Ana C. Carvalhaes, Israel Dutra, João Machado, Manuel Rodríguez Banchs — 2026-02-13T18:09:32Z

The neo-fascist in the White House is attempting to bring the Caribbean island and its government to its knees, strangling it economically once and for all, killing its people with darkness and scarcity. But this is not “just” a war against Cuba and its revolutionary tradition. It is the continuation of the war against the sovereignty of all Latin American countries and Latino peoples within the United States. Scheinbaum, Lula, Petro, Orsi and the social democratic governments must emphatically oppose this crime in all international forums and organisations.

The case of the young artist Abel Lescay in Cuba

Lisbeth Moya — 2021-12-07T05:04:47Z

“I call on the international left militancy and those who read this text not to hesitate to investigate and support the cause of the political prisoners in Cuba.
