Health assistance is available for Cubans, as well.
We will also refer to the civil rights we enjoy, also enshrined in our Carta Magna. There are plenty of examples of the benefits of the Revolution, which are unfortunately unknown in several parts of the world because reactionary governments try to hide them away, he added.
The Summit of the Americas, to be held April 10th to 11th, is a meeting of heads of states and governments of the continent to organize a joint strategy so as to solve the problems of the region, as it’s stated by its sponsor, the Organization of American States.
