Contramaestre confronts Title III of the Helms Burton Act

Contramaestre confronts Title III of the Helms Burton Act, with arguments of a Revolution that advances in spite of the pressures of the United States government.

This prosperous land of natural resources and highly educated people may well be in the crosshairs of the mean interests of citizens affected by revolutionary nationalizations or expropriations, beginning in January 1959.

For the same reasons Contramaestre people face this new aggression. With full rights of expression, they express their repudiation of the decision of the US government to give another spin to the nut that represents the economic, commercial and financial blockade.

This genocidal policy generates monetary-financial affectations, to the acquisition of technologies and teaching aids in the educational sector and hinders academic exchange programs.

In the context of the implementation of this aggressive policy, students and professors of the Willy Valcárcel Mixed School in the historical town of Baire, in Contramaestre, show the reality experienced by the Cuban people in the face of the intensification of the illegal and inhuman blockade.

With solid arguments, typical of educators trained in the heat of a revolution humanist process by excellence; this collective faces the lies of the empire, certain that they will be crushed by the reasons of Cuba.
