Paris, September 27 (RHC)-- French left-wing politician Jean-Luc Melenchon criticized the U.S. blockade of Cuba before the country's National Assembly Wednesday, calling it an act of war.
During a session to ratify the Political Dialogue and Cooperation and Agreement between Cuba and the European Union, Melenchon, along with other legislators, expressed their opposition to Washington's decades-long policy.
Meanwhile, the President of the France-Cuba Friendship Group, Fransuá Michel Lambert, noted that the blockade is the longest and most far-reaching system of sanctions imposed on any country in history.
Lambert recalled that the international community is set to reject this policy once again when Cuba submits a resolution on the impact of the blockade to a General Assembly vote, which will be held on October 31st.
