Those who love and create are on the right side of history, said Roberto Yis, a Cuban emigrant residing in that city in South Florida, a member of “Puentes de Amor”, a movement that convenes caravans against the blockade on the last weekend of each month .
Faced with the harassment and provocations, Cuban-Americans, American friends and simply people of good will joined this initiative, because “it is not about being from the right or from the left,” said the activist, who is also a member of the Alianza Martiana.
He said they were not there to oppose or confront anyone, “we are here to ask for what we think is fair,” according to a video posted on social networks.
The caravan is for the Cuban family, the lifting of sanctions and removing Cuba from the list of countries that sponsor terrorism, the call indicated.
In a telephone dialogue with Prensa Latina, Yis confirmed that around 25 cars traveled through the streets of Miami until they ended up in areas of the International Airport of that city, where with one voice they sang the hymn of the homeland that saw the majority of them born.
Various cities in the United States and other parts of the world reported expressions of support for the Antillean nation during the day.
Shortly before leaving office in January 2021, then-President Donald Trump reinserted Cuba on the list of State sponsors of terrorism, from which it was withdrawn in 2015 by the Barack Obama government (2009-2017).
Trump adopted a policy of maximum pressure against Cuba from which, until now, his Democratic successor, Joe Biden, has not backed down.
Each motorcade reminds the current occupant of the Oval Office of his campaign commitment to reverse Trump’s cruel and failed policies.
