The member countries of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) expressed their rejection of the new destabilization attempts against the Republic of Cuba, perpetrated through smear campaigns by the U.S. Government in recent days.
In the communiqué, the members of the Alliance strongly condemned the attempts aimed at undermining Cuba’s internal order, stressing that such actions seek to take advantage of the difficult economic situation faced by the Caribbean nation, worsened by the U.S. blockade.
“The government of the United States continues its attempts to provoke a social outbreak, tightening the economic siege, sabotaging the State’s capacity to respond to the requirements of the people”, according to the document.
The Alliance reiterated its rejection of the dissemination of these messages through “toxic platforms”, highlighting that this contravenes international law and the principles of the Charter of the United Nations.
It is important to emphasize that the hardships suffered by the Cuban people, such as the current power supply situation and the difficulties in food distribution, are direct consequences of the unilateral coercive measures imposed by the U.S. government during more than 60 years on the brotherly country.
“Cuba is an example of resilience, work and resistance for all Latin America and the Caribbean and its authorities have had, have and will have all the willingness to face and improve the conditions that this worthy nation has been subjected to for years, as a result of the hatred and contempt of the enemies of the Cuban Revolution”, the text states.
This weekend, President of Cuba Miguel Díaz-Canel called for calm and also denounced that unrest is being promoted from South Florida, United States.
Finally, the ALBA-TCP member countries reaffirmed their firm solidarity with the Cuban government and people, supporting their legitimate denunciation against enemy campaigns and recognizing their tireless efforts to overcome all difficulties.
