In a tweet published on Tuesday, the diplomat called a lie by Washington’s government a report released the day before by the State Department, which is once again manipulating the issue to undermine the Caribbean nation’s constitutional order.
Rodríguez Parrilla reiterated that Cuba’s Social Justice and International Solidarity Project is a benchmark for the protection and promotion of human rights.
During the Caribbean island’s confrontation with the COVID-19 pandemic, Donald Trump’s administration tightened the blockade with more than 200 coercive measures as part of a policy that has not been rescinded by current White House President Joe Biden.
A recent statement by the Greater Antilles government, marking the 60th anniversary of the proclamation that formalized the unilateral policy, stressed that the US economic, trade and financial blockade is the central axis of Washington’s strategy aimed at protecting the legitimate Right of Cubans to defend their sovereignty and to forge an emancipatory project alien to imperialist rule.
