class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paris, Apr 20 (Prensa Latina) French parliamentary leader Andr\u00e9 Chassaigne on Monday called to join the world efforts against the United States-imposed blockade against Cuba, which he described as unacceptable and murderous.<br>It is important to boost the movement of solidarity with Cuba and coordinate several campaigns, because although the blockade has always been outrageous, it is more so now, at a time when we all are fighting the Covid-19 pandemic, the lawmaker from the central department of Puy-de-Dome told Prensa Latina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the member of the Communist Party of France, Washington&#8217;s blockade is ignoble, because it prevents the Cuban people from accessing the means to fight the coronavirus and hinders their solidarity with other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In France we see a broad work by organizations such as Cuba Si France, France-Cuba and Cuba Cooperation France, which spread information and make demands, he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chassaigne said that social networks are a key battlefield to condemn the US aggressiveness against Cuba and demand an end to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He lauded Cuba&#8217;s gesture of responding again to the call from other peoples who need medical help, on this occasion against Covid-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cuba&#8217;s solidarity is again exemplary and has reached several places, including Europe, with health brigades in Italy and Andorra, where they share their experiences and their capacity, he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"
