Brasília, October 23. - The Brazil Section of the Antifascist International called for unified solidarity with Cuba on the eve of the United Nations vote on the resolution demanding an end to the blockade currently imposed on the Caribbean island.
The organization stated in a proclamation that, in 2025, several countries around the world—including Brazil itself—have felt a small sample, sometimes merely in the form of threats, of what the Cuban people have suffered since February 3, 1962.
The text denounces that Cuba continues to be the target of an economic war and geopolitical coercion aimed at suffocating its living conditions and provoking the fall of the revolutionary government, to replace it with a counterrevolutionary and pro-imperialist one.
According to the declaration, the blockade has solidified as a state policy of the imperialist system led by Washington, regardless of who occupies the White House.
According to estimates cited by the Brazilian section, losses caused by the restrictions from March 2024 to last February amounted to seven thousand five hundred million dollars.
The note recalls that the administration of Republican Donald Trump intensified the suffocation policy against Cuba starting in June by again including it on the list of state sponsors of terrorism, while the United States practices economic terrorism through sanctions and tariff increases against other nations.
As part of those measures, the Antifascist International details that direct or indirect financial transactions with entities linked to the Cuban government were prohibited, in addition to reinstating the ban on travel from the United States to Cuba and the restriction of entry to U.S. territory for those who visit it.
The section interprets the tightening of sanctions as part of a broader offensive against Latin America, marked by tariff wars, threats of military intervention against Venezuela, and coup conspiracies driven by fascist and terrorist agents of imperialism.
For this reason, Cuba will once again appeal to the UN General Assembly, which will meet on October 28 and 29, to demand, as it has since 1992, the lifting of the blockade.
Every year, the overwhelming majority of the world's nations vote in favor of Cuba, with the exception of the United States and its genocidal Zionist enclave, Israel, the text emphasizes, anticipating another campaign of diplomatic pressure from Washington.
The communiqué concludes with a call to multiply acts and solidarity demonstrations in various Brazilian cities, united in demanding an end to the blockade and in defense of peoples' sovereignty against imperialist policies. (Text and photo: PL)
