Brasilia, Brazil.-While Donald Trump was delivering a speech in Miami with a hostile rhetoric, the 23rd Brazilian Convention of Solidarity with Cuba endorsed the message sent by liberation theologian Frei Betto invoking unlimited support for the island.

Cuba deserves the most unrestricted solidarity, because it has consolidated a revolution and a socialist project characterized by solidarity, which translates into the assistance provided to more than 100 countries by sending doctors and teachers to the most remote areas to care for the most impoverished people, the friar stated.

Strengthening solidarity with Cuba is ‘a moral and political duty in a world globalized by capitalism,’ Frei Betto said in his letter to the forum, at which nearly 200 delegates from 17 states and the Federal District committed to adopting a motion to repudiate the anti-Cuban measures announced by Trump.

We repudiate the explicit hypocrisy expressed in the unilateral decision to break the historic agreement between Cuba and the United States reached during the Barack Obama administration, with which the will of 82 percent of U.S. citizens to end the criminal blockade is unheard. That has brought irreparable losses to the Cuban government and people,’ the text stressed.

The manifesto deplored the fact of announcing the ‘pretentious and aggressive measure’ in a city, Miami, that is recognized as the den of financing, offensive plans and refuge of terrorism, not only against Cuba, but also against other brother countries such as Venezuela.

The motion of condemnation of the so-called ‘National Security Presidential Memorandum on Strengthening the Policy of the United States towards Cuba’ also echoed the Belo Horizonte Charter, the final document of the meeting that paid special tribute to the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro Ruz, for three days.

The Charter demands, in one of its parts the immediate end to the economic, financial and commercial blockade that the White House has imposed on Cuba for more than 50 years and that the U.S. government itself has recognized as a failure.

It also calls for an end to the illegal occupation of Guantanamo Bay and the return of that territory illegally occupied to establish a U.S. naval base there, as well as the end to the broadcasts by the so-called Radio and Television Marti, which violate the international communications standards.

The document also expresses unconditional support for the Cuban people, who are ‘convinced that the new generations will not renounce the ethical principles and legacy values’ made by their historic leaders and related to the peoples of our Americas and the world.

The participants in the solidarity meeting also committed to denouncing, by all possible means, the subversion and destabilization programs that CIA, USAID, NED and other U.S. agencies are organizing in conjunction with Miami-based counterrevolutionary groups.

In addition to the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, the 23rd Brazilian Convention of Solidarity with Cuba paid tribute to guerrilla fighter Ernesto Che Guevara, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his assassaination in Bolivia.

Participants decided that the next meeting of this kind will be held in Santos (Sao Paulo) in 2019.
