Havana, October 13 (RHC)-- Carlos Fernández de Cossio, Director for the United States of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba (MINREX), has denounced the delivery of money from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to organizations that promote a political opposition in Cuba.

In a message issued on his Twitter account, Fernández de Cossio highlighted that this is how the supposed "American-style democracy" is handled.  The money recently used for such actions exceeds 400 thousand dollars and this time the beneficiary is Digital News Association (DNA), an anti-Cuban organization in Florida.

"USAID, a federal agency of the United States government, grants $410,000 to hire or buy a political opposition against #Cuba.  It's democracy The American Way.  DNA, an anti-Cuban organization in Florida of the many that live off taxpayer money, is the beneficiary this time," the Cuban diplomat wrote.

The tweet refers to the delivery by USAID of amounts of money totaling $3.8 million, which have been gradually granted to organizations related to Cuba, with a history of attacks and campaigns against the revolutionary government.

Along with DNA, organizations such as the so-called Democracy Support Group, or the Bacardi Foundation, which received more than $600,000 each, or the Cuban Human Rights Observatory Association, which obtained a quarter of a million dollars.

Many of the organizations that have received money from USAID this year argue on their websites or social network profiles that all or almost all of their work is focused on the Cuba issue, which is a clear intrusion into the internal affairs of another country, since they are U.S.-based groups.
