U.S. solidarity brigadistas visit eastern Cuban provinces

Representatives of the Venceremos Brigade of Solidarity with Cuba arrived this Saturday from the United States in the eastern province of Holguín to learn about the reality of the people and to offer their support to the Revolution.

The 99 brigadists, who come from 20 states of the northern nation, will contact communities, visit historical centers and carry out days of volunteer work on the 55th anniversary of the creation of this group.

The authorities of the Communist Party of Cuba, the provincial government and the Cuban Institute for Friendship with Peoples welcomed them at the Frank Pais International Airport.

The Venceremos Brigade will first travel to Guantánamo, where it will begin its tour of the eastern region to strengthen ties between the peoples of Cuba and the United States.

According to the activists, mostly young people, this will be an opportunity to express their rejection of the blockade that their country has imposed on this island for more than six decades, and to learn firsthand about the effects of this criminal policy on Cuban families and the Cuban nation.
