Miami Meeting Boosts Fight Against U.S. Blockade of Cuba

from #WorldOutlook

October 25, 2025

The four panelists stressed the extremely difficult conditions the people of #Cuba are facing because of the [...] #US blockade and sanctions. Romer spoke of the lack of food, problems with the water supply, and recent emigration of 15 percent of the population. “Grandmothers are raising kids whose parents have left the island,” she said.

Despite Cuba being a place that is “care-focused vs. production focused,” Romer added, “everything is really bad…. We’ve got to end the blockade! And the fight to do that inside the US will be decisive.”

“What matters most,” explained Jihad, “is that Cuba faces its contradictions and resolves them. The revolution is referred to in the present tense in Cuba.”
