“Today, for the thirty-second time, 187 countries raised our voices at the United Nations General Assembly to demand the lifting of the gringo sanctions,” the president stated on his Instagram account.

In a message to Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel and the historic leader of the Revolution, Army General Raúl Castro, the head of the Bolivarian State expressed his solidarity and willingness to continue to open paths, as well as create formulas that “will allow us to advance in the search for concrete solutions, and lead us to the integral well-being of our nations.”

A new world is possible and free people will build it, Maduro stressed.

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil, in turn, wrote on the same platform that as every year, the world expressed “its firm rejection of the historic injustice that implies the economic, commercial and financial blockade of the United States against Cuba,” which has lasted for more than six decades.

Gil noted that Washington finds itself increasingly isolated in a world that abhors these colonial practices.

ALBA-TCP Executive Secretary Jorge Arreaza pointed out that the only two votes against the resolution of the UN General Assembly to lift the economic and commercial blockade against Cuba were those of the United States and Israel.

“The same two countries responsible for the genocide against the Palestinian people,” he stressed.

Arreaza added that this is further proof that “these two countries are at war against humanity.” Humanity will prevail!, the diplomat stressed.

For the thirty-second consecutive time on Wednesday, the world community supported with 187 votes in favor, two against and one abstention, the draft resolution presented by Cuba against the US economic, commercial and financial blockade.
