Puerto Ricans Leonardo Cruz Morales and Grabiel Curet Soto held a pleasant, frank and supportive meeting with members of the provincial secretariat of the Cuban Workers Federation (CTC, in Spanish abbreviation) in Guantanamo.
The friends of Cuba, who arrived in this eastern province to participate in the May Day parade, also exchanged with workers, retirees and union leaders, in a dialogue where respect and admiration for the Cuban Revolution and the inhabitants of this province prevailed.
This is the first trip of Grabiel Curet Soto to the Cuban island, and he expressed that it will not be the last trip since solidarity and love for this land are enough motivations to return.
For his part, Leonardo Cruz Morales explained that he feels like one more Cuban, since for more than seven years he has participated in the parades for the World Proletariat Day in Guantanamo, and highlighted education and the health system among the main achievements of the nation that must be defended at all costs.
The friends of Puerto Rico also advocated for the immediate end of the unjust blockade that the United States government maintains against the island, a criminal siege on which more and more voices are rising demanding its end.
Sponsored by the CTC and the Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP) in Guantanamo, the meeting became a day of love and strengthening of the ties of brotherhood between these two sister islands: Cuba and Puerto Rico.][/bg_collapse]
