Cubans prepare their legs and Guantanamo residents are ready. The upcoming September 9, when the Radio Reloj national radio station announces the start, thousands of people will run and walk for the elimination of the US blockade against Cuba.
The beginning of the 2017 international campaign will become a denunciation against the hostile US policy which lasts over half a century against the Cuban people.
To that end, and welcoming the 57th anniversary of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR), CDR members, young people, children, sports enthusiasts and people in general will take the avenues and streets to reject the American actions against the archipelago.
In the preparations for this race-walk, the CDR, the Sports sector and other organizations, such as the Young Communists League, the University Students´ Federation and the High School Organization among others, are working on the organization.
Dr. Gladys Bequer, vice-president of INDER, offered some examples of the damages caused by the blockade to the national sport in the last stage, with the defaults of what was won by the Cuban team attending the 4th World Classic, amounting to 300 thousand dollars, although the US Office of Foreign Assets Control gave permission.
