PARIS, France.- The French Coordinator of Solidarity with Cuba claimed the end of the blockade of the United States against the island, which for more than 50 years affects all the social sectors and prevents their economic development.

Thus indicated in a statement several associations composing that body, which met this weekend in the town of Boulzac, in central France.

In the text, activists indicated that due to their extraterritorial nature, the permanent persecution of Cuban financial transactions and banking and credit operations with Cuba on a global scale intensifies, which causes serious damage to the economy of the country.

The statement issued after the meeting also demanded the restitution to Cuba of the territory of the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, which was illegally occupied by the United States.
