Information of interest in the face of a new maneuver against Cuba in the European Parliament
CUBA CURRENT ELEMENTS
For more than 60 years, the Cuban people have faced an economic, commercial and financial blockade, intensified during the Trump administration with the adoption of 243 additional measures aimed at suffocating the Cuban economy; the entry into force of the Helms-Burton Act and the inclusion of Cuba on the spurious list of state sponsors of terrorism, all of which have been maintained and expanded under the current Biden government. The blockade constitutes the most flagrant violation of the human rights of Cubans and the main limitation for our development.
Deliberately, the United States government has used, in an opportunistic, criminal and immoral way, the limitations imposed by the blockade policy and the effects generated by the Covid-19 pandemic, to generate greater difficulties for our people, hindering access to medicines, supplies and medical equipment, with the deliberate purpose of making the health system collapse and hindering access to fuels and other goods necessary for our development.
To all this is added the application of unconventional warfare methods, with the development of subversive and media campaigns organized and financed from the United States, encouraging hatred, confrontation and vandalism, to generate internal destabilization in the country, distort the work of the Revolution, the performance of the Government and the performance of our leaders.
The riots that occurred on July 11 in Cuba are the results of these illegal and irresponsible actions. Only the response and united action of the majority of our people, put an end to these subversive plans of the enemies of the Revolution.
While the government of the United States, the extreme right in Miami, the anti-Cuban power circles in Congress and the annexationist sectors dream and bet on the “change of regime” in Cuba, the Government, the institutions and social and mass organizations in our country they have been working to confront the Covid-19 pandemic and to promote economic and social development, amid the current complex circumstances.
