Ignacio Bardesio, a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Uruguay, spoke about the historical ties that unite the two countries and the shared ideals of their national heroes, Jose Artigas and Jose Marti.

Cuban emigre Yeline Sanchez spoke, emphasizing the significance of the attack on the Moncada Garrison on July 26, 1953, led by Fidel Castro, “to keep alive Jose Marti’s ideas.”

Freddy Gonzalez, Minister Counselor of the Cuban Embassy, denounced the administration of US President Donald Trump for tightening the blockade and fabricating pretexts to continue its policy of stifling the Cuban people.

The profits from La Fabrica are used, on the last Tuesday of each month, to raise funds to support the Cubans’ resistance.
