Havana, July 6.- Cuba’s Deputy Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez considered that the philosophy of the new plan of measures against the island, presented to the US president, is one of blockade and aggression; published the Latin American News Agency.
The policy includes a "change of regime, intervention, and blockade," stated the diplomat Wednesday, assessing the document on a Cuban TV program, also attended by Parliament Speaker Ricardo Alarcon.
He noted that the document, written by the so-called Commission for Assistance to a Free Cuba led by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, continues and retakes the Helms-Burton, Torricelli and a group of actions included in a 2004 report that were never applied.
In short, added Rodriguez, the aim is to continue hindering profits of our country and increase the blockade that has been in place since April 1960 to the point of starvation, desperation and suffering.
The high official listed the failure of aggressive US policy against Cuba and its isolation, the majority opposition to the blockade at the UN each year and the island’s diplomatic achievements, among others.
He mentioned Cuba’s election to preside over the Non-Aligned Countries Movement, larger programs of cooperation and its success, advances in economy and the people’s cohesion and unity with the revolution.
Rodriguez referred to the blockade’s prohibitions on Cuba and damages that economic policy has caused for over 40 years.
The deputy minister warned that the United States also works internationally to change the government of this island.
