There has been acoordinated campaignto attack the Cuban government and blame it for the hardships facing the Cuban people.

• Marc Vandepitte

On Sunday, July 11, Cubans took to the streets for the first time in more than twenty years to express their dismay. It seemed like a spontaneous action, but on closer inspection there’s a bigger picture here. For sixty years the US has been trying to bring about regime change. In recent years, they have been using social media and mainstream media in a sophisticated way to do so. Recent events in Cuba are a textbook example of this.

“Washington’s hysterical dedication to crush Cuba  from almost the first days of its independence in 1959  is one of the most extraordinary phenomena  of modern history, but still,  the level of petty sadism is a constant surprise.”

Directors of Cuba’s Biotechnological and Pharmaceutical Industries Enterprise Group (BioCubaFarma) denounced the impact on their research and production of the economic, financial and commercial blockade imposed on Cuba by the U.S. government.

They reported that the criminal policy specifically affects the industry’s ability to acquire raw materials, spare parts and supplies to guarantee medicines for the National Health System, and limits the progress of research projects.

The directors noted that the cost of inputs needed to manufacture candidate anti-COVID vaccines has increased. They must now be purchased through third countries, since usual suppliers have declined to continue doing business with Cuba for fear of U.S. reprisals.

The industry is affected every year in terms of research, manufacturing and…

África vive en Cuba

Hoy es el día de África, un continente lejano en la geografía, pero indisolublemente ligado a Cuba y a los cubanos.

Nuestros criollos y nuestra cultura surgen de la fusión entre los indígenas que habitaban la isla, los esclavos traídos desde ese continente y los colonizadores.

La sangre de sus habitantes corre no solo por nuestras venas, sino, además por nuestros campos libertarios.

Su arribo a las costas del Nuevo Mundo se produjo, según refieren algunos estudios, para ser utilizados como fuerza de trabajo en las plantaciones de caña y en tareas domésticas.

En los países del hemisferio occidental el comercio negrero fue acompañado, en la mayoría de los casos, por una fuerte ideología racista: los negros eran considerados seres subhumanos, jurídicamente sin derechos. Nuestras instituciones patrimoniales aún guardan con celo instrumentos de tortura que testimonian este hecho.
