Academician Francisco Lacayo underlined the determination of Cuban scientists who were able to create their own vaccines against Covid-19, without receiving loans from international banks or supplies from the United States.

The head of the Sandinista bench in Nicaragua’s National Assembly (unicameral parliament), Edwin Castro, recently recalled the hard times experienced on the island with the Covid-19 pandemic, and how Washington stopped supplies and aid to manufacture vaccines in the Caribbean nation.

He referred to a different world if the North American country would apply the first paragraphs of its independence act, where it reassures that we are all equal and the people have the right to elect their own governments.

The day before, the coordinator of the Nicaraguan Anti-imperialist Network of Solidarity with the Peoples Augusto C. Sandino, Arturo Aguirre, pointed out that Thursday’s victory at the United Nations, constitutes an incentive to continue the struggle against Washington’s policy.
