Yesterday, several posters appeared near the United Nations building denouncing the economic war that the United States government has waged against Cuba for more than six decades.
The graphic display not only reveals the consequences of this genocidal policy known as the blockade, which it demands be lifted, but also speaks of a country that does not submit despite pressure, of an international community that has not remained indifferent for 32 years, and of a people that respects other people and behaves with the decorum that its government lacks.
While people of goodwill in New York and elsewhere are calling for an end to this attempt to suffocate the island, the UN headquarters is today debating —and will vote tomorrow on— the draft resolution Necessity of ending the economic, commercial, and financial embargo imposed by the United States against Cuba.
"We defend the truth of Cuba and the international community, which the U.S. government seeks to manipulate and change under unprecedented pressure. Its corrupt political clique fears being isolated once again by the overwhelming majority of the UN against its measures of economic suffocation and suffering against the Cuban people," Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, member of the Political Bureau and Minister of Foreign Affairs, posted on social media.
The cynicism of the White House will be heard again today in an artificial and particularly aggressive speech by a spokesperson who wants to make a grand debut, with fallacies that will attempt to deny the long genocide against the people of the archipelago.
Historically, on Cuba's side, most of the world's countries will once again give the response that truth and justice demand. (Granma)
