A diplomat source told today that sectors such as education, sport and culture are traditionally affected by the United States blockade to Cuba.  

The main impact in these fields has been the difficulty of Cuban entities to have access to technology and spaces for participation as well as the increase in costs due to the high charter fees for distant markets.  

An information report of the Permanent Cuban Mission in the United Nations notified that the blockade stops the access of Cuba to main servers of videoconferences such as Zoom, Skype and Cisco, which makes the participation of students and professors in international forums, impossible.   

The delay or denial of visas, on the part of the United States has made the attendance of Cuban sports people to events, very difficult. It was so for the male basketball team, that could not attend the Classification for the America Cup 2022 in Puerto Rico.

Marketing for Cuban music has to be paid through a third country with US clients, what makes operations more expensive and reduces incomes on the Cuban part, also the dissuasive effect of these coercive measures makes the presence of cultural products in new markets, difficult.

Cuban filmakers are obliged to join a foreign producer to get the corresponding licenses to the technology developed by the US company DOLBY, vital for the international insertion of the audiovisual works 

 It is six years now since the institutionalization of the US blockade that includes an extensive set of coercive measures against a nation in contemporary history.  

This year marks six decades since the institutionalization of the US blockade, which constitutes the broadest and longest-standing set of coercive measures against a nation in contemporary history.
