“They know our position regarding Cuba. Economic blockades do not harm governments, they harm the people, and we must always put dialogue above everything else,” the president said during her regular press conference, this time from the state of Querétaro.
“It is in our constitution, in the definition of the principles of foreign policy, but it is something that is important to develop in all senses. Closing the door and not holding dialogue, I believe, is never the option. The construction of peace requires permanent dialogue,” she stressed.
On Tuesday, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel rejected the statements of the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who called Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela enemies of humanity.
During a visit to Costa Rica, as part of a tour of Central America, the US official accused those countries of being the cause of the current migration crisis.
Shamelessness once again taking hold of the cynical politicians of the United States, the Cuban head of State wrote on X, where he affirmed that it is proven that Cuba’s migration exodus is proportional to the hardening of the blockade policy by the United States.
Díaz-Canel pointed out that the blockade deprives the Cuban people of essential goods, and warned about the danger for humanity of neo-fascism promoted by Washington.
Are enemies of humanity those who resist blockades without abandoning solidarity with other peoples or those who apply the blockade trampling on international laws? The empire is the enemy of humanity with its expansionist appetite and its futile pretension of ruling the world, he stressed.
