The caravans staged in the United States advocate for the end of restrictions on Cuba and call for normal relations between the two countries, said a Foreign Ministry official.
Havana, Cuba.- On his Twitter account, the director-general of the United States Issues Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Carlos Fernández de Cossío, pointed out how Cuban-Americans, to end the limitations of seeing or helping their relatives, have expanded throughout the northern country, Canada, Latin America, Africa, and Europe.
In another tweet, the diplomat referred to the worldwide demand for the end of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by Washington, "a criminal and immoral policy, only sustainable because the US people are misinformed," he said.
This weekend friends from different continents and solidarity movements lead a new caravan against the siege, considered the main obstacle to the development of Cuba.
Cuban-Americans... to end restrictions on their ability to see or assist their relatives... expanded throughout the US and Canada, Latin America, Africa and Europe. #Cuba
