Support for Cuba against US blockade grows in Colombia

In Colombia, activists and intellectuals are multiplying messages of support for Cuba and rejection of the intensification of the economic, financial, and commercial blockade imposed by the United States on the island.

Bogota, February 16 (Prensa Latina) – Expressions of solidarity with Cuba are increasing in Colombia, where activists and intellectuals reject the intensification of the economic, financial, and commercial blockade imposed by the United States on the Caribbean nation.

These messages underscore the growing opposition to the restrictive measures affecting Cuba. According to reports, such voices come from various sectors in the South American country, emphasizing the impact of the prolonged embargo.

The blockade, in place for decades, remains a point of contention in international relations. In Colombia, this trend reflects sustained support for Cuban sovereignty against US policies.

The Mexican newspaper La Jornada has devoted its front page to highlighting the Cuban people's resistance and the island's government and population denunciations against the US-imposed energy blockade. This coverage, published on February 8, 2026, in Mexico City, underscores Cuba's steadfastness amid external pressures. It aligns with reports of the United States intensifying a prolonged attrition strategy to force internal changes in Cuba.

Political leaders, parliamentarians, and international organizations have expressed solidarity with Cuba in response to President Donald Trump's recent executive order imposing sanctions to obstruct oil supplies to the island. This measure intensifies the over-six-decade economic blockade against Cuba, condemned annually by the UN General Assembly since 1992. Countries like Mexico, Russia, China, and Venezuela, along with multilateral groups, have rejected the action and offered support.

On January 29, 2026, the US administration signed an Executive Order declaring a 'national emergency' and imposing sanctions on any country supplying oil to Cuba. The measure is framed as a response to alleged threats from Cuba, though it lacks concrete evidence. The intensified economic blockade severely impacts the Cuban population, worsening shortages of medicines and fuel.
