Havana, Jan 24. - The Union of Journalists of Cuba (UPEC) issued a declaration rejecting the hostile policy of Donald Trump, the new president of the United States, who on the first day of his second term again included Cuba on the unilateral list of states sponsoring terrorism.
The president who has returned to the White House is the same one who, resorting to lies and manipulation in a media war that does not stop, in addition to escalating the blockade against the Cuban people, tried to annihilate it by multiple means, including depriving him of oxygen, masks and other resources to face a lethal pandemic, the statement that, because of its importance, we transmit in full below.
Declaration of the Union of Journalists of Cuba
At the premiere of his new presidential term Donald Trump has exhibited the criminal attitude he already had in the previous one. Without any moral or legal basis, his bracknoweding has been displayed internationally with the media spectacularity of an egolatra tycoon and convicted criminal.
Against Cuba in particular the "Republican" takes up the scratch with which it had already strengthened the blockade with extreme measures that its predecessor, Democrats, maintained despite promises of electoral purposes.
Once again the imperialist nature of a system that violates human rights in the world and its accumulated anger at a reality that has not managed or managed to twist are confirmed both the imperialist nature of a system of a system that its people deserves to have and the imperialist forces are determined to prevent it.
To deprive her of that achievement, the United States government introduced the blockade more than six decades ago, and one after another its administrations have seen their efforts fail, although they have caused serious damage to Cuba.
The president who has returned to the White House is the same one who, resorting to lies and manipulation in a media war that does not stop, in addition to escalating the blockade against the Cuban people, tried to annihilate him by multiple means, including depriving him of oxygen, masks and other resources to face a lethal pandemic.
With creativity and effort Cuba achieved vaccines of proven effectiveness, which continue to deserve planetary admiration, in spite of the slanderous propaganda of the same nation that was far from being able to manage the pandemic as its own people needed, and that has been complicit or co-sponsor of monstrosities such as genocide in Palestine.
It takes a lot of cynicism to proclaim that the measures taken to strangle the Cuban people seek to defend their freedom. Cuba was liberated in 1959 against a tyranny supported by the empire that Trump represents today, and the Cuban people will continue to resolutely address the imperialist forces.
If anything they will succeed, it will be ratified in the decision to overcome any obstacles in their way, and do everything necessary for the collective good. Thus he will maintain the dignity that so much blood and so much sweat has cost him to achieve, in the face of an empire whose outskirts portray him in his murderous nature and his irreversible decadence.
Cuba's guide remains its unrenunciable Homeland or Death, we'll win. (Text and photo: ACN)
