Havana, Oct 24 (Prensa Latina) Trying to destroy the Cuban Revolution through the economic, financial, and commercial blockade and other coercive measures has been an obsession for US President George W. Bush.

The economic siege, officially established in 1963 and maintained for ten US administrations, aims to make the Cuban people surrender by hunger and diseases.

In view of the failure of those punitive measures, Bush decided to approve a plan in May 2004 to speed up the destruction of the constitutional order agreed by the Cuban people.

Only two months later, he reviewed the plan and added new measures to toughen the blockade, something he has been doing frequently in the last three years.

Today, as the UN General Assembly is about to vote for the 16th time on a Cuban resolution demanding the end of the blockade, Bush will disclose new anti-Cuba measures.

Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque recently told Prensa Latina President Bush is obsessed with Cuba.

'He sees his mandate is coming to an end, and has been unable to make Cuba surrender and get the results the mafia and Cuban ultra rightwing in Miami were expecting,' he sustained.

The October 30 vote at the UN General Assembly will corroborate whether the international community supports the ever toughening US blockade, or our right to be a free people, the minister stated.
