The president of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, has taken advantage of the loudspeaker of the UN General Assembly to denounce the “merciless economic war” that, in his opinion, the United States is waging once morest the island and whose main exponent is the “suffocating “economic embargo imposed more than half a century ago.
Diaz-Canel has charged once morest the “blockade” measures imposed from Washington and that prevent the free movement of people and goods, warning that, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the North American Administration “opportunistically escalated to an even greater dimension.” most extreme, cruel and unjustified” embargo.
The Cuban president has regretted that “unilateral” measures, “euphemistically called sanctions”, have become tools at the service of “powerful states” to “destroy” economies and “subjugate sovereign states.” In this sense, he has questioned the punishments not only once morest Cuba, but also once morest Venezuela, Nicaragua, Iran, North Korea and Syria.
In this sense, he has called for assuming the new global context and betting on multilateralism, which also involves a “profound transformation” of the global financial architecture, which he considers “deeply unfair, anachronistic and dysfunctional.”
The current economic framework, he added, only seeks to “perpetuate a system of domination” and “reproduce a system of modern colonialism”, which is why he hopes to change the institutions so that the countries of the South also have “true decision-making capacity.”
Díaz-Canel has also dedicated part of his speech to climate change, since it “threatens the survival of all with irreversible effects.” “It is also no secret that those who influence the climate crisis the least are those who suffer the most from its effects,” he noted.
In this sense, he has accused the most industrialized countries, “voracious predators of resources and the environment”, of evading their responsibilities and failing to fulfill successive promises signed in international forums.
