Santo Domingo.- The Unión Clasista de Trabajadores (Classist Union of Workers) urged President Luis Abinader to reaffirm the Dominican Republic’s support for ending the U.S. economic, commercial, and financial blockade against Cuba, in place since 1962 and in violation of the United Nations Charter.

Juan Núñez, Secretary General of the union, emphasized that the blockade has caused serious harm to the Cuban population for over six decades, limiting access to medicines, food, medical equipment, raw materials, machinery, and international trade, while obstructing sustainable development.

The union reaffirmed its solidarity with Cuban workers, citizens, and government in their struggle to end the blockade and called on the Dominican government to maintain its support in line with the Constitution and the UN Charter.
