Panama City, Jan. 2 (Prensa Latina) The National Coordinating Committee of Solidarity with Cuba in Panama rejected the blockade imposed by the United States on the island for more than six decades.

Since its inception in 1959, the text adds, the triumphant Cuban Revolution has been a victim of US pressure to conform to the White House’s policies.

The US has never forgiven Cuba for making the recovered wealth, which was being plundered by American companies, available for national development.

The policy of sanctions, sabotage, terrorism, and blockade—economic, commercial, financial, and even cultural—has become the daily reality of the empire against the largest of the Antilles, the statement underscores.

In this regard, the document adds, the solidarity of the peoples of Latin America, the Caribbean, and the world with the island has been the cornerstone for overcoming the coercive measures resulting from Washington’s genocidal imperial policy of dispossession, measures which, due to their magnitude, can only be confronted by peoples with a spirit of sacrifice and resilience.

The US blockade on Cuban only shows the erratic policy of using force, terrorism, and intolerance, the document states. Furthermore, Washington’s hostile policy of militarizing the region endangers peace, particularly with the threats of invading Venezuela and Colombia, the text warns.
