The document pointed out that the idea would have negative effects, such as exacerbating the obstacles to financial transactions.

CCOO calls on the Spanish Government and the European Union to redouble efforts with the Government of the United States to remove Cuba from that list and end the illegal blockade against the Caribbean nation, the trade union’s text stated.

Spain’s General Union of Workers (UGT) strongly condemned the US political and economic harassment against Cuba while reassuring its support for Cuba.
