Cuba's President Responds to Marco Rubio's War Propaganda
Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez

Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez

Cuba's president, Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez, posted this statement in response to the State Department report on his X/Twitter account.

“Thieves think everyone else is like them." 

Nothing more fitting to characterize the State Department report against Cuba, promoted by one of the most corrupt officials in the current administration, with proven ties to drug traffickers and terrorists from Florida.

If a country has spied on and aggressed against another to obscene levels, it has been the U.S. against Cuba.

The multimillion-dollar allocations that are annually earmarked for regime change programs in Cuba are public knowledge, resorting equally to subversion as to terrorism.

History records criminal episodes, including plagues and diseases introduced in Cuba, the hemorrhagic dengue that claimed the lives of 101 children; the downing of a plane with 73 people on board; the hotel bombings; the assassination attempts or psychological warfare.

Add to this the blockade and the genocidal dimension it acquires with the current reinforcement and energy siege. There is no greater act of subversion against a State, conceived and officially described by the US to exhaust the people and fracture their support for the Revolution.

What the Cuban Revolution has done throughout its history is to defend itself from these successive and endless aggressions, by legitimate right.

Cuba has never acted to harm the American people, nor has it sought to affect the national security of the United States.

The transnational neo-McCarthyism that is being reinstated in the US, from a clearly fascist current, resorts to lies to generate pretexts on which to sustain aggressions against Cuba and curb civil liberties in the US. 

Cuba is not a threat.
