HAVANA, Cuba.- Parliamentarians of Europe ratified this Wednesday in Havana their willingness to strengthen actions to contribute to the lifting of the economic, commercial and financial blockade of the United States against Cuba.

MEPs reaffirmed their position during a meeting with the Vice-President of the National Assembly of People’s Power, Ana Maria Mari Machado, at the venue of the Cuban Parliament.

The president of the Nordic Green Left Group, Gabi Zimmer, expressed the parliamentarians´ interest to know about the limitations imposed by the blockade on the acquisition of equipment related to the health sector, especially the services for children.

Ana Maria Mari Machado appreciated the solidarity of the MEPs, who will remain in Cuba until next Friday, and said their visit will strengthen the links between the island and the Old Continent.
