The executive secretary of ALBA-TCP, Sacha Llorenti, acknowledged the role of media such as Prensa Latina and Telesur in the fight against media aggression on countries of the integrationist bloc.

Llorenti stated this during a visit to Prensa Latina main office in Havana, where he underlined the vitality and validity of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP).

In a meeting with the chairman of Prensa Latina, Luis Enrique González, the former Bolivian minister and former diplomat denounced the punitive policies and the media warfare against Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and his own country in which, he said, disinformation prevails, driven by the United States Government.

He praised the role played by the bloc in confronting Covid-19 and in particular Cuba’s effort to help other nations and share its vaccines.

Sacha Llorenti is about to conclude an intense work agenda in Cuba, where he met with President Miguel Díaz-Canel, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez, and other government officials and civil society personalities.
