“To the political parties, social and popular movements, progressive and leftist forces and the world movement of solidarity with Cuba,
To friends of Cuba in the world in general,
Since the previous administration of President Donald Trump, the economic, commercial and financial blockade measures imposed by the United States government against Cuba since 1962 have been intensified without precedent. With the application of more than 240 measures, from Chapter III of the Helms Burton Act and its growing extraterritoriality, to which was added the fierce campaign of disinformation and promotion of internal destabilization, they intend to reverse our revolutionary process.
As a consequence of this criminal and genocidal policy, the Cuban people have suffered significant damage to their daily lives, which has worsened as a result of the impact of the energy crisis experienced by our country, due to financial persecution, the impossibility of acquiring fuel, parts and supplies for the maintenance of our national electrical and energy system. The serious damage caused to our economy by this new contingency has been doubly reinforced by the occurrence of weather events such as hurricanes Oscar and Rafael, as well as two large-magnitude earthquakes, in less than 15 days.
Despite the difficult situation, the Cuban people, together with their party and government, have resisted stoically, where solidarity and resilience have prevailed along with our perseverance to recover and continue the construction of a more just, humane and supportive society. In this endeavor, we are addressing you once again to request the maximum of your solidarity efforts in the political, economic and material spheres.
Cuba will never give up and we hope to count on the accompaniment and support of all our friends to continue, united with our people, the struggle for a better world that is possible. Solidarity cannot be blocked.
“Whoever stands up for Cuba today, stands up for all times”
José Martí
We will win!”
