Miami, May 15, 2008. Cuban Democratic Directorate. The Fourth Conference for the International Group for Corporate Social Responsibility in Cuba (GIRSCC) commenced yesterday in San Jose, Costa Rica. The conference ends May 15^th, counted on the participation of both Latin America and Europe countries, as well as representation from the United States. The purpose of the conference was to debate the social role of the independent unions in Cuba and the Americas, the need to foment international solidarity as a strategy to consolidate democracies in Latin America, and rescue Cuba from totalitarianism.

During the conference, GIRSCC gave an honorable recognition to former president of Costa Rica, Luis Alberto Monge for his struggle in favor of Cuban workers and democracy in Cuba.

“It’s important for all those who want democracy in Cuba and especially one of the former presidents that have struggled for the Cuba thematic, as did President Luis Alberto Monge”, expressed by Maria de Milagro Mendez Castro, leader of the Costa Rican Committee for Solidarity with Cuba.

GRSCC was created in Madrid, Spain in 2005. The GIRSCC promotes and supports the improvement of the living conditions of Cuban workers and condemns the violations of human rights committed by the Castro regime. The GIRSCC looks to promote internationally the right of the Cuban workers before the institutions that take care of these issues around the world.

“The conference has been a success, we have faith that through these efforts the independent Cuban unions can continue to be recognized”, affirmed Yoel Brito, executive of GIRSCC.

This conference took place within the frame work of the “Jornada Mundial Hacia la Republica” that is taking place internationally between the 13^th and the 25^th of May in solidarity with the Cuban opposition and political prisoners.
