A call for the lifting of the criminal blockade
against Cuba was made by the United
States-Cuba International Normalization
Conference, which met in New York, with
representatives of solidarity organizations
with the Island, labor movements and
participants from the United States,
Canada, Colombia and South Africa.
The meeting promoted actions of concerted
solidarity and projection of work to
condemn the sanctions against the Cuban
Revolution, mainly those that intensify the
economic, commercial and financial siege,
such as the more than 243 measures under
the mandate of President Donald Trump
and that his successor Joe Biden maintains.
Messages from organizations from several
countries arrived at the event demanding
the cessation of hostilities against Cuba,
and social networks were activated with
greetings to the event.
At its inauguration, the permanent
representative of Cuba to the UN, Pedro
Luis Pedroso, thanked the countless displays
of sensitivity and humanism towards the
Cuban people. He invited the attendees
to exchange on the fight against the
COVID-19 pandemic, climate change
and the advancement of women.
Teresa Amarelle Boué, member of the
Political Bureau of the Communist Party
and general secretary of the Federation of
Cuban Women, as well as other members
of that organization, intervened in the
panel on issues of the advancement of
women and gender parity. There he was
updated on the analysis process of the
new Family Code in all the communities
of Cuba and the National Program for
the Advancement of Women.
The participants praised the information
received and commented on the history
of successive attacks by the White House
tenants against the Cuban family, with
which they have sought to overthrow the
Revolution.
