The poet and editor Teresa Melo arrived to this nation from the island to exchange experiences and literary views with Uruguayans under the auspices of the Mario Benedetti Foundation, a bastion of culture.

Ubieta read passages about the 37 Cuban doctors he accompanied on a world health emergency stay in 2020 to one of the richest countries in the world, and of the human bond with the Italian population.

Also at the request of the hosts, the visitors said what place the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba (UNEAC) occupies in society and the support to creators in publishing houses in all territories and registration systems, contests and awards.

The Foundation’s advisor, Diane Denoir, evoked Mario Benedetti’s written legacy for an institution, with public access, that would focus on supporting young creators, human rights and the cause of those detained and disappeared under the former dictatorship.
