Also for the so-called \u201c#1c4Cuba\u201d, launched by CSG, together with a group of European solidarity organizations, aimed at mobilizing a large number of bank clients to send small transactions \u2013 as little as 1 cent\/1 pence \u2013 from bank accounts from the United Kingdom or Europe, using reference words or destinations that are likely to activate the banks&#8217; sanction mechanisms against Cuba and thus make the application of blocking measures too costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For his part, Rigoberto referred to the difficult situation his country is going through due to the effects of the blockade and the aforementioned List, among other aggressive measures against Cuba reinforced in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Likewise, on behalf of ICAP and its president, the Hero of the Republic of Cuba, Fernando Gonz\u00e1lez Llort, thanked the CSG colleagues for their support and warned about the need to maintain and increase solidarity with the Cuban people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"174\"
