MY visit to Cuba in November 2022 began with discussions with Juan Carlos Marsan, Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) central committee member and deputy head of the party’s international department, together with Belkys Lay Rodriguez of its European section.
Both were eager to express their appreciation of the solidarity their country receives from dedicated campaigning bodies, trade unions, the Morning Star and the Communist Party in Britain.
They were greatly encouraged on November 3 2022 by the vote of the UN general assembly — for the 30th year in a row — against the “economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the US” on Cuba.
