This Friday, the people demonstrated in Havana to demand their rights from the U.S. government<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 500,000 people flooded Havana’s Malecon this Friday to send, as a message across the ocean, a claim to the U.S. government against the blockade and the permanence of Cuba on the list of alleged state sponsors of terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel Berm\u00fadez, condemned U.S. President Joe Biden for continuing the hostility of his predecessor, Donald Trump, who will return to the White House in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He highlighted the arrogance to keep the Island on the aforementioned list, a doubly immoral accusation, since it comes from an administration that promotes violent actions against the largest of the Antilles and has become an asylum for the members of that machinery of hatred<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, there is no rancor against the northern people, but in the face of imperialism and its attempts to destroy our sovereignty, \u201cwe will demonstrate today, tomorrow and always,\u201d D\u00edaz-Canel assured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the presence of Army General Ra\u00fal Castro Ruz, leader of the Cuban Revolution, Yankiel Cardoso Mu\u00f1oz, president of the Ceiba-Kolhy Popular Council, demonstrated in the capital’s Playa neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained to his son Antu\u00e1n Cardoso Chaviano, with the phrase \u201cI want to grow up without a blockade\u201d on his sweater, how these measures limit his happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Yolanda Isabel Acosta Rosell, a 7-year-old student, asked her mother to take her for the first time to a mobilization of such magnitude and said: \u201cI was born here and I’m going to stay here\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colombian Silvia Juliana Casadiegos Gonz\u00e1lez has been studying at the Latin American School of Medicine since 2019, thanks to Cuba’s role in the peace process in her nation. \u201cThey have help me fulfill my dream and, for this reason, they deserve to be unblocked.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
