Havana, March 24 (Prensa Latina) The Granma 2 ship arrived in Cuba today with 14 tons of solidarity aid from Mexico, as part of the Our America Convoy.
This vessel is the first to arrive as part of the Solidarity Convoy, with aid collected by civil organizations, and brought mostly food, medical supplies, medicines and renewable energy equipment, such as solar panels.
The solidarity vessel, with 32 passengers of various nationalities, is named Maguro, but was renamed Granma 2 by the activists.
Thiago de Ávila, leading the crew, stressed that they will not yield to pressure from the United States, and will defend the right to peace and self-determination of the peoples of Cuba, Venezuela, Brazil, Palestine, Iran, Yemen and all those who are attacked in any way by Washington.
The people of Cuba have the right to live in peace, and for all these reasons and out of solidarity, we are mobilizing, the activist and influencer said.
At the Havana Bay Cruise Terminal, they were greeted by local authorities and members of the Our America Convoy who had arrived earlier by air.
It is also expected that other ships with solidarity aid linked to the Convoy will continue to arrive.
