Oppose U.S.-Engineered Attacks on Cuba

Testimony Proves Subversive Plans Against Cuba

Today, Cuba opens its borders to foreign travellers and students return to classes within conditions in which all measures are being taken to ensure that everyone is safe from the nefarious consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ninety per cent of the Cuban population is expected to be fully vaccinated by the end of November, with over 94 per cent already having at least one dose, which is one of the highest rates in the world. This has all been accomplished on the basis of self-reliance, with Cuban-made vaccines, and is an achievement of the Cuban people and their government. Social solidarity in Cuba is among the highest in the world because the government works for the people and with the people and is comprised of the people themselves, not elites who claim to be their representatives but serve Big Pharma and other narrow private interests.

We wish the Cuban people well as they move into post-pandemic life, just as we wish the peoples of the entire world well who are still suffering the effects of COVID-19 due to the lack of vaccines and all that they require to protect their people.

What is worrisome in the case of Cuba is the efforts being made by the U.S. administration to launch a so-called colour revolution in that country to overthrow their government and install agents who will permit Cuba’s annexation by the United States. Worrisome also are the countries, such as Canada, that appease the U.S. as it violates international law when it comes to interference in Cuba’s sovereign affairs, by remaining silent or suggesting that CIA activities are in defence of human rights, democracy and prosperity. It is unconscionable that now the counterrevolutionary activities of the CIA — which include targeted assassinations of political opponents, disinformation campaigns, renditions to torture and black ops of all kinds — can be presented as being carried out in defence of the people of Cuba.

On November 1, testimony about the U.S. plans was made public by a reputable Cuban doctor working for the state security agency on the Cuban TV program Razones de Cuba. The following day, President Miguel Díaz-Canel highlighted that testimony, which proved the subversive purposes of the promoters of an illegal march in Cuba called for today. The testimony included irrefutable audio and video evidence.

“The truth always sounds louder in the voice of dignified men,” Díaz-Canel wrote on his Twitter account.

The President also tweeted an article containing new evidence of the destabilization attempts promoted in Cuba by extreme right sectors in the United States.

In his testimony, the doctor explained the links between terrorist organizations and their representatives based in the United States, with the promoters of the planned march that was declared unconstitutional and illegal by the Cuban government.

In light of the revelations, the demonstration’s promoter, Yunior García Aguilera, has declared he will march all by himself if need be. However, it is known that counterrevolutionary forces in the pay of the CIA and other organizations working for the overthrow of the Cuban government continue to plan provocations against Cuban embassies abroad, that they are often violent and always very uncouth. In Canada, known activists in the Cuba solidarity movement have received threats of all kinds and accusations that they are agents of the Cuban government.

Canada’s silence condones such actions, claiming they are political opposition when they are clearly not. This is a serious failing on the part of Canada, which risks losing all credibility that it opposes hate-mongering, extremism and violence. The kinds of confrontations the counterrevolutionary forces are trying to engineer with activists in support of Cuba and its right to self-determination to generate insecurity and destabilization and then blame it on the solidarity movement or government of Cuba itself are unacceptable. They must not be permitted to pass without consequences to those inciting such confrontations.

Should the self-styled “March for Change” proceed in Cuba today with its aim to create a climate of ungovernability — the very day Cuba reopens its borders — it is sure to fail.

Renewal Update calls on Canadians and Quebeckers to make sure it does.
