We the Cubans residents in Egypt join the rejection of all our people and the international community against the strengthening of the criminal blockade of the United States against Cuba, and in particular against the application of the Helms-Burton Act.
60 years of siege, blockade, aggressions, attacks, introduction of diseases, plagues, propaganda with the most powerful media in the world, among other forms of aggression, have not been able to bend the Revolution that was born on January 1st, 1959: What makes Trump think that they are going to achieve it now?
The current government of the United States is recognized, within its own country and internationally, for the unscrupulous tendency to use lies as a domestic and foreign policy resource for trying to blame Cuba for all evils and thus justify its hostile policy against our island. It is a habit that matches with the imperialism’s old practices.
No threat of retaliation against Cuba, no ultimatum or blackmail from the current US government will divert the conduct of the Cuban nation, despite the devastating human and economic damage caused by the genocidal blockade to our people.
We will continue advancing and building a fair society in the way we want to build it and not in the way the American government wants to impose on us shamelessly.
What we have conquered, and what we still need to, will not be taken away from us by anyone.
Victor Barbier
President of the Association of Cubans Residents in Egypt
