LA HABANA — American actor Danny Glover announced Friday in Havana that next trip to Honduras to support student resistance against the coup that overthrew President Manuel Zelaya.
. "I hope soon to travel to Honduras and support students, university students, because we have to play a role of support for democratic government" overthrown on June 28, said the actor told reporters. Glover, 63, stressed the need to "work hard in that sense, a matter of principle, it comes to defending democracy." He said his trip would be "within a delegation," whose composition did not specify.
He arrived in Havana with his friend and colleague Harry Belafonte to participate in the inauguration of the Caribbean Film itinerant shows, a multinational project, supported by UN agencies.
Asked about the U.S. embargo imposed on Cuba for 47 years and the measures taken by the senses to relax Barack Obama, Glover said: "Most Americans are against the embargo, is a measure worn out, but do not think its repeal will be fast. "I will not comment on Obama's measures " he added, it is a very complex issue in U.S. politics, where they debate whether to "act more rationally or increase aggression" towards Havana. But "we must give our support critical to everything that is going to weaken the embargo," he said.
