Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez described today’s vote against the US blockade of Cuba at the UN General Assembly as extraordinary amid the most brutal pressure.
Rodríguez thanked the countries that, with their vote, defended the truth and once again demanded an end to the US blockade of the Cuban people.
With 165 votes in favor, the Caribbean nation achieved another victory this Wednesday. Against the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the US more than 60 years ago. The debates held this Tuesday foreshadowed a victory backed by the international community.
This is the 33rd consecutive time the General Assembly has voted on the draft resolution demanding an end to this policy. Which has been rejected by the majority of member states. The United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly called on Wednesday for an end to the US embargo against Cuba.
A unilateral imposition denounced by Havana since 1992. The seven votes against this year came from Argentina, the United States, Hungary, Israel, North Macedonia, Paraguay, and Ukraine.
Moreover the 12 abstentions were from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Morocco, Moldova, Romania, and Poland.
From March 1st, 2024, to February 28th, 2025, the embargo caused Cuba material damages estimated at $7.5561 billion. Representing a 49 percent increase compared to the previous period, the document specifies.
