During it, the Cuban diplomat discussed the Cuban electoral process and the results of the recent elections held on April 19, she also referred to the state of relations between the US and Cuba, about the disinformation campaign that is unleashed against the people Cuba, the intensification of the genocidal blockade, its effects and how annually in the United Nations most countries support the Cuban resolution against that policy despite the fact that the US administration does not comply with what is demanded in that international organization.
