HAVANA, Cuba.- Editors, writers and workers of Verde Olivo and Captain San Luis book-producing houses, gave a concrete response to the new imperial ignominy of prohibiting the acquisition of their texts in the United States.

In the usual Space for Collective Reflection against Blockade held at the Denouncement Memorial in Havana, Abel Prieto, director of the Marti Program Office, said that Trump’s new ban demonstrates that government’s moral ilk.

Prieto explained that Cubans would not stand by and writers would publish the texts on the Internet, take them on pen drives and discs wherever they go.

The director of the Marti Program Office added that this blockade to Cuban publishing houses shows we are in a new inquisition, this time directed and ordered by the empire, who lets see its own decline.

The Empire Fears Truth

In the usual Space for Collective Reflection against Blockade, held at the Denouncement Memorial, journalist Wilmer Rodriguez explained that in the face of this obsolete measure, Cubans could take the printed books to international stages and donate them.

Writer Enrique Perez Diaz said the empire prevents the dissemination of the texts of the Captain San Luis and Verde Olivo publishing houses in his country because they fear the Cuban reality, and pointed out there are no military editorials in the world that write for children and young people like those of Cubans do.

Isora Gutierrez, editor of Verde Olivo, recalled that it was Che Guevara´s purpose to convey the truth of the Cuban history in that publication, especially to the new generations.

Ramon Labanino, Hero of the Republic of Cuba, said that the ban on these publishing houses in the United States is a new type of inquisition.
