Stop the escalation of aggression against Cuba!

joint statement of communist & workers parties on Cuba

 We firmly condemn US imperialism’s new escalation of aggression against the sovereignty and

independence of Cuba and against the rights of the Cuban people.

The US President’s Executive Order calling Cuba an «unusual and extraordinary threat» against its

security is merely creating, based on a pack of falsehoods, a cynical pretext by US imperialism to

try and prevent the supply of fuel to Cuba and to step up the economic, financial and trade embargo

which it has imposed for over six decades, in an attempt to cause maximum harm to the Cuban

people’s living conditions.

This escalation of US aggression against Cuba, which is accompanied by the threat to impose

arbitrary coercive measures of an extra-territorial nature, represents yet another unacceptable and

blatant violation of the principles of the United Nations Charter and of international law, an affront

to the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace and a threat to world

peace and security.

The new threshold of US aggression and blackmail against Cuba is part and parcel of the broader

plan by US imperialism to impose its domination on Latin America and the Caribbean, in the spirit

of the Monroe Doctrine, a plan which also includes the recent military aggression against Venezuela

with the kidnapping of its President, Nicolás Maduro, and the threats against Colombia, Mexico and

other countries in the region.

Imperialism’s aggressive onslaught is a threat, not just to the sovereignty and rights of the Cuban

people, but also to other peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean and to all peoples of the

world. This onslaught represents the greatest threat to world peace and requires a firm and persistent

resistance and struggle by the workers and the peoples, for sovereignty, rights, peace and

internationalist solidarity.

In hailing the example of courage, determination, peace, cooperation and solidarity provided by

Cuba to the world, we demand an immediate end to all threats and hostile steps by the USA against

Cuba, including an end to the cruel, criminal and illegal blockade, thus fulfilling the demands of

numerous Resolutions of the UN General Assembly.

We express our solidarity with Socialist Cuba and call for the broadest international solidarity in

defense of its independence and sovereignty and of the rights of the Cuban people, including the

right to decide their future, in peace and free from foreign interference and pressure.

Cuba is not alone! Cuba will win!
