HAVANA, Cuba. – The members of the Jose Marti European Brigade of volunteer work and solidarity denounced the infamous blockade imposed on Cuba, and expressed their strongest rejection of the hostile policy of the empire against the Cuban people.

In the closing ceremony of their stay on the island, the youth expressed in a statement that the subversive campaigns against Cuba must cease and claimed the return of the territory illegally occupied in Guantanamo by the Yankee Naval Base.

We have known the Cuban reality, the text reads, and we believe there is no reason to harass the people of the island that works and strives hard to update their economic model.

In its statement, the Jose Marti European Brigade supports the revolutionary process in Venezuela and rejects the fascist violence imposed by a recalcitrant opposition responding submissively to the Empire´s designs.
