The political leader of Grenada’s Democratic People’s Movement (DPM), Peter David, issued a call to uphold solidarity with Cuba during his organization’s most recent congress in Saint George, denouncing the responsibility of the United States in the crisis facing the island. His remarks focused on the need to preserve Caribbean unity in the face of external pressures.
In his address, the Grenadian parliamentarian emphasized that Cuba’s difficult situation cannot be understood without considering the direct impact of sanctions and hostile measures imposed by Washington. David stressed that these policies have restricted Cuba’s access to basic resources and affected the daily lives of millions of people.
The Grenadian leader recalled that U.S. hostility toward Cuba has persisted for more than six decades through an economic blockade that has caused food shortages, difficulties in the health system, and constraints on energy development.
The former foreign minister also highlighted that Cuba has been a steadfast friend to the Caribbean, making decisive contributions in health, education, and culture. The DPM leader insisted that abandoning Cuba would run counter to the Caribbean tradition of unity and solidarity, and that the region must exercise collective diplomacy to withstand external pressures.
In his statements, the Grenadian politician argued that the current moment demands conviction, courage, and joint action by Caribbean governments. In his view, the region’s foreign policy must be one of resistance.
