Muselli, director of the Primary Health Care Network in the western department of Colonia, stated that the Caribbean island “does not threaten any country” and, on the contrary, spreads solidarity throughout the world.

The Uruguayan doctor mentioned that he graduated in 2011 from the Latin American School of Medicine, “where many young Latin Americans became doctors thanks to Cuban solidarity.”

Far from being a threat, he insisted, the Caribbean island “is a nation of solidarity that has always helped Latin American countries and other parts of the world when they needed it most.”

He said that at a time when the Caribbean nation is in danger, he issued his message to emphasize that “we will do everything possible to help them and they should know that Cuba is not alone.”

Dr. Muselli’s statements join those of other Uruguayans, politicians, legislators, and citizens who, through social media, news outlets, and public letters, are joining the movement in support of the island besieged by the US blockade.

Among the actions of this citizen movement and political and social organizations is a caravan called for February 28, “For Peace and against the imperialist blockade. Solidarity with Cuba.”
