Joint statement by communist and anti-imperialist youth organizations
Following its imperialist intervention in Venezuela, the Trump administration is intensifying its aggression against Cuba with renewed audacity, resorting to absurd arguments and claims. In this context, it is planning a new operation to economically and commercially suffocate the island of the revolution by imposing tariffs and sanctions on states that supply Cuba with oil and other vital goods, and even considering the possibility of a “maritime blockade” of Cuba.
The United Democratic Youth Organization of Cyprus (EDON) issued a statement condemning the new dangerous escalation of imperialist aggression against Cuba.
In its text, the youth organization of the Progressive Party of Working People of Cyprus (AKEL) points out that "the dangerous new escalation of U.S. imperialist aggression against Cuba is a continuation of a policy aimed at suppressing a people who for decades have defended their right to independence, sovereignty, and self-determination. The new decision by the Trump administration to impose tariffs on countries that supply fuel to Cuba adds to the long-standing economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed since 1962."
The statement of condemnation specifies "this exclusion has immediate and painful consequences for the Cuban people. Restrictions on fuel imports lead to long hours and frequent power outages, which affect homes, schools, hospitals, and workplaces. The lack of fuel paralyzes public transportation, making it difficult for employees and students to get around."
