We are facing a political problem created by US imperialism, to which we must first say that all is enough, because without the blockade, the Cuban people would have a very different situation, Farou, who is also the leader of the Federation of Mines and Energy at the General Confederation of Labor in France (CGT), told Prensa Latina.

According to Farou, the support for Cuba is total in the battle against a siege imposed for more than six decades, and that solidarity is expressed in concrete actions promoted within one of the main union organizations nationwide.

We are working on the Containers for Cuba campaign and the CGT has already collected almost 200,000 euros, which allow us to hire containers and fill them with food and medicines, he underlined in the context of the holding of the Congress of the Federation of Mines and Energy in Clermont-Ferrand city.

The union leader pointed out that some 200 grassroots unions of the Federation and 36 CGT organizations have responded to the call for solidarity with Cuba.
