Left-wing groups in the Spanish Congress of Deputies presented an institutional initiative urging the central government to support Cuba, according to sources in Madrid.
Parliamentarians from across the Spanish left, with the exception of the Socialists of the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party), called for the activation of diplomatic and institutional support mechanisms for Cuba.
The proposal requests that the National Government assume an active role with the United States administration and demand the lifting of coercive measures, economic sanctions, and the trade embargo that severely affects the Cuban population.
Furthermore, the Seville Provincial Council approved a budget allocation of over €1.5 million for international cooperation projects for development and emergency humanitarian aid, which includes Cuba.
Among the recipients of these public funds, in addition to Cuba, are the Gaza Strip, Venezuela, and various developing countries, with the aim of subsidizing essential projects, sanitation, and social development initiatives implemented by NGOs.
