MIAMI, United States. – Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez urged the United States Government on Wednesday to eradicate human rights violations in his country.
Through his Twitter account, the island’s Minister of Foreign Affairs assured that the United States should solve its human rights problems, instead of spending millions of taxpayer dollars to misinform about the situation of children in Cuba.
In the same message, he said that the United States had deported more than 11,000 Central American infants in the first half of this year, a figure that represents an increase of 10,400% compared to the same period in 2021, according to the foreign minister.
Rodríguez Parrilla’s tweet was criticized by numerous Cubans who reminded him of the situation of children on the island and asked him to refer to human rights violations in their own country.
“Instead of allocating millions of USD to build luxury hotels, the Cuban regime should guarantee at least one glass of milk to those children it claims to defend,” tweeted the user identified as Taoro.
“Why don’t you speak better about Cuba? The ship sinks and you looking north? Look at all the children who don’t have anything to wear or eat breakfast.” asked the user Yaisel Dueñas Sánchez.
