American Cuba Support
Latin America and the
Caribbean must not be
quiet about the US
president's scheme for
Cuba, because it is also
a plan against our
people, Venezuelan
Foreign Minister Nicolas
Maduro stated in this
capital.
The new Bush designs for
Cuba are filled with
hate, resentment and
disdain towards our
peoples, and this is an
attack on all Latin
America, Maduro told
Prensa Latina.
"That is why nobody
should be quiet,
everyone must react to
those attacks," noted
the minister after
attending here an
important Mercosur
meeting.
"We express from
Montevideo our
admiration for Cuba and
proclaim that Bush's
statements only increase
our desire to side with
the Cuban people," he
stressed.
Maduro recalled that
"last Sunday, 95 percent
of Cubans went to vote
within the
institutionality of a
positive system made by
themselves in their own
sovereignty." "Bush's
statements are a
renovation of ancient US
colonialist yearnings,
exacerbated with the
resentment that Cuba is
firmer than ever," the
Venezuelan official
said.
Maduro stated that when
the UN General Assembly
debates October 30 for
the 16th consecutive
time the issue of the
blockade on Cuba , this
will have another
resounding political
victory. |
