Havana, Feb 16.- Local press media today highlight the condemnation of the United States government's economic war against Cuba, made by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the island, Carlos Fernández de Cossío.
The deputy minister denounced in Havana the US governmental hostility that the Caribbean nation has faced for more than six decades and also criticized the media treatment of Washington's policies against the Cuban people.
Fernández de Cossío stated that US media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal and The Economist describe Cuba's situation without impartiality, showing enthusiasm for the country's difficulties and omitting critical judgments about the aggressor, according to reports from Granma and Juventud Rebelde, among other digital and print media.
Likewise, they add, he affirmed that the current situation is a consequence of a prolonged policy of hostility, characterized by disproportionate, ruthless, and asymmetric actions, which seek to weaken the Cuban economy and society.
Cuba has the accumulated experience in self-defense against 67 years of imperialist aggression, as well as a social justice system that allows for the adoption of equitable measures to protect the population, he noted.
According to the texts, for the official, the Cuban socialist model facilitates the priority allocation of resources, encourages solidarity, and mobilizes national will to face current challenges.
On the other hand, they report that he highlighted on his Facebook profile the letter disseminated by The People's Forum, signed by artists and personalities such as Jane Fonda, Ed Harris, Indya Moore, Silvio Rodríguez, Roger Waters, and Tatiana Maslany, who demanded an end to the policy of suffocation against Cuba.
According to that document, "the oil blockade imposed by the US administration threatens to close hospitals and schools, while solidarity organizations send generators and solar panels to guarantee the electricity supply in health centers," the press reports state. (PL) (Photo: Takenfrom Internet)
