This group will be named after Diana Aron, a Chilean journalist for the El Rebelde clandestine newspaper and a member of the Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (Revolutionary Left Movement-MIR), who was detained and disappeared in 1975 during the Augusto Pinochet dictatorship.

The Network aims to exchange information, materials, and analyses about the island, to highlight Cuban reality, its culture, social achievements, and challenges to its development, as well as foster solidarity and share its contributions with the peoples of the world.

Ricardo Ronquillo, president of the Union of Cuban Journalists (UPEC), expressed, in a videoconference, his gratitude for this collaboration between the left-wing and progressive media forces and his country’s public media system to face the first stage of the war in the Caribbean nation.

Ronquillo denounced the United States for combining the economic and oil siege, which he described as a genocide, with a policy of discrediting the leaders of the Revolution.
