Cuban president appreciated world support against US blockade

On Sunday, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel expressed gratitude for the broad international rejection of the blockade imposed and reinforced by the United States for more than six decades.

On his Twitter account, Diaz-Canel referred to the solidarity caravans that take place on the last Sunday of each month, in cities around the world led by friends of Cuba and Cuban residents abroad.

On its official Twitter account, the National Assembly of People’s Power (Parliament) pointed out that “the blockade is a mass, flagrant and systematic violation of all Cubans’ human rights.”

The Parliament thanked “all parliaments and international legislators, who demanded the elimination of this criminal policy, for their solidarity with Cuba.”

Reports from several countries, including the United States, give accounts of the demonstrations of emigres and friends of Cuba who speak out for the end of that policy that seeks to strangle Cuba economically and financially and for the country’s removal from Washington’s State Sponsors of Terrorism list.
