Brussels, December 16th. - Spanish MEP Manu Pineda here today described the members of the European Parliament who presented a resolution against Cuba on alleged human rights violations as good servants of the United States.
"The only violation of human rights that Cuba suffers are the more than 60 years of a criminal blockade imposed by the United States, and that you do not even mention," he said in a plenary session of the European Parliament, forced for the third time in recent months to "examine" the island at the initiative of right-wing parliamentarians.
The member of the Group of the Left (The Left) called the promoters of the new text gifted students of Joseph Goebbels (Nazi Propaganda Minister), because they repeat the same lie a thousand times hoping that they consider it true.
In Cuba there is no arbitrary detention, no torture, and no disappearances. Those who are in jail are for having committed a crime, as in any rule of law, he stressed in his disqualification of the criteria set forth by MEPs such as Leopoldo López (European People's Party).
Pineda stressed that in the largest of the Antilles there is a Revolution that puts the human being at the center of political, social and economic action, without commercializing rights, "as is done in this part of the world."
This makes Cuba an example of respect for human rights, with the lowest infant mortality rate in Latin America, a country where there are no children sleeping on the street or dying of hunger, which with its own vaccines already protected 90 percent of the population, the first in America and the second in the world, he stated.
“Far from what their bosses (the United States) send them to say, Cuba is a participatory democracy, with deep roots, in which citizens propose different candidates, and in free and secret voting elect their representatives, who each year they are accountable and to whom they can revoke ”, he sentenced.
The MEP insisted in the plenary of the European Parliament on the servile position of the promoters of the resolution and assured that in the Antillean nation they know well what they are facing.
"This people knows what it is to be the casino of the Yankees, and now that it has its sovereignty and independence in its hands, it will continue to defend it with the cry of Homeland or Death, We will win! And it will do it Until Victory Forever", he added. .
Earlier in the European Parliament, the right-wingers Dita Charanzová, Hermann Tertsch and López did not hide their objective of torpedoing the Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement between Cuba and the European Union, some of them even calling for its suspension.
