San Salvador, May 2.- The Association of Cubans Resident in El Salvador (Acres Caguairan) condemned Thursday the application by the United States of Title III of the Helms-Burton Law against Cuba.
In a statement, Acres Caguairan joins the demand that Washington 'cease the ferocious economic, financial and commercial blockade imposed since 1962', a policy they called 'genocidal'.
The Cuban community in this Central American nation repudiated the application of a law that allows the filing of lawsuits against any person with U.S. expropriations, nationalized half a century ago.
We repudiate the decision to once again limit the remittances that Cuban residents in the United States send to their families and loved ones, and to further restrict the travel of U.S. citizens to Cuba,' the text adds.
Acres also denied President Donald Trump's recent accusations of an alleged Cuban military presence in Venezuela, and recalled that his compatriots provide mostly health services in that country.
With the activation of Title III of the Helms-Burton Act, which receives great rejection at the national and foreign levels, the Trump administration is taking another hostile measure against Cuba on May 2.
The controversial legislation, passed by the U.S. Congress in 1996, codifies the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by Washington almost 60 years ago against the island, and emphasizes its extraterritorial character. (Prensa Latina)
