In a statement read within the framework of the 3rd Central American Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba, the Network called for the end of Washington’s unilateral measure.

The group added that the economic blockade, tightened with over 240 measures under Donald Trump’s term, has caused serious damage to the Cuban people, and it is contrary to the principles of the UN Charter and International Law.

In this regard, the Network described such a date as special for Latin America and the world, since on the same day, but in different years, Fidel Castro was born in Cuba and Tomas Borge in Nicaragua.
