Nieto de Allende rechaza exposición de contrarrevolucionaria cubana

En un mensaje al que tuvo acceso Prensa Latina, el médico internacionalista calificó la muestra de una grotesca provocación y un insolente agravio hacia la imagen, la memoria y el legado del presidente de la Unidad Popular.

“No en nombre de Allende”, escribió Sepúlveda, y recordó que Bruguera solo destaca porque su puesta en escena es contraria políticamente a la Revolución Cubana, esa misma Revolución que tanto Allende como millones y millones de personas en Cuba y en el mundo entero admiramos, defendemos y amamos.

“Tanto más grave es la afrenta que comete el Museo de la Solidaridad al realizar esta actividad cuando se cumplen 50 años del asesinato de Salvador Allende”, afirma.

Denuncia el nieto del exmandatario que es una vergüenza tener que brillar y lucrar colgándose de la imagen de Allende pero practicar todo lo contrario, traicionando así los ideales y los principios que el Compañero Presidente vivió ejerciendo y murió defendiendo.

Ideales y principios que son idénticos a los de la Revolución Cubana, dijo, y recordó el inmenso cariño, la indestructible amistad y solidaridad que Salvador Allende tuvo siempre con Fidel Castro, el pueblo cubano y su Revolución.

“Exigimos al Museo de la Solidaridad que no utilicen el nombre de Salvador Allende para cualquier actividad contraria a sus valores, principios e ideales”, demandó.

Beijing, Jun 27 (RHC) The Biotechnological and Pharmaceutical Industries Group (BioCubaFarma) signed a new cooperation agreement with Chinese joint venture Changheber for the introduction of innovative immunotherapy for the treatment of cancer in the Asian country, it announced via Twitter.
Dr. Marta Ayala, director general of the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology of Cuba (CIGB), visited Changheber’s plant in Changchun, China, where QuimiHib vaccines are produced in phase 3 clinical trials.
During the visit, a technology transfer contract was signed for the CIGB247 project, which will allow the research, production, and development of a product for the treatment of different types of cancer. It is expected that obtaining the sanitary registration of this product in China will allow its commercialization in other countries and benefit the population of both nations.
This collaboration further strengthens relations between China and Cuba in the field of biotechnology and represents an important opportunity for cancer treatment worldwide.
Biocubafarma is the main business group in the Cuban biopharmaceutical sector, comprising more than 30 institutions.

Washington, Jun 22 (RHC) Several activists with the National Network on Cuba, CODEPINK, and IFCO/Pastors for Peace were arrested on Thursday after trying to have a meeting with New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez in his office in Washington, DC. Activists were attempting to meet with Menendez to urge him to lift the US blockade against Cuba and take Cuba off the US’s State Sponsors of Terrorism list.
In a video uploaded to her Facebook account,Ct and executive director of IFCO/Pastors for Peace Movement- is seen being led away in handcuffs by a police officer, while she explained that she only intended to speak with the senator at his office and call for the end to Cuba’s inclusion on the list of states sponsoring terrorism, as well as the normalization of U.S. relations with Cuba.
“We should be able to talk about Cuba with our representatives without being arrested,” Gail Walker says in the video, where she also explained they requested several times to meet with Menendez, but never received a response.
“We are in defense of our Cuban family because we believe this policy is unjust,” she added.
“I think it’s funny that we are always told Cuba’s a repressive dictatorship, a police state when we are getting arrested just for trying to have a conversation,” Walsh said as she was being escorted by police officers onto an elevator.
According to Walker, once activists arrived at Menendez’s office, he was out but they were told by a staffer that he would be coming back. They were later told by the chief of staff that they needed to leave and that they would be arrested. “We wanted to talk to Menendez about his policy toward Cuba, his policy of keeping Cuba unjustly on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list,” she said as she was hustled through hallways and into the elevator beside Menendez’s office.
The NNOC, IFCO, and CODEPINK are mobilizing a march, alongside other solidarity and anti-war organizations, in Washington DC this Sunday, June 25 to take Cuba off of the US State Sponsors of Terrorism list, an extreme designation that Menendez supports. (Source: Prensa Latina)

Havana, June 27 (RHC) The Minister of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba, Álvaro López Miera, and his Russian Defense counterpart Sergei Shoigu, confirmed this Tuesday the strength of their military relations.
“Without a doubt, Cuba has been and continues to be Russia’s most important ally in the region. Cuban friends confirmed their attitude towards our country, they even demonstrated their full understanding of the reasons for launching the military operation in Ukraine”, said the head of the Russian military department during the meeting held in Moscow.
He also pointed out that Russia plans to jointly develop with Cuba a series of projects in the technical-military field, and proposed a closer rapprochement.
Shoigu specified in conversations with López Miera that Russia is willing to help Cuba, subjected to the illegal economic, commercial and financial blockade by the United States for more than 60 years.
Likewise, he stressed that Russian-Cuban relations are on the rise today. Several high-level Russian delegations made official trips to Cuba this year, and Cuban Prime Minister Manuel Marrero recently paid an official visit to Russia. (Source: PL)
