The group said in a statement that the outgoing president of the United States, Joseph Biden, still has time to end that policy and thus respond to the call not only from the Cuban people, but also from the majority of the world’s governments, former presidents, religious leaders and hundreds of organizations in the United States.

Addressing Biden, it added, “You are still in time to accept the demands from the Cuban people who ask you to end the blockade! Remove Cuba from the list of sponsors of terrorism! Let Cuba live in peace!

The Cuban residents in Peru also called to remove Cuba from the unilateral and illegal list of countries that sponsor terrorism, which entails serious financial and commercial damages.

From Peru, “We feel proud and excited to see the images that traveled around the world demonstrating to the empire once again that the Cuban people will not give in to any impositions and the response is and will always be courage and resistance in the face of adversity.”

“The Raíces Mambisas Association of Cuban Residents in Peru, the Cuban community abroad, will continue to denounce before the world the US Government’s pressures and unilateral decisions that prevent the total sovereignty of the glorious and brave Cuban people,” he added.
