When we talk about solidarity with the island, we have to forget about the acronyms or logos of our organizations, and be clear that the objective is to support it, he said in a media marathon organized by the Europe for Cuba channel to denounce and condemn Washington’s economic, commercial and financial siege for 24 uninterrupted hours.

According to the member of the Left Group, the work against the U.S. blockade will be stronger in the European Parliament, the UN or any other sphere if there is an active movement that pressures and seeks alliances beyond its political environment. If each one of us fights the battle from our own trenches, we will be more effective and productive in this struggle, he insisted.

In his participation in the initiative, Pineda denounced that Cuba has to overcome a blockade of more than 60 years, which prevents it from having access to basic supplies for its population and from trading under normal conditions.

Despite U.S. policy and its impact, the island is betting on health, education and housing, and is at the forefront in some of these sectors, he said.
