This hostile policy, that has caused billions of dollars in damages, interferes with the legitimate right of the Cuban people to live in peace, the document continued, and is intended to force the country to surrender to U.S. interests.
The CTC points out that maintaining the blockade affects the U.S. people as well, since they are denied the right to visit Cuba and learn about the reality here, while U.S. companies cannot maintain economic ties with the country.
Despite the damage caused by the blockade, the statement reads, it will «continue to be a useless attempt to defeat the Cuban Revolution.»
«Cuban workers will continue to search for solutions to the difficulties, making every workplace and position a bastion of resistance … based on the intelligence, creativity, and collective ingenuity of our people.»
The CTC statement also called on trade unions and friends around the world to condemn the blockade. (Taken from en.granma.cu)
