President Miguel Díaz-Canel warned this Friday that a new and more dangerous version of McCarthyism is back in the United States. Referring to the ministerial meeting convened by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
With a threatening transnational reach, far-right alliances reminiscent of Hitlerian fascism. Or the sinister Operation Condor are being promoted to attack a supposed global “radical left,” the president warned on his social media accounts.
“Are they looking for pretexts to justify new abuses and greater aggression?” questioned the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba.
In his message, he stated that the imperialist right wing and its acolytes are dangerously radical, responsible, among other crimes. For the genocide in Gaza, extrajudicial killings, the hunting, torture, and murder of migrants, the bombing of a girls’ school in Iran. And the genocidal blockade against the Cuban people. “The list is endless,” he emphasized.
Díaz-Canel pointed out that the true danger to humanity is the philosophy of plunder that dictates the transnational far-right’s actions in war.
For his part, the Cuban Foreign Minister, Bruno Rodríguez, declared that the U.S. Secretary of State. Whose political career unfolded among notorious and recognized terrorists. He has the audacity to lie unscrupulously with unfounded accusations about Cuba’s alleged financing and sponsorship of terrorism.
“One doesn’t have to dig too deep to discover this politician’s collusion with criminal organizations that have brought terror and death to the Cuban people.” However, he is incapable of presenting any evidence for the fallacies he shamelessly spouts before government representatives at a McCarthyist conference convened for electoral purposes,” he added in his message on the social network X.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a speech this Thursday at the opening of the Ministerial Meeting on the “Resurgence of Political Terrorism.” In which he constructed a supposed global terrorist threat using decontextualized facts, unverifiable figures, unproven accusations, and rhetoric that portrays the left as a violent enemy.
The meeting was attended by delegations from 66 countries in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Represented by foreign and interior ministers, security officials, diplomats, and counterterrorism specialists.
Rubio outlined numerous lies about progressive movements worldwide. In the case of Cuba, he said that the Cuban ideological and intelligence network contributed to building the extreme left in the United States. And remains inextricably linked to leftist movements both within and outside the West.
However, Reuters confirmed that the Secretary of State did not provide any public evidence of this contemporary network. The Cuban government, for its part, has officially denied harboring, supporting, or financing terrorist or extremist organizations, reported Cubadebate in its Media Observatory section.
