More than 100 attendees, including professors and the public, listened attentively to the opening remarks made by Cuban Ambassador to Brazil Victor Cairo and asked questions.

Held at the Blue Auditorium of the Faculty of Economics, Administration, Accounting, and Public Policy Management, the meeting served as the inaugural lecture for the course “Cuban Socio-Historical Process and Current Context.”

Prensa Latina informed that those who asked the questions showed a marked interest in learning more about Cuba and the harm caused by the US blockade in diverse sectors.

They also inquired about Cuba’s relationship with its emigration and the current situation regarding the oil shortage caused by US President Donald Trump’s threats to impose additional tariffs on countries that supply that product to the island.

Cairo thanked the participants for their expressions of solidarity and emphasized the importance of these academic events for disseminating the truth about his country.
