (UK) have witnessed similar acts of solidarity.
Likewise, a worldwide tweet was made demanding that Biden fulfill his campaign promise and lift the sanctions that weigh on the Cuban people.
Puentes de Amor systematically carries out caravans in various US cities to call for the lifting of the blockade and the 243 coercive measures that reinforced it, adopted by Donald Trump (2017-2021) and in force with Biden.
