Cuba rejects, in the strongest terms, the report published on July 20 by the United States Department of State, alleging Cuba’s supposed subversive influence against that country. It is a mediocre propaganda pamphlet. It seeks to bolster the mendacious message that Cuba constitutes a threat to the United States, a pretext used by that government to justify collective punishment and genocide against the Cuban people. Through the construction of accusatory legends, it aims to fabricate consensus for a possible military aggression.
It is hypocritical for the Department of State to accuse Cuba of promoting subversive actions, when it is well known that the U.S. government allocates tens of millions of dollars annually from its federal budget to subvert the internal order in Cuba, provoke hunger, despair, and the overthrow of the Cuban government. This is the same government with a sordid record of interference and violations of international law, carrying out extrajudicial executions in international waters, practicing political assassination, sponsoring acts of genocide, attacking sovereign countries across all continents, and interfering in the electoral processes of sovereign states.
It is equally hypocritical to persist in the falsehood of labeling Cuba as a State sponsor of terrorism. It is evident that neither in this nor in any other report can evidence or even the slightest indication be presented for such an illegitimate accusation, because none exists, as acknowledged by specialized agencies of the U.S. government itself. It is, however, public knowledge that individuals who finance, organize, and instigate violent and terrorist acts against Cuba have found protection and total impunity in U.S. territory.
This report is inserted into the discourse of the so‑called “leftist terrorism,” a novel concept that the U.S. government, and in particular its Secretary of State, are intent on promoting as the new enemy. In this way, they seek to attack every progressive trait, social commitment, or leftist manifestation inside and outside the United States, increase repression, and establish a new McCarthyism.
The aim is, above all, to repress and intimidate the U.S. population itself and those who express solidarity, including those who denounce their government’s unjust aggression against Cuba. It is recognized that opposition to the energy blockade, the strangulation of the Cuban economy, and the threat of military aggression is growing in the United States, including among Cubans living there and their descendants.
The Department of State insists on questioning Cuba’s ties with other sovereign nations, as if international law had ceased to exist. It manipulates and distorts Cuba’s widely recognized record of solidarity, anti‑colonialism, and internationalism, even acknowledged within the United States. Each year, that country suffers repeated and resounding isolation at the United Nations for refusing to end the economic blockade.
Unable to conceal its hidden admiration for the epic of the Cuban Revolution, the report reveals the fear of a nuclear superpower before the example of an ideal of social justice and defense of sovereignty. It demonstrates an inferiority complex toward a national program that prioritizes the people over the elites.
As it has always done, Cuba will continue to foster relations of friendship with the people and institutions of the United States, in strict adherence to international law, the Charter of the United Nations, and the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
