Bolivian activists demand end to US blockade against Cuba

La Paz, Oct 5 (Prensa Latina) Bolivian activists will demand an end of the United States' economic, commercial, and financial blockade at the National Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba, which began in Valle Grande, department of Santa Cruz, on Saturday.

“Under the thought and light of Commander Ernesto Che Guevara, we will declare with one voice: No more criminal US blockade against the Cuban people,” Alidson Gomez, president of the Bolivian Movement of Solidarity with Cuba-La Paz, affirmed.

Gomez, a specialist in ophthalmology who graduated from Cuba’s Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM), told Prensa Latina that another significant demand from this forum would be Cuba’s elimination from Washington’s State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT) list.

“The whole world acknowledged that the Cuban Revolution only sends solidarity, health, and life to the world,” the physician told Prensa Latina.

She stated that dozens of delegates from all Bolivian departments are participating in the meeting, which will end on Sunday, and there are many expectations for them to present their ideas in the debates.

The organizers plan to launch the books “Mundo Che” by Argentine journalist and writer Dario Fuentes, and “El Asesinato del Che” (Che’s Assassination), published by the Bolivian Truth Commission.

The delegates will pay tribute to Commander Ernesto Che Guevara and his guerrilla comrades during a special program on Sunday in La Higuera, where the Argentinean-Cuban hero was assassinated on October 9, 1967.

On the same day, Tamara Bunke (Tania) and the members of Joaquin’s group will also be honored at the memorial known as the Guerrilla’s Tomb, in Valle Grande.

A main tribute to the heroic guerrilla on the 57th anniversary of his presence in Bolivia will take place at the Che Guevara Cultural Center on Sunday afternoon.

The Barbarroja Video Library informed that delegates to the National Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba will enjoy the audiovisual material “Che, La Eterna Mirada” (Che, the Eternal Gaze), by filmmaker Edgardo Cabezas, and a Cuban television series about Che Guevara, directed by Ernesto Bosch.
