Protests by U.S. citizens and peace organizations have taken place this weekend in the cities of New Haven, Hartford and Middletown, requesting that the U.S. government ends the blockade against Cuba.
They also demanded peace for Eastern Europe and an ending for the ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis, which Washington and its NATO allies have instigated.
Americans have pronounced over the criminal blockade imposed on Cuba for six decades by the U.S. government amidst the current crisis in the European continent and the campaigns arguing in favor of U.S. hegemony.
At the protests, U.S. politician Rosa De Lauro, a liberal Democratic representative for the state of Connecticut, and Benjamin Florsheim, mayor of the city of Middletown, attended. Furthermore, John Jairo Lugo, co-founder and Community Organizing Director of the Latin Unity in Action movement (ULA) in New Haven, participated in the protests. He qualified the U.S. policy against the island as acts of terrorism and genocide.
