The Andalusian lawmaker
listened with attention to Mirta Rodriguez during talks at
the capital Seville, and he expressed his interest in
learning about the situation of the Cuban Five, as Gerardo
Hernandez, Ramon Labañino, Fernando Gonzalez, Antonio
Guerrero and Rene Gonzalez are internationally known.
Rodriguez is visiting Seville
with a delegation made up of Cuban economist Alberto
Betancourt, the president of the Hermanos Saiz Artists’
Association Luis Morlote and Foreign Ministry official
Alberto Gonzalez.
Accompanied by the general
consul in Seville, Ulises Arranz, the delegation met with
members of the United Left party at the local government and
parliament, and they insisted in the need to fight for the
end of the US economic, commercial and financial blockade of
Cuba.
The visitors also met for over
three hours with Cubans residing in Andalusia and local
citizens. The encounter allowed for the exchange of views on
the updating of the Cuban economic model and the role of
Cuban youths in the island’s social and cultural life.
The Cuban delegation also
visited the Pablo Olavides University and offices of the
local media.
