Solidarity with Cuba in Brazil
Florianopolis, Brazil - The 17th National
Convention of Solidarity with Cuba in Brazil begins
its working sessions Thursday, with the presentation
of reports by the different associations supporting
the island.
Today's session also includes the conference Cuba:
50 years of Victory, by Gen. Harry Villegas (Pombo),
member of the Association of Cuban Combatants, and
survivor of the Ernesto Che Guevara Guerrilla in
Bolivia.
During the convention's inauguration last night at
the headquarters of the Florianopolis Legislative
Assembly, the over 200 participants greeted the 50
years of the Cuban Revolution, and reiterated their
support for the island.
When welcoming the delegates, Edison Fuente,
president of the Jose Marti Cultural Association in
Santa Catarina, venue of the event, affirmed it is
an honor for them to celebrate the 50 years of the
Cuban revolutionary process, which continues being a
symbol for all the peoples.
He reiterated Brazilian support for the Cuban
people's battle against the nearly 50-year-old US
blockade, and for the release of the five Cuban
anti-terrorists unfairly imprisoned in the US.
The Convention will close Saturday with the
selection of the coming venue and the approval of
resolutions paving the way for the work until the
next meeting. |
