Jose Manzaneda, coordinator of Cubainformacion, sent a release to Prensa Latina in which he highlighted the support of 547 prominent figures in denouncing the US Government’s policy of stifling the Cuban people.

This initiative was launched by the State Movement of Solidarity with Cuba (MESC), which joins other similar movements, such as “Let Cuba Live,” also spearheaded by prominent figures in US culture.

Renowned actors and filmmakers such as Javier Bardem, Juan Diego Botto, Alberto Sanjuan, Carlos Bardem, Willy Toledo, and Luis Tosar, and musicians Marwan, Ismael Serrano, Cristina del Valle, and Juan Gomez “El Kanka” are among those supporting the document for Cuba.

The document also includes poets Luis Garcia Montero and Belen Gopegui from the literary world, and journalists Olga Rodriguez, Javier Gallego, Juan Luis Cano “Gomaespuma,” Carlos Enrique Bayo, and Ignacio Ramonet, among others.

The text details how US President Donald Trump is promoting measures designed to create a situation of hunger and suffering in Cuba.

It notes that the latest “emergency” Executive Order prevents Cuba, a small island and sovereign nation, from importing oil or any other energy source essential for sustaining daily life.
