In a statement issued at the end of its general assembly in the southern city of Toulouse, the solidarity organization founded in 1961 also demanded Washington to return the territory occupied by the Guantanamo naval base against the will of the island.

   France Cuba stressed that these demands are part of the line of the organization, a senior group in the solidarity with the Caribbean country on French soil and one of the oldest of its kind in the world.

The association condemned the blockade and its intensification with more than 240 measures by the Donald Trump administration, as well as the escalation in its application in times of the global pandemic of Covid-19, which it considered an ignoble behavior.

   Regarding those hostile measures against Cuba, he warned that the decision of Joseph Biden’s administration to reverse some of them does not represent a change in policy toward the island.
