Cuban Chancellor rejects speeches by Trump and Bolsonaro

On September 24, the high-level debate period of the 74th session of the UN General Assembly, which will last for a week at the headquarters of New York, United States, began mid-morning.

This year’s objective corresponds to ‘Boosting multilateral efforts for the eradication of poverty, the quality of education, action against climate change and inclusion’, as established by the United Nations.

Pronouncements of representatives of the 193 member countries are planned, including more than 90 heads of state. And as is tradition since 1955 the president of Brazil opened the debates, with the address of Jair Bolsonaro, who was followed by the speech of Donald Trump.

The session of that deliberative body, however, has been going on since September 17 and there are several global issues that have been addressed among them regarding climate change … We ask Irma Shelton, who follows the development at the United Nations, as Have the discussions been so far? What speeches have excelled?

This debate session began with the speech of the president of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro, who assured before the General Assembly of the United Nations, that it is “a fallacy” to say that the Amazon “is a World Heritage Site and a lung of the world”. Not only that, of the almost 30 minutes he spoke I dedicate more than 5 minutes to speak aggressively against Cuba and Venezuela… Let’s go listen for a minute of what he said

This speech had immediate reactions and one of them corresponded to that of the Cuban Foreign Minister, Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla.

On his Tweter page, the Cuban Foreign Minister wrote:

“I strongly reject Bolsonaro’s slander about # Cuba and international medical cooperation. Delirium and long for the times of the military dictatorship. It should deal with corruption in its justice, government and family system. It is the leader of the increase in inequality in Brazil ”

After Bolsonaro Trump spoke who said he was not going to the UN but finally traveled to New York and appeared the day before in the session dedicated to the weather and today spoke after Bolsonaro in the session that started the debates … We have some what he said? The Cuban Foreign Minister wrote something very nice and forceful in relation to Trump’s speech … Look at this. Inadmissible accusations Pdte Trump vs. #Cuba and Venezuela. Use of lies characterizes its management. Monroist and macartist. He speaks like an emperor. 165 congressmen ask for his impeachment. Try to distract the world and Americans. Bored, does not compete with Greta Thunberg #UNGA Now Irma, we talked about the different sessions that took place since the 17th at the United Nations … Without a doubt one of the most popular was the one on the eve and that had to do with the weather Yes, today they transcend in the social networks, in the news of the world the forceful words of the Norwegian activist of only 16 years, Greta Thumberg, who also made a “fulminating look at the US president, Donald Trump, when he entered the Palace of Glass in the framework of the UN Climate Summit. We prepared a small video with this look that went viral on the networks and a fragment of Greta’s speech.

The cameramen immortalized Greta’s reaction to the tycoon, who ignores her while she looks at him with a grimace. The NowThis news organization, quoted by the Italian news agency Ansa tweet, follows: ”If an image is worth more than 1000 words, then this GIF is worth 100,000 ″ ´.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs denounces the shameful decision to activate the Inter-American Reciprocal Assistance Treaty (IRAT), a treaty that contemplates the use of military force.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly rejects its invocation under the pretext of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela being a threat to peace and security in the hemisphere, when in reality, the interventionist Monroe Doctrine implemented by the United States, hostility toward Venezuela, and the use of this treaty for such ends, that endanger the region’s peace and security.

Once again, the discredited Organization of American States was the vehicle for this outrage, in which an honorable group of nations openly opposed the decision.

Invoking the IRAT, which the United States used to justify military interventions and aggression in the region, causing so much pain and death to Latin Americans and Caribbeans, is a deliberate attempt to provoke a situation that could lead to the use of force to overthrow the legitimate government of President Nicolás Maduro Moros, in flagrant violation of the principles of international law and the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace.

By rejecting this decision, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls upon the governments and peoples of Our America and the world to resolutely oppose this measure that pretends to justify, via an artificial legal framework, intervention in the internal affairs of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which is unacceptable.

We want to report what is happening, its causes, how we have worked in these months to minimize the impact, and the options we have to overcome this conjunctural situation.”… It is well known that the current U.S. administration is increasing its hostilities towards Cuba, with the aim of hurting the basic needs of the people and their daily activities and blaming the Cuban government for this,” pressuring us to change the course we have chosen as a country.

“…They persist in trying to prevent the arrival of fuel to Cuba. And additionally apply unilateral measures to limit our contracts with shipping companies that deliver resources to Cuba. There are entities that have withdrawn.“…This situation has caused a shortage of diesel.”

“…Ships with food are arriving in the country, ships with wheat flour, and this is a result of measures that have been adopted recently.”Díaz-Canel explained that this scenario forces us to adopt measures to minimize the impact on services to the population and focus on priorities, stressing that this is a conjunctural situation.

National industry guarantees 40 percent of the country’s fuel, and with this domestic production, we guarantee the operation of our thermoelectric plants. That is, the fundamental basis of the country’s energy system remains stable, the President stated.

All measures adopted have had positive results. However, despite the effort, the arrival of oil tankers was not achieved these last few weeks. In this situation there are two important moments. One is the one we currently experiencing, that will last until September 14, because fuel will not arrive until that date. On the 14th, a tanker will arrive.

The next shipments arrive at the end of September. We must maintain conservation and efficiency measures so that this fuel lasts until the end of the month, when the other vessels arrive and stabilize the situation. October contracts are negotiated. We are sure that fuel will be guaranteed at the end of September, and with the October contracts, Díaz said.
