In a statement Prensa Latina had access to, the solidarity movement referred to the incidents that mobilized a group of Cubans past Sunday, March 17, a day in which a smear campaign was waged to overstate the event and above all its motivations.

That event was an opportunity for the “imperial spokesmen to threaten once again the dignity of the Cuban people”.

The organization ratified “its commitment with the just causes conducted by Cuba, which has given it the title of a reference of dignity for the peoples around the world and in Latin America”.

The Coordinating Committee for Peace, Sovereignty, Integration and Non-interference (CPAZ), which sent a letter to the Cuban ambassador in Ecuador, Basilio Gutiérrez, to express its support to Cuba and its authorities, pronounced itself in similar terms.

CPAZ warned of the “imperialist maneuvers” of those who intend to “to fish in troubled waters, troubled by themselves and deform the perception of reality to distract world opinion and exacerbate situations of local protest, normal in a participatory democracy and even more so in the one we are dealing with, so close to the jaws of the monster”.
