THE Cuban ambassador to Britain, Barbara Alvarez, visited Scotland last week, a place where the Cuban struggle has enjoyed solid support for many years.
She would visit the Scottish Parliament — the first in the world to debate the plight of the Miami Five — and its Cuba cross-party group brilliantly led by former MSP Elaine Smith and now chaired by Labour’s Carol Mochan; but the first stop was Glasgow.
Her first port of call was with Glasgow’s Lord Provost, Cllr Jacqueline McLaren, to be welcomed to the city that has been twinned with Havana for over 20 years, before taking time to speak to the Morning Star about sanctions, self-determination, and the meaning of solidarity.
