According to Tola Monroy, the campaign gathers several entities and organizations of the nine departments that Bolivia is made up, among them the Solidarity Movement with Cuba.

Both countries-he recalled- keep relationships that date from the last century, which have been strengthened thanks to the work of many generations and the appreciation showed by the Bolivian people to Cuba.

On his side, Abel Sosa Martínez, vice-president of the Instituto Cubano de Amistad con los Pueblos, stated that this gesture of solidarity encloses a huge symbolism facing adversities caused by the hardening of the blockade imposed by the United States in order to restrain the country of its main sources of income in the midst of the pandemic and the international crisis.

Meanwhile, Juan Javier Zarate Rivas, head of the Plurinational State of Bolivia´s Affairs in the island, manifested his satisfaction for being able to realize the donation as sample of reciprocity.
