Paris, Jan 19 (Prensa Latina) French organizations spread Tuesday on social media a new call to hold a mobilization on Sunday, January 24, in Paris against the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States on Cuba.
Signed by the French Coordinating Committee of Solidarity with Cuba, this call adds to others released in the last few days to call unions, associations and friends of the island to meet at Place Jacques Rueff at the center of the Champs de Mars Garden, in front of the Eiffel Tower, in rejection of Washington's aggressiveness.
The call emphasizes that in the current scenario of Covid-19, while Cuba ratifies its internationalism by sending thousands of health professionals to fight the pandemic and saves lives in dozens of countries, the outgoing Donald Trump administration intensified blockade and its hostility.
The document recalls that Trump, who will leave office on Wednesday, January 20, prevented in times of health crisis the arrival of medical supplies, fuel and basic articles to Cuba, a policy that French organizations described as genocidal.
The call spread on social media, in addition to inviting Sunday mobilization and demanding the immediate and definitive lifting of the US siege, urges the UN to declare the blockades against sovereign nations illegal, as they are an obstacle to cooperation and peace among peoples, and the governments that 'adopt such warlike and criminal measures' must be sanctioned.
The call also asks France and the European Parliament to denounce the inclusion of Cuba in the unilateral list of countries that sponsor terrorism and acts decisively against the extraterritoriality of Washington's policy that seeks to stifle the Caribbean nation.
