Yesterday for the 25th time Cuba presented to the UN General
Assembly the resolution calling for the "Necessity of ending the economic,
commercial and financial blockade of the United States of America against
Cuba."
This year the results were different; like last year there were
191 out of the 193 nations who voted in favor of lifting the inhumane blockade
but for the first time there was no country that voted against the resolution.
Two nations abstained including the promoters of this criminal
policy itself, the United States and, as it has done with servile obedience in
past votes - the Government of Israel.
This is a clear victory for the dignity and resistance of the
Cuban people and the Cuban government who have had to face the longest blockade
in history.
Get the facts |
The U.S. had to recognize themselves that this long-standing policy
of genocide has led to their embarrassing isolation.
Yesterday the world said NO to the blockade. Nevertheless, today
the United States continues with the policy.
From the Cuba
Solidarity Te Waipounamu we congratulate the people of Cuba and
their government in their emphatic victory and we renew our commitment to fight
tirelessly until the genocidal blockade against Cuba is finally over.
Viva Cuba!!
