Cuba will not be intimidated by aggression

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel stressed Tuesday in Buenos Aires that the Island will not be intimidated by aggressions.

Speaking at the 7th Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), the head of state thanked the member countries for their forceful claim against the blockade imposed by the United States on Cuba, and for its removal from the list of nations that allegedly sponsor terrorism.

Likewise, he pointed out that the northern nation makes use of its technological hegemony and control of the media and digital platforms to carry out destabilization operations, unprecedented media war, and promote the so-called "regime change", with the backing of tens of millions of dollars from the federal budget.

"Its unfounded and unilateral decision to include Cuba in the spurious list of States that allegedly sponsor terrorism severely impacts our development aspirations," he emphasized. He said that our country will not be intimidated by such aggression.

In his speech, the ruler stressed that Cuba is not limited to resisting, and has not stopped creating during these hard years confronting the pandemic, and the blockade intensified with 243 measures applied by the administration of former U.S. President Donald Trump (2017-2021).

He also said that vaccines, dozens of new medicines and disease care protocols, as well as new equipment and treatments, confirm the value of the creative resistance of the Caribbean island. (Source: Prensa Latina)
