French MPs ratify rejection of US blockade against Cuba French MPs ratify rejection of US blockade against Cuba Paris, May 6 (Prensa Latina) Members of the France-Cuba Friendship Group of the French National Assembly on Thursday reiterated their condemnation of the US economic, commercial and financial blockade against the country, on participating in a parliamentary exchange with Cuban colleagues. In the meeting held by videoconference, French lawmakers also presented their actions in view of a new vote in the UN General Assembly, scheduled for June 23, on a draft resolution on the need to put an end to the blockade, an initiative similar to the one adopted in that forum 28 times since 1992.
