London, October 5 (RHC)-- British solidarity activists with Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela have denounced the growing hostility of the U.S. government against these three Latin American countries, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the beginning of the virtual meeting, the member of the House of Lords of the British Parliament for the Labor Party, Christine Blower, called for redoubling support for these "three sister nations, victims of a common enemy," as they were called by the counselor of the Cuban Embassy in London, Julio Pujol.
"The U.S. government does not cease in its efforts to destroy us, close to us and block us, even in the midst of this terrible pandemic that is devastating humanity, and at times when solidarity and cooperation between peoples are more necessary than ever," the diplomat said.
The Nicaraguan academic Sofia Clark clarified, for her part, that instead of sanctions, the United States is applying "illegal coercive measures" against those three countries, in an attempt to reverse the social projects set in motion by the Sandinista, Cuban and Bolivarian revolutions in Nicaragua, Cuba and Venezuela, respectively.
Clark, from the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua, lamented, in turn, that other nations of the world, among them the European Union, have joined the U.S. campaign.
The Venezuelan Ambassador in Cuba, Adán Chávez, recalled that the "American Empire" considers Havana, Managua and Caracas the "triangle of evil" -- but in any case we would be, he said, a "triangle for good," because we promote solidarity and cooperation among equals.
That is the reality and we have demonstrated it in practice, said the brother of the late President Hugo Chávez, one of the promoters along with the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America, ALBA.
The Venezuelan diplomat also stressed that despite the unilateral blockades imposed against Cuba and Venezuela and similar measures applied against Nicaragua that prevent it from having access to equipment and medicines to combat COVID-19, the three countries show the best results in the region in terms of confronting the disease.
He noted, however, that the Venezuelan people are suffering from food shortages due to the loss of 99 percent of oil revenues, the nation's main source of currency. The purpose of these blockades against our countries is to create difficulties, generate discontent among the population and provoke a social outburst to achieve what they call a "regime change," warned Chavez.
