Peace is seriously threatened on all five continents, María do Socorro Gomes, president of the World Peace Council, said in Guantánamo at a Solidarity Meeting a few hours after the opening of the Fifth International Peace Seminar and for the Abolition of Foreign Military Bases, from the 4th to the 6th of May in the eastern most Cuban province.
"If we look now," the Brazilian pacifist emphasized, “President Trump attacked Syria with false arguments, proceeding outside international law, outside the law and I think there is only one way to save concord: the promotion of an education of unity among peoples. "
According to Socorro Gomes the event in the east of the island is emblematic, because it strengthens the conviction of this necessary unity, helps to raise awareness about the dismantling of nuclear and chemical weapons, military camps and North American fleets and to know worldwide that hegemonic politics is a threat.
In the Cuban Friendship Institute’s headquarters, the visitor praised the example of humanism in Cuba, which instead of sharing bombs and death around the world, provides health, education and love.
During the exchange, activists from the labor movement of Puerto Rico and the committee of friends Switzerland / France, trade union leaders of the territory and innovators of the city, participated, who showed how they solve problems caused by the sustained economic, financial and commercial blockade of the U.S. administrations for more than half a century.
The Cuban Association of Innovators (ANIR) created by Che 40 years ago and promoted by Fidel, is composed in the province of about 12 thousand members and is attended by the Cuban Worker’s Federation (CTC, in Spanish).
Puerto Ricans Leonardo Cruz Morales, Rubén Almodóvar, Mario Vega and Oscar Segarra were interested in non-state workers, who have the right in Cuba to join the CTC, maternity, retirement and other rights as the rest of the workers.
The Solidarity Meeting in Guantanamo took place amidst the preparations for the Peace Seminar and the Abolition of Foreign Military Bases, which in Cuba's case remains in Caimanera Bay against the will of the people and the government.
