A demonstration in Pamplona, marking Aberri Eguna (Basque Homeland Day), served to reiterate support for Cuba, which is being further reinforced by solidarity shipments this week.
According to the Cubainformación website, the event, organized by the EH Bildu party, served as a twofold internationalist gesture, with a prominent presence of solidarity with Cuba in Spain.
At the start of the march, the source indicated, a Cuban citizen residing in the Basque Country, along with a Palestinian, carried a shared symbol (the “txori,” or bird, from Pablo Picasso’s painting Guernica, an icon of peace), demonstrating support for the people of Cuba and Palestine.
Both subjected to aggression and blockade by the United States and Israeli Zionism, this action for Cuba and Palestine aimed to underscore the connection between the struggles of the world’s peoples for their freedom and self-determination.
The source also specified that 10,000 flyers for the “Argia eta Indarra Kubarentzat” (Light and Strength for Cuba) campaign, promoted by Euskal Herria Ekimena and the Euskadi-Cuba association, were distributed during the mobilization.
This initiative aims to raise funds for the purchase of solar installations for hospitals on the island, in order to mitigate the effects of the energy crisis caused by the economic blockade and exacerbated by the oil embargo, both imposed by the US government.
On the other hand, the SoDePaz association announced that on April 7 and 9 it will prepare containers destined for nursing homes in Las Tunas and the Baracoa Health System, both in eastern Cuba, from Torrejón de Ardoz, in the Madrid region.
