Organizations in El Salvador have called for a Solidarity Caravan with Cuba on March 21, 2026, to condemn the aggressive policy of the United States.

Under the slogan "#Cuba is NOT a threat," participants will embark on a route starting from the Minerva at the University of El Salvador (UES) at 1:30 p.m. local time, heading to the diplomatic headquarters of the Caribbean nation in the capital.

El Salvador has a historic solidarity movement comprised of war veterans who were treated in Cuban medical centers, physicians who graduated from the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM), and members of social and political organizations, among others.

In recent days, these groups have expressed their condemnation of the White House's policy of intensifying the blockade against the Cuban people and government through restrictions on oil trade and the targeting of Cuba's medical cooperation around the world, particularly in Latin America.

The Operation Miracle Solidarity Network condemned Washington's pressures aimed at preventing the continuation of collaborative medical assistance in more than 56 countries.

Likewise, the Palestinian Union of Latin America (UPAL) expressed "its deep concern over the growing political campaign aimed at discrediting and dismantling Cuba's international medical cooperation in our region."

"What we are witnessing today is not a health debate, but a political offensive driven primarily from Washington to pressure Latin American governments to break or limit these cooperation programs," it added.

Meanwhile, Salvadoran lawyer and activist Raúl "Logan" Martínez lamented the White House campaign that seeks to isolate Cuba, arguing that what it achieves instead is isolating the most vulnerable populations in the region regarding access to healthcare, by politicizing the issue of health.

"We Salvadorans who have been beneficiaries of Operation Miracle, doctors graduated from ELAM, among other contributions, condemn this policy against Cuba," he emphasized.
