According to Brazil de Fato, although there are no commercial flights between both countries because of the sanitary crisis, the shipment will be transported by the Business Chamber Brazil - Cuba.
"Cuba: given the possibility of Biden easing the blockade, as Obama did, counterrevolutionaries staged protests in Havana. They want + tightening the lock. People took to the streets against Miami's paid bands. No threat to the Revolution!"
World-renowned Brazilians like Frei Betto, Fernando Morais, Eric Nepomuceno, Chico Buarque, and João Pedro Stédile are leading the initiative to help the Cuban people as the U.S. blockade severely limits the country´s ability to purchase goods amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite Jair Bolsonaro´s government voted against lifting the U.S. blockade on the Caribbean island, the Brazilian people offer a helping hand to Cuba.
