In his profile on the social network X, the president recalled that on November 1 and 2, the draft resolution entitled “Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States of America against Cuba” will be submitted to the United Nations General Assembly its for consideration.

This document calls for the lifting of those unilateral coercive measures, whose estimated economic damages at current prices amount to over 159 billion dollars, and to more than one trillion 337,000 taking into account the behavior of the dollar against the value of gold in the international market.

The damages caused by the measure represent an impact of more than 405 million dollars per month, which implies one million dollars every two hours.

The international community has ratified its rejection of this unjust and illegal policy for the last three decades, which was reinforced to unprecedented levels in the context of Covid-19, and whose declared purpose is to strangle the country’s economy to provoke a change of regime.

Last year the resolution presented by Cuba was approved with 185 votes in favor and two against (United States and Israel).
