On behalf of the National Executive Committee and the militants, the JFA expressed its willingness to share the different ways in which it can cooperate from Costa Rica.

In a message of solidarity, the youth organization of the Frente Amplio (Broad Front) party praises the quick reaction of countries such as Mexico and Venezuela, which responded to the request for help and showed solidarity by sending technical and material assistance.

“We hope that more countries will not only respond to the humanitarian appeal at this moment, but also oppose the (United States) economic blockade against the island, which has been hurting human rights for more than 60 years,” the JFA stressed.

Press reports from Cuba refer that the critical combustion processes in the oil storage tanks at the Matanzas Supertanker Base have complicated the actions to fight the raging fire, after more than 72 hours of unleashing, due to an electrical discharge.
