Venezuelan Grassroots Organizations Express Support for Cuba
Grassroots organizations warned that Washington’s current intentions represent the continuation of a criminal policy of more than six decades of economic, commercial and financial blockade.
Venezuelan communal organizations praised the Cuban people’s creative resistance in the face of arbitrary U.S. sanctions and rejected accusations against Army Gen. Raul Castro and members of the Cuban military, emphasizing that those accusations criminalize the defense of territorial integrity. Finally, the social movements issued an urgent international call to stop the White House’s policy of hostility, demanding the immediate lifting of the blockade, Cuba’s removal from the list of state sponsors of terrorism and the end of what they described as unfounded judicial charges against Castro.
