Mexico - Mexican organizations of solidarity with Cuba have demanded the immediate end of the US-imposed economic, financial and trade blockade of the island for more than four decades.
At the meeting held Friday in front of the Washington embassy in Mexico, Mexican speaker Alin Perez said United States should end this genocidal act that blatantly and systematically violates the Cuban people’s human rights.
The member of the Mexican Movement of Solidarity with Cuba highlighted that the UN General Assembly, since 1992 and with an increasing number of votes in favor, has approved a series of resolutions demanding the end of that aggressive policy.
The White House imposed the siege in February 1962, recalled Perez, and has caused at least $82 billion in damages to the island.
According to her, this figure does not include the over $54 billion attributable to the country’s damages for sabotage and terrorist actions encouraged, organized and financed from United States, or the value of the onerous credit conditions imposed on the Caribbean nation.
Jesus Escamilla, another member of the Movement, said that to defend Cuba is also to protect the right of Mexico and all peoples to sovereignty and self-determination.
Escamilla also lashed out the double morality of the US administration, which on one side says it´s engaged in a crusade against terrorism and on the other side, protects Cuban-born terrorist Luis Posada Carriles in that northern territory. |
