Havana, July 11 (RHC)-- Senator Omar Restrepo, from the Comunes party, and other Colombian congressional representatives expressed on Monday in Bogota their support for a public statement in support of the Cuban Revolution, issued by the Latin American and Caribbean Reflection Group.
In the text, the collectivity expressed its repudiation of the violent acts generated on July 11, 2021 that sought to "destabilize the social and political environment in Cuba, and resulted in serious acts of vandalism and violent attacks on members of the police force".
He stressed that the evidence of the origin of such destabilizing actions point to a massive operation of political and psychological warfare, instrumented from abroad and operated through digital warfare centers and tens of thousands of fake accounts in social networks.
"These destabilizing acts are part of the so-called Broad Spectrum War Strategy, which the Government of the United States has been applying for 60 years against the people of the Republic of Cuba", he stressed.
"This war also includes the inhuman economic, commercial and financial blockade, the manipulation of information, the financing of groups and individuals who oppose socialism on the island, the limitation of human contacts and exchanges, and other measures contrary to international law and human rights of Cubans and Americans," the text added.
It warned that this strategy of aggression intends that, overwhelmed by the limitations of all kinds and which have a harsh impact on their daily lives, the Cuban people will rise up against the revolutionary government, thus putting an end to independence, sovereignty and socialism in Cuba.
He stressed that all this is so in spite of the fact that the President of the United States, Joseph Biden, in the past was part of the government that decided to initiate a process of normalization of relations between his country and Cuba.
The statement remarked that in this context of permanent and irrational aggression against the Cuban Revolution, the decision of the White House to capriciously and unjustifiably exclude Cuba from the recently held "Summit of the Americas", a measure that was widely rejected by the peoples of the region.
The declaration was signed by leading figures from Latin America and the Caribbean, including Hugo Moldiz (Bolivia), Sigfrido Reyes and Raúl Llarull (El Salvador), Julio Muriente Pérez (Puerto Rico), Luis Alberto Albán Urbano (Colombia), Ricardo Patiño (Ecuador), among others.
