Cuba’s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla will present, during a press conference this Friday, September 20, the country’s report outlining the full impact of the U.S. blockade over the last year.
The US blockade on Cuba, imposed for almost 60 years, has caused losses to the island of over 138.843 billion dollars at current prices, an official source denounced on Thursday.
The increase in sanctions in the banking-financial sector, which affect Cuban entities and third parties in frank violation of international law, marks at present the policy promoted by the United States toward the island.
The US economic blockade against Cuba accounts is an unacceptable measure from every viewpoint, the leader of the French Communist Party (PCF) Jean-Charles Negre said today in this capital.
“Preventing the entry of fuel into the country is part of genocidal actions against #Cuba. It causes damage to our people, deprivation, and difficulties that are impacting every Cuban family these days. This has a responsible: the #U.S. government,” Rodriguez Parrilla stressed.
