Minister Bruno
Rodriguez discussed
the UN vote and the
blockade.</div>

<div
style="text-align:left"><b>Bruno Rodríguez: \u201cThe U.S. blockade is
collective
punishment against
the Cuban people\u201d<br>
</b><br>
Cuban Foreign Minister
Bruno Rodríguez
Parrilla denounced in
an exclusive interview
with teleSUR the
intensification of US
pressure on the
international
community to maintain
the economic,
commercial, and
financial blockade
against Cuba, and
reaffirmed that the UN
General Assembly will
vote again in favor of
its elimination.<br>
<br>
In a conversation with
journalist Marcela
Rodríguez, the Cuban
Foreign Minister
highlighted that the
debate held at the
United Nations General
Assembly included the
participation of more
than seven groups of
countries, including
the Non-Aligned
Movement and the Group
of 77 and China, who
spoke on behalf of
more than 100 states
each, in addition to
22 individual national
interventions.<br>
<br>
Rodríguez emphasized
that the majority of
member countries spoke
out "in defense of
international law, the
United Nations
Charter, and the
demand for the
immediate and
unconditional
cessation of the
blockade against
Cuba," as well as
against the
unjustified inclusion
of the country on the
US list of alleged
sponsors of terrorism.<br>
<br>
He noted that Cuba is
attending this debate
amid a complex
context: the imminent
arrival of Hurricane
Melissa, which
threatens eastern Cuba
and several Caribbean
islands, and the
persistence of a
blockade that worsens
the island's
humanitarian and
economic situation.<br>
<br>
During the interview,
Rodríguez explained
that his address to
the plenary session
will focus on three
main topics. First, he
will address the
humanitarian and
everyday damage the
blockade is inflicting
on Cuban families:
power outages, food
and medicine
shortages, the
transportation crisis,
and the loss of
purchasing power.
"These damages
transcend the
macroeconomic level;
they impact the lives
of every Cuban," he
noted.<br>
<br>
Second, the minister
addressed the US
government's policy of
aggression toward
Latin America, which
he described as an
attempt to reestablish
the Monroe Doctrine
and reimpose the
"gunboat policy"
through military
deployment against
Venezuela and the
region.</div>
<div
style="text-align:left"><br>
</div>
<div
style="text-align:left">The third point of his presentation will address
the violation of
international law
represented by the
application of a
genocidal blockade,
which he described as
"a massive, flagrant,
and systematic
violation of the human
rights of the Cuban
people."<br>
<br>
"The US representative
is lying."<br>
<br>
The Foreign Minister
responded to the
statements made by the
US delegate to the UN,
accusing him of lying
and disrespecting the
General Assembly.<br>
<br>
"This year, the State
Department has
launched a pressure
campaign against
virtually every
country, particularly
in Europe. They have
sent memoranda,
letters, and warnings
to modify votes and
speeches. It is a sign
of desperation, a
recognition of the
isolation in which the
US government finds
itself," he stated.<br>
<br>
Rodríguez denounced
the policy against
Cuba as "personal and
corrupt," driven by
political interests in
the state of Florida,
and added that it
"betrays the interests
of the American
people, most of whom
support the
normalization of
relations."<br>
<br>
Regarding the US
representative's
remarks, he explained:
"He offended the
president of the
General Assembly and
all the member states;
he spoke arrogantly
and without civility.
That is why I felt
obliged to ask that he
be called to order."<br>
<br>
Millions in Damage and
Incalculable Suffering<br>
In his economic
assessment, Rodríguez
Parrilla revealed that
the damage caused by
the blockade in the
last year amounts to
more than $7 billion,
while the accumulated
losses over six
decades are
"enormous."<br>
<br>
"The extreme
tightening of the
blockade since 2019
demonstrates an
increase of more than
40% in economic
damage. But what
cannot be counted," he
said, "is the
suffering, anxiety,
and deprivation it
causes every day in
our families. Even so,
the Cuban people
remain united and
aware that the
blockade is the main
cause of our
difficulties."<br>
<br>
The Foreign Minister
assured that Cuba will
resist and win:
"Tomorrow will be a
resounding victory for
our people, for the
Revolution, and for
the free peoples of
Latin America and the
Caribbean. It will be
a triumph of
international law,
reason, and justice."<br>
<br>
"The Monroe Doctrine
has historically
failed."<br>
<br>
Referring to the
regional context, the
Cuban diplomat warned
that the United States
seeks to return the
continent to
supremacist and racist
domination.<br>
<br>
"Its military
deployment does not
combat drug
trafficking, but
rather constitutes an
existential threat to
Venezuela's
independence and the
sovereignty of the
entire region," he
noted, while
reiterating that Cuba
and Venezuela will
always stand together
under any
circumstance.<br>
<br>
Rodríguez affirmed
that the so-called
Monroe Doctrine is
"obsolete and
historically
defeated," although he
warned that it remains
dangerous due to its
attempt to restore old
forms of domination.
"The peoples of Latin
America and the
Caribbean will persist
in defending the
principles bequeathed
by Bolívar, Martí,
Fidel, and Chávez," he
affirmed.<br>
<br>
He acknowledged the
words of support from
Saint Vincent and the
Grenadines and other
Caribbean countries
that, in the General
Assembly, have
directly pointed out
the US government's
responsibility for the
"cruel, genocidal, and
abusive" policy
against Cuba.<br>
<br>
Rodríguez concluded
the interview by
reaffirming his
confidence in the
upcoming UN vote: "We
will defend peace, we
will defend
sovereignty. And
tomorrow, all peoples
will have a great
victory in the General
Assembly."<br>
