The Europe for Cuba channel confirmed today that its second international meeting of solidarity with the island and condemnation of the U.S. blockade will be held in the Spanish city of Bilbao from January 26 to 28, a forum that will define new actions against that policy.
The coordinators of the platform, José Antonio Toledo, Haydeline Díaz and Patricia Pérez, explained to Prensa Latina the expectations for the event where more than 150 delegates are expected to participate.
Parliamentarians and representatives of solidarity associations, trade unions and political forces will animate the Bilbao meeting that will review the activities organized in the last year by the channel, after the first meeting held in early 2023 in Seville.
Although it is a European forum, the participation of Latin American delegations will be large, said the coordinators of the channel.
According to Toledo, Díaz and Pérez, the actions of denunciation and rejection of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States on Cuba will be the focus of the debates, which will also include support for causes such as those of Venezuela and Palestine, subjected these days to a new Israeli aggression.
The Europe for Cuba channel developed in the last nine months the campaign “Tsunami against the blockade”, which will culminate precisely in Bilbao, after touring several continents with messages on social networks, mobilizations and shipments of solidarity cargo to the Antillean nation.
According to the organizers, the second international meeting of solidarity with the island will culminate with a final declaration, carrying the consensus and the agreed activities.
The event’s program includes tributes to revolutionary leaders Fidel Castro (1926-2016) and Hugo Chávez (1954-2013) and a floral tribute to Cuban national hero José Martí (1853-1895), on January 28th, 171st anniversary of his birth.
