Latin American solidarity with Cuba

Overview

Chilean writers and Latin American artists have mobilized in Chile to express solidarity with the Cuban people. Initially, a group of Chilean intellectuals issued a call for solidarity, arguing that the international community should not remain indifferent to Cuba’s historical transformations and criticizing efforts to isolate the island from the Americas.

This movement expanded into public demonstrations in Santiago, where artists gathered to celebrate Cuban Culture Day. During these events, performers and organizers highlighted the humanitarian impact of the ongoing economic, commercial, financial, and energy blockade. Specifically, the association Raíces Cubanas issued a declaration condemning recent executive orders regarding petroleum supply tariffs and sanctions, characterizing them as an “act of aggression” that disproportionately affects vulnerable populations, including the elderly and the sick.
