Madrid, March 3. - The State Coordinating Body for Solidarity with Cuba (CESC, for its acronym in Spanish) of Madrid today affirmed the right of the Caribbean island to defend its territorial integrity by land, sea, and air.
In a statement sent to Prensa Latina, the CESC recalled that in the early morning of February 25, a terrorist speedboat entered Cuban territorial waters and opened fire on the Cuban maritime patrol that had ordered it to stop.
In the exchange of gunfire, four of the terrorists from Miami were killed and the Cuban coast guard commander was wounded, along with six other terrorists who were captured, it noted.
"The mercenaries captured by the coast guard have subsequently confessed to Cuban authorities their intention to perpetrate terrorist acts in Cuba, for which they were armed to the teeth," the source said.
The Cuban government has communicated this serious incident to the U.S. authorities, but the only thing the latter can think of is to verbally attack the revolutionary island, threatening military intervention, it added.
The statement also took the opportunity to highlight the U.S. and Israeli military attack on Iran as proof that imperialism was born littering the world with the corpses of its crimes and seems to intend to die in the same way.
Regarding the thwarted attempt at aggression by sea against Cuba, the CESC stressed that this is not the first time, and we fear it will not be the last, that attacks of this type have occurred.
Their perpetrators carry them out under the protection of the impunity granted to them by acting on behalf of imperialism in its terrorist attacks against Cuba, it noted.
In the midst of a fierce economic blockade against the largest of the Antilles, intensified by the Donald Trump administration, "they thought Cuba's response would be different (...) a glaring mistake, since Cuba has always been and will always be ready to defend its territory, its people, and its national sovereignty, no matter where the aggression comes from."
