The document, signed by Free Cubans in Zaragoza, Cubans for Progress and Integration in Valencia, Cuban-Cordovan Association for Democracy, among others, highlights that the purpose of the call is “to commemorate the events that occurred on July 11 last year on the Island; a date in which the Cuban people were filled with courage and glory, taking to the streets to denounce the terrible conditions in which they have to subsist, in a just demand for change and freedom, facing bare-chested the repressive forces of the dictatorship”.
“We do not forget the exiles who today make up an immense diaspora that refuses to renounce duty and the desire for a sovereign land. We do not allow ourselves to forget an entire people, on 11J the fight continues,” the statement added.
By decision of the European-Cuban council, Madrid will be the headquarters of the organizations that make up the council to carry out the days of 11J.
