Havana, July 10 (RHC)--Cuban Foreign Minister, Bruno Rodríguez Parilla, condemned on Twitter the articulation of discrediting campaigns against Cuba and reiterated that the island is open to solidarity and has the mechanisms for the entry of donations.

“While the people and the government face the COVID19 and they allocate all the resources to fight for health, those who block Cuba try to articulate discrediting campaigns. Despite the economic asphyxia and media opportunism, in our country, no one is left, nor will they be left helpless,” wrote Rodriguez.

On the same social media platform, the general director for the United States in the Foreign Ministry, Carlos Fernández de Cossío, described as ferocious and opportunistic the crusade on the Internet, which takes advantage of the difficult moment of the COVID-19 pandemic to discredit the work of the top leadership of the island, he said.

“In Cuba, solidarity aid is not rejected, nor is anyone abandoned,” he added.

For her part, the deputy director-general for the northern region, Johana Tablada, stressed that it is a lie that Cuba is blocking donations and recalled how in the island territory, the instruments for the arrival of resources necessary in the confrontation with COVID-19 are working well.

Given the interest of people in Mexico to cooperate with Havana, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal, Cubaminrex, pointed out that the contribution can be in cash to the account in the International Financial Bank: 0300000005336242, with the title: Donations for emergency.

There are also mechanisms to send medical supplies, such as plastic syringes, face shields, gloves, or surgical masks, and those who wish to participate in solidarity movements at the international level, the publication pointed out.
