The event will be held on Sunday, June 28, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. in Pariser Platz, in front of the iconic Brandenburg Gate, under the slogan \u201cHands Off Latin America, Hands Off Cuba!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A statement from \u201cCuba S\u00ed\u201d emphasizes that the United States\u2019 National Security Strategy, published in December 2025, has declared the \u201cWestern Hemisphere\u201d its exclusive sphere of influence, leading to a tightening of the economic blockade and threats of direct military intervention. The organization denounces the Trump administration\u2019s de facto oil embargo, which aims to cripple the Cuban economy, causing a humanitarian crisis that affects the supply of electricity, water, food, transportation, as well as education and healthcare, with hundreds of thousands of people awaiting surgery in hospitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The statement recalls that, despite more than six decades of aggression, Cuba maintains its revolutionary achievements in health, education, and international solidarity, and that this very resistance makes the island a \u201cthorn in the side\u201d for imperialism. \u201cCuba S\u00ed\u201d demands the immediate end to the illegal and genocidal blockade, as well as the end of all threats of war, and defends the application of international law against the law of the strongest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Confirmed speakers include S\u00f6ren Pellmann, president of the Left Party\u2019s parliamentary group in the Bundestag; Frank Bsirske, a prominent trade unionist; Franco Cavalli, president of Medicuba Europe; and Gesine L\u00f6tzsch, former president of the Left Party. Representatives of solidarity groups and cultural figures will also participate. The Cuban singer-songwriter Orlis Pineda, from Vallecas, will provide the musical entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The demonstration will conclude with a call to raise one\u2019s voice against the blockade and any Pentagon intervention, reaffirming that \u201cCuba is not alone\u201d and that the struggle for the island is part of the battle for a new world order based on justice, cooperation and human dignity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[ SOURCE: www.cubainformacion.tv ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, June 28, in Pariser Platz, a solidarity rally with Cuba will take place with the participation of members of parliament from Die Linke (The Left Party), trade unionists,&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11823,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[42],"class_list":["post-11822","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cuba"],"authors":[{"term_id":42,"user_id":0,"is_guest":1,"slug":"radio-habana-cuba","display_name":"Radio Habana Cuba","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&r=g","author_category":"","user_url":"","last_name":"","first_name":"","job_title":"","description":""}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11822"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11822\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11824,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11822\/revisions\/11824"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11822"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=11822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
