Deputy Foreign Minister Denounces US Policy to Cause Suffering of the Cuban People

Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossío denounced on Thursday the United States’ political strategy against Cuba. The fact that its success is measured by the suffering inflicted on the Cuban population.

“A certain class of politicians feels pride, and those involved celebrate among themselves for such achievements.” The Deputy Foreign Minister stated on Facebook.

In the post, he detailed how these politicians applaud the number of hours of blackouts, the families who lack cooking gas, the food that spoils due to lack of refrigeration. Also the surgeries that are postponed or not performed, as well as the decline in infant mortality rates and the resulting deaths of newborns.

“It is the cruel and daily war to which the nation is subjected,” he condemned.

He also mentioned that this hostile design is also expressed in the lack of public transportation, the solid waste that accumulates on every block. The difficulties in accessing education, job losses and decreased personal and family income. Inflation, and the degrading shortages that the people know all too well.

Cuba, in contrast, responds by having every act of creativity, ingenious repair, and solution. However fragile, every life saved, and every act of solidarity recorded as a defeat for imperialism.

In this regard, he highlighted the resilience of the largest of the Antilles. And noted that the setbacks to the anti-Cuban measures are inflicted by a peaceful people. One who refuses to return to the condition of dependent and despised subjects that they suffered during the first half of the 20th century.

In another message, Fernández de Cossío warned that the United States government has pressured governments around the world to end bilateral healthcare programs with Cuba. Depriving entire communities of access to health services, according to press reports in the archipelago.

“It is now pressuring those same governments and many others, including allies. To change their traditional stance against the economic, commercial, and financial blockade at the UN. And even to refuse to discuss such an important issue,” the deputy minister stated.

He explained that Washington is successfully pressuring all governments to comply with the ban on exporting fuel to Cuba. And that, with the apparent consent of the majority. It is designing a new international order of unlikely sustainability.
