On the Day for the Commemoration and Dignification of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide and its Prevention, we demand the end of the blockade imposed by the United States on the Cuban people, the minister wrote on his Twitter account.

In his message, he wrote that the lock on Cuba is “an act of genocide typified in the 1948 Convention, which lacks political, moral or legal justification.”

Cuba has denounced that the economic, financial and commercial blockade that Washington has kept for more than 60 years aims to subdue the Cuban people through hardships and diseases.
