Joint Statement: Solidarity with the Cuban people! Hands off Cuba!

Solidarity with the Cuban people!

Hands off Cuba!

Following its imperialist intervention in Venezuela, the Trump administration, with sheer audacity, is further escalating its aggression against Cuba, resorting to absurd arguments and pretexts. In this context, it is planning a new operation to economically and commercially suffocate the Island of the Revolution by imposing tariffs and sanctions on states that supply Cuba with oil and other vital commodities, while even raising the possibility of a “naval blockade” of Cuba.

These measures come on top of the criminal blockade that the USA and its allies have imposed on Cuba for decades, subjecting the Cuban people to severe deprivation and shortages, as well as other actions by the Trump administration —continuing the policies of previous administrations— such as the reinstatement of Cuba on the despicable list of so-called “state sponsors of terrorism”.

We condemn the new threats of US imperialism against Cuba!

We express our solidarity with the Cuban people, the Communist Party of Cuba, and the Union of Young Communists of Cuba, who, drawing on their revolutionary traditions, can and will succeed in repelling this attack!

We call on the youth of every country to intensify their struggle and express their solidarity with the Island of the Revolution, demanding an end to the threats and the barbaric blockade of the island.

Cuba is not alone!

We march forward until the final victory of the peoples!
