Statement of the Association of Cubans Living in Cyprus.
The United Nations has witnessed the shamelessness and brazenness with which the world's largest military and economic power tries to give lessons on freedom and human rights to the world; but, once again, with hypocrisy and cynicism, it lies.
For that freedom that Cuba has treasured for decades and defends out of conviction, Cubans will have to give everything. Our voices cannot be complicit in the silence and infamy that the deceitful and offensive speech against our homeland by U.S. President Donald Trump intends to establish from the United Nations. Once again, without scruples and with total cynicism, he tries to impose labels and names against our country for no other reason than to tarnish, frustrate, ruin, and reduce to ashes the human and precious work dreamed of by our José Martí and consolidated by Fidel.
In the year of the centenary of his birth, let us turn to his legacy to condemn, as never before, so much barbarity, blackmail, and threats coming from the U.S. government, in its already practiced and recurring foreign policy concerning Cuba.
From the most remote corners of this planet, tarnished these days, from the UN headquarters, let us condemn the overbearing and hostile attitude of that threatening government, which tries to set itself up as the owner and ruler of the world's destinies and to attack sovereign states without scruples, particularly Cuba.
