Paris-. France Cuba today denounced the intransigence of the United States to assume the role of supreme judge in democracy and human rights in an attempt to exclude Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela from the Ninth Summit of the Americas.
In statements to Prensa Latina, the organization that has more than six decades of solidarity work with the island identified that Washington is endorsing its policy of imposing unilateral sanctions on countries that are not under its mandate.
Cuba, with the voice of its foreign minister, Bruno Rodriguez, denounced a week ago the intention of the United States to exclude it from the forum scheduled for June in Los Angeles.
A few days later, the Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, Brian Nichols, deemed invitations to Havana, Managua and Caracas unlikely, although they had yet to be extended.
According to the French association, Washington’s behavior is unacceptable due to double standards, and the use of democracy and human rights as justifications for ultimate exclusion, when these principles are publicly violated.
How can a government be described as violating international law with impunity by maintaining a genocidal blockade against the Cuban people for more than 60 years, despite the fact that the majority of the world’s nations and US citizens themselves oppose it, he warned, referring to the fence imposed on the island.
In this regard, he denounced that this blockade has intensified worthless in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Likewise, he noted abuses of minorities in the north of the country, support for coups against Bolivia, Nicaragua and Venezuela, and wars and anarchy sowed with their imperialist ends.
France has rejected Cuba’s new American crusade against the Antilles, Nicaragua and Venezuela and the pressure it is applying to keep other governments silent in the face of the manipulation it is using in its goal of being excluded from the Ninth Summit of the Americas.
