They carried placards in support of Cuba and against the U.S. blockade of the island. A declaration was read in the name of some 30 Spanish social organisations, including the Ernesto Guevara Corredor del Henares-Cuba Friendship Association; the Bartolem� de las Casas Hispanic-Cuba Friendship Association; the Pablo de la Torriente Brau Cultural Association; the Peoples of America Casa; IU Madrid; Caum; AFAPP; and Friends of the Sahara. The document states: "We are taking the opportunity of the 26th of July to reaffirm our solidarity with the Cuban Revolution and continue denouncing the blockade of Cuba, as well as denouncing neoliberalism and the politics and ideologies that attempt to perpetuate capitalism." Another part of the declaration reads: "We must also denounce the measures, statements and involvement of the Spanish government (the first to help Mr. Bush in his arms race) in U.S. policy. When President Bush visited our country, Aznar acted like a complete lackey and thanked President Bush for his sensitivity towards Latin America." _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
