Cuba to Present Resolution to End U.S. Blockade at the UN on June 23
Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Cuba, stressed that the blockade is an act of genocide that constitutes a massive violation of human rights. On his Twitter account, the Cuban Foreign Minister referred to the 243 coercive measures applied by former U.S. President Donald Trump, which remain in force under President Joe Biden's administration. "The blockade is a cruel policy, which causes suffering, deprivation, and shortages to Cuban families. It has been deliberately tightened during the COVID-19 pandemic; it hinders access to medicines, supplies, and necessary equipment," he stressed. Rodríguez Parrilla affirmed that the economic, commercial, and financial blockade against the Island restricts the freedom of travel of Americans, and "its extraterritorial application drastically reduces our income and hinders development." "Like the virus that causes this pandemic, the U.S. blockade suffocates and damages Cuban families," he added. The Cuban Foreign Minister also pointed out that Cuba trusts in the international community's support to put an end to this inhumane policy. (TeleSUR, April 23, 2021)
