Interview Osnay Colina General Secretary of the Central de Trabajadores de Cuba (Workers' Central Union of Cuba in English)

In this interview, we spoke with Osnay Colina, Secretary of the Central de Trabajadores de Cuba (English Workers' Central Union of Cuba). Osnay talks about the impacts of the blockade and the role of workers and trade unions is resisting the impacts of this genocidal policy. This episode is the second statements of interviews conducted by the Resist U.S. Led War Delegation solidarity brigade that went to Cuba in August 2026. During the solidarity mission, we were able to participate in a colloquium on the legacy and future of Fidel Castro, and learn firsthand how hybrid warfare led by the US is affecting the Cuban people and how they continue to resist under an increasing sanctions regime. We were also able to strengthen regional ties and mobilize antiwar action by joining the Zone of Peace campaign gathering in Havana. Throughout our time in the country, one of our primary goals was to amplify the voices of the Cuban people, voices of people who continue to defend their revolution and socialist project despite a crippling US embargo and an intensifying hybrid war. With the Trump administration escalating its offensive across Latin America, we believe it is more urgent than ever to share these perspectives in order to strengthen our solidarity with the people of Cuba and all of Latin America. In the coming weeks, we will release a series of interviews conducted during the solidarity delegation, as we sat down with workers, government officials, party leaders, and academics who are bravely struggling against US sanctions and fighting for their sovereignty. These interviews are mostly in Spanish, so if you don't understand the language, you can go to our YouTube channel to watch the video versions of the interviews and read the subtitles.
