Havana, June 8. President Miguel Díaz-Canel, meeting with Cubans excluded from the so-called Summit of the Americas, quoted Martí and said: “When a strong nation wants to fight a battle with another, it demands allegiance and service from those nations dependent upon it. The first thing a nation does to dominate another is to separate it from other nations.”
On the other hand, he added: “In the case of Cuba, the exclusion was not only against the government but also against the representatives of the civil society and social actors, including our youths. The United States is no longer satisfied with deciding who and how should be the Cuban government. Now they attempt to determine who the representatives of the civil society are, who are the legitimate social actors and who are not.”
