HAVANA, Cuba, Apr 4 (acn), -- The Spanish media company Lleida.net expressed its willingness to provide the necessary information about its participation in the project ZunZuneo, a social network created by the U.S. government to promote opposition in Cuba.

According to research by the Associated Press news agency, the project funded with public money of Americans included hiring Lleida.net to send messages to Cuba devoid of identification.

In a statement Prensa Latina news agency had access to, LLeida.net denies having participated “actively " in the program that ran from 2010 to 2012 and expresses its readiness to assist in the clarification of the facts.

“If at any time users of Lleida.net have committed any illegal act, Lleida.net is, as it has always been, at the disposal of the competent authorities to provide the necessary information provided by the legally established channels", reads the statement.

The company argues that as a telecommunications operator it is subject to secrecy of communications and cannot verify, intervene or modify the contents of the messages from clients.

Lleida.net is a telecommunications operator used by thousands of customers worldwide for sending and receiving text messages transparently, it reads.

Carlos Sanchez Almeida, a lawyer specializing in European protection law, told AP the program appears to violate Spanish privacy laws.

Sánchez Almeida hinted that to make the lists they probably used personal information from a phone list obtained illegally and unsolicited messages were sent through a Spanish platform.

The information released in an Associated Press article on Thursday confirms the reiterated denunciations made by the Cuban government, reads a statement by the Cuban Foreign Ministry referring to the revelations about recent plans by Washington to destabilize the island.

In the statement the General Director for the United States at the Foreign Ministry says that the issue reveals that the US administration has not renounced its subversive plans against Cuba, aimed at creating destabilizing situations to lead to political changes, all based on multi-million funds every year.

The government of the United States must respect International Law and the aims and principles of the UN Charter, and therefore, they must stop their illegal and convert actions against Cuba, which are rejected by the Cuban people and world public opinion, the statement reads.
