Cuban Solidarity with the World Praised in Italy

HAVANA, Cuba, March 18 (acn) Cuba's solidarity toward needy peoples in the world was praised in Italy during a meeting in solidarity with the archipelago, Venezuela, and Bolivia, under the slogan "On behalf of those who resist".

The meeting took place in the Italian workers' neighbourhood of San Lorenzo, organized by the Communist Left of the Communist Re-foundation Party (PRC) of Italy.

In the presence of some one hundred people, mainly young, speakers talked about the work carried out by Havana's Latin American School of Medicine in the training of doctors, and the integration projects of the Bolivarian Alternative for The Americas (ALBA). They also advocated for the spreading of these results, systematically hidden by the corporate media in the world, dominated by imperialist transnational companies of information.

They also highlighted Operation Miracle -a Venezuelan-Cuban program aimed at restoring the vision of people with low resources- and the Cuban literacy teaching method, Yes, I Can.

Acting as panellists at the activity were Bolivian ambassador Esteban Elmer Catarina; the chargé d'affaires of the Venezuelan embassy, Yvelise Martínez Graffe; and the third secretary of the Cuban embassy, Gerardo Soler.

Also on the panel were Gianluigi Pegolo and Ramón Mantovani, representing the Secretariat and the National Leadership of the PRC, respectively; journalist Lucio Manisco; and Alessandro Cardulli, director of the on-line magazine Dazebao, who acted as moderator.

Other issues discussed during the meeting were the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution and the revolutionary processes currently being developed in Latin America, particularly in Venezuela and Bolivia.

Emphasis was made on the new Bolivian Constitution and the recent victory of the Venezuelan people and of President Hugo Chávez in the constitutional referendum held in January.
