“Bloque Latinoamericano“ is joining the international project “Convoy to Cuva” as the delegation from Germany. This is to fight against one of the greatest obstacles to the development of the island: the blockades which are violating international law.
The current situation in Cuba is a real vicious cycle for the population. Due to the sanctions tightened by Trump and Rubio, the country has been almost completely cut off from its energy supply. Without a stable power supply, hospitals cannot operate, and food security cannot be guaranteed. Both are essential for living a dignified life in Cuba. Without energy, however, it is basically impossible to sustain the economy.
“We see the blockade against Cuba not as an isolated event, but as part of the global aggression that we have also witnessed in recent months against Venezuela, Greenland, and Iran. All these cases are connected by the economic interests of large financial and business groups in oil, who are ready to destabilize whole regions to secure resources,” declared Grasa Guevara, spokesperson for the Bloque Latinoamericano.
On March 21st, 2026, participants from around the world will hand over their humanitarian aid, including food, medicine, and energy-supply equipment, at designated collection points on the island. On this day, numerous worldwide institutions and political organizations will gather in Cuba to work together to break the blockade and provide direct support to the local population.
“Our initiative follows the example of the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was organized as a courageous show of support for Gaza. With the convoy to Cuba, we want to reproduce this form of active, physical resistance against the blockade, to deliver material aid directly to where it is most urgently needed, and through this to foster international solidarity around the world,” added an activist from the organization.
“This flotilla is our present response to the priceless historical aid that Cuba’s doctors, engineers, and soldiers provided for the liberation of countries such as Algeria and Angola. We are firmly convinced that international solidarity is the only way forward—both for the humanitarian crisis in Cuba and against military aggression in Iran and around the world,” explains a member of the Bloque Latinoamericano.
In parallel with the arrival of the convoy in Cuba, demonstrations and protests are organized in the most important cities around the world to increase global pressure against the sanctions. Berliners are also invited to join the work of the organization. The demonstration in Berlin takes place on March 21st at 13:00 in front of the US Embassy on Pariser Platz, near the Brandenburg Gate.
