Warsaw, October 22, 2024.
Cuba Friendship Association expresses its full support for the Cuban authorities dealing with the current energy crisis. This crisis was strengthened and is being used by the US imperialists, which attempt to overthrow the Cuban socialist system.
Long lasting blockade aimed to destroy the Cuban revolution, has exerted huge influence on access to fuel. The US threatens international companies trading with Cuba with huge fines. It also sustains an earlier ban on regular bilateral trade and the import of goods containing more than 10% US components from third countries. Thus it violates the sovereignty of other nations and international law. Blockade also involves a ban on foreign transactions with Cuba in US Dollars. It makes purchases of fuel by Cuba even more difficult.
Unlawful blockade led to a situation in which Cuba has problems with operating its energy systems in the middle of the hurricane season. It is a purposeful move of the US authorities. Their aim is to start social protests and organize protests leading to restitution of capitalism in Cuba.
However these attempts will fail miserably, because Cuban society is conscious of the social achievements made possible by the socialist government. Cuba will overcome the energy crisis and go out of it even strengthened. Cuba will also quickly react to the hurricane threats and provide safety for the entire population of the endangered regions.
