Guantanamo.- Alberto Mas, a member of the Argentine Movement of Solidarity with Cuba, called in Mexico City for unified support for the island, not only regionally but globally, during an event concluding in Mexico City.Speaking with Prensa Latina, Mas described the IX Continental Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba, which has been in session since Thursday at the Los Pinos Cultural Complex, as crucial and highlighted the importance of “uniting solidarity for” the Caribbean nation.
In his opinion, the best example of unity was the campaign launched “at a small meeting, in a remote corner of South America, and went global,” which brought millions of “syringes and needles so that Cuba could vaccinate the entire population” during the pandemic.
He denounced the way in which the largest of the Antilles is being hit by the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States for more than six decades in such critical areas as the electrical energy system.
The secretary of the Argentine Club of Journalists Friends of Cuba also spoke about how they could work together through solidarity, for example, to reactivate a generator and acquire spare parts that are not sold to the island.
“Let’s find companies in our countries that can make the purchase to send it, let’s pool the money from around the world to pay for it, and let’s move forward with united action on a single point,” he explained.
In that sense, he praised the initiative of Cubans living in Mexico and the country’s solidarity movement to raise funds to purchase an oil tanker destined for the island.
