SOLIDARITY WITH CUBA

How little the United States respects the world

How little the United States respects the world by maintaining the blockade against Cuba!
For 30 years, the UN General Assembly votes in favor of the need to end the U.S. blockade against Cuba and this is reinforced, as a sign of little respect for the international community, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez said on Twitter.

The First Secretary of the Communist Party and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, wrote on Twitter that it has been 30 years since Cuba presented before the UN the detailed report of the crime constituted by the U.S. blockade against the Island.

“The General Assembly condemns it almost unanimously. And the blockade is intensified. How little the United States respects the international community. How little it respects the rest of the world,” the Head of State pointed out.

In recent days, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla presented a report of the main damages caused by this unilateral policy between 2021 and 2022 before the diplomatic corps and the press media accredited in Cuba.

The report Necessity of ending the U.S. economic, commercial and financial blockade against Cuba covers the period between August 2021 and February 2022, and will be presented for the thirtieth time before the United Nations General Assembly on November 2 and 3.

He assured that, in the analyzed period, that policy originated losses in the order of 3,806.5 million dollars, a figure 49% higher than that reported in the previous period (January-July 2021). “This is a record amount in just seven months, and is a reflection of the intensified impact of the blockade,” he said, while denouncing how this siege violates the most sensitive economic and social sectors of national life, and impacts Cubans, both inside and outside the country.

But, in spite of this unilateral and aggressive policy that seeks to undermine the Cuban social project, Cuba does not stop and renews itself all the time.

In order to measure the effects of the blockade against Cuba, it is essential to take into account the very serious human damage caused by this policy, aimed at denting the conscience of Cubans, frustrating their paradigm of development and inducing them to discontent.

Taking into account the behavior of the dollar against the value of gold in the international market, the blockade has caused losses of more than one trillion 391 111 million dollars.

“Cuba has the right to live without the blockade, it has the right to live in peace, everyone would be better off without the blockade, the United States would be a better country without blockading us, the world would be better off without the blockade against Cuba,” the Cuban Foreign Minister stressed at the time.

Cuba celebrates Thursday a new victory in its struggle against the U.S. blockade, by achieving overwhelming support in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) for a resolution approved by 185 votes in favor, two against and two abstentions.

The report presented for the thirtieth time states that only between August 2021 and February 2022 that unilateral policy caused Cuba losses in the order of 3,806.5 million dollars. The figure is 49% higher than that reported between January and July 2021 and a record in just seven months.

At current prices, the accumulated damages during six decades of the blockade amount to 150,410.8 million dollars, with a great weight on sectors such as health and education, in addition to the damage to the national economy and the quality of life of Cuban families.

In the first 14 months of the Biden Administration alone, the losses caused by the blockade amounted to 6,364 million dollars, which is equivalent to an impact of more than 454 million dollars a month and more than 15 million dollars a day, according to the document.

The extraterritorial impact of the blockade harms the sovereignty of the countries of the United Nations, sanctions their businessmen and impedes access to their ports for third party ships that dock in Cuba. It also prevents the importation into Cuba of articles produced in any country when they have 10% or more of U.S. components, the foreign minister denounced.

International Meeting of Communist and Workers’ Parties to be held 27-29

EIPCO for unity: in Havana

Delegates from 65 countries from all continents will attend the 22nd EIPCO, International Meeting of Communist and Workers’ Parties to be held 27-29 at the Havana Convention Palace.

“United we are stronger” is the slogan of the event in which representatives of 82 political forces and 31 delegations headed by their presidents or general secretaries will participate.

The meeting will promote the debate on the challenges of the leftist forces in the face of the imperialist offensive, in their eagerness to impose hegemony at the global level.

There will be reflections on how to strengthen the unity, solidarity, and coordination of the communist and workers’ parties of the world.

The occasion will also be propitious to coordinate initiatives and exchange ideas about the international situation and the problems faced by each of the parties in their regional and national spaces.

Founded in 1998 in Greece, in a context of uncertainty after the collapse of the socialist camp and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, EIPCO is today the most comprehensive and oldest organization of communist parties that exists. Its constitution was promoted by the Greek Communist Party and it has developed a systematic work.

117 organizations from countries of all continents are part of this collective, which since its second meeting created a working group that integrates parties from different geographical regions. Last March, in a meeting held in Portugal, the celebration of the XXII Meeting in Havana was approved.

The Communist Party of Cuba, representing Latin America and the Caribbean, has attended all the meetings held by that organization since its foundation and has contributed with proposals that contribute to fostering international unity and solidarity among communist and workers’ parties, without excluding positions.

Cuba values EIPCO as a necessary space for the exchange of experiences and cooperation among the communist parties of the world, at a time characterized by a strong offensive of neoliberal capitalism against workers’ rights, as well as a fierce anti-communist campaign, particularly in the countries of Eastern Europe, in a context of growing threats to world peace and stability.

Bucha or the fabricated lie
Daily examples of fake news, more than anything else, take credit away from the media that publishes it, and the journalists who write it.

Some news agencies and other major Western media feed on the information that is produced, even if it is stained with blood – or that is never produced, but rather is invented – about the war like confrontation in Ukraine.

The daily examples of fake news, more than anything, take credit away from the media that publish it, and the journalists who write it.

But they also feed the Western leaders who are waiting for them, in their eagerness to discredit Russia and justify the lengthening of a conflict that should already have ended, in peace and with mutual guarantees, without interference or political games to surround Moscow.

The international community must “really” oppose the greed of the United States military complex that sells weapons, no matter what use is made of them, both for its citizens to kill each other and to fuel wars across the seas, as is the case today in Ukraine or in other Middle Eastern nations.

There are too many actions by the US governments, since the very emergence of that country and during its establishment as an empire, causing millions of deaths, mutilations and injuries, destruction of States, torture, economic sanctions as an ultimatum to suffocate entire populations, among other actions.
