Members of the solidarity movement with Cuba in Brasília, alongside diplomats and staff from the Cuban embassy, raised flags and displayed slogans in the capital against the United States blockade.
The initiative took place at the Asa Delta Park, in the Asa Sul sector, where participants climbed to the top of a hill to hoist Cuban flags and unfurl messages rejecting Washington’s policy of hostility toward the Caribbean nation.
With slogans such as “No to the blockade!”, “Solidarity with Cuba,” and “Cuba is not alone,” those present turned the site into a space for supporting the Cuban people and denouncing the consequences of the coercive measures imposed by the United States.
Also present were members of the “José Martí” National Association of Cubans Residing in Brazil (Ancreb-JM), who joined the event alongside representatives of the solidarity movement with Cuba in Brasília and members of the diplomatic mission.
The messages displayed included the hashtag #CubaIsNotAThreat (#CubaNoEsUnaAmenaza), through which participants defended the island’s right to live in peace and rejected narratives that portray the country as a danger to regional security.
From the top of the hill, the flags and banners sought to convey a message of support for Cuba and opposition to the economic, commercial, and financial siege that Washington has maintained for more than six decades.
Ending the blockade is one of the primary demands of Cuban foreign policy, which highlights its detrimental effects on economic development and the living conditions of the population.
Havana maintains that these measures hinder access to resources, technologies, financing, and essential supplies. This event in Brasília is part of a broader movement of international solidarity with the island, calling for the U.S. government to end a policy that Cuba views as a violation of its sovereignty.
With flags unfurled and voices united against the blockade, the participants reaffirmed their commitment to solidarity among peoples, sending a clear message from the Brazilian capital: Cuba is not alone.
During the event, attendees also honored the memory of Cuban commander Camilo Cienfuegos (1932–1959)—marking 67 years since his disappearance—by casting flowers into Lake Paranoá, a gesture echoing the traditional tribute paid to him on the island.
This demonstration in the Brazilian capital followed a vote last Wednesday in the UN General Assembly, which once again approved a resolution—presented annually by the Caribbean nation—calling for an end to the U.S.-imposed blockade.
Despite pressure from Washington on other nations, 130 member states supported Cuba’s resolution, with several countries issuing statements demanding the lifting of this policy.
