The Cuban -American congressman predicts the end of the regimes of Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua and proposes to treat Havana as a threat to US safety.
Miami, United States. -Cuban American congressman Mario Díaz-Balart said Friday that the regimes of Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua will not survive “these four years” of the current US administration. “I am convinced that these dictatorships do not survive these four years of Trump,” he said in An interview with presenter Alexander Otaola.
During the conversation, the legislator said that Havana integrates the criminal structure that supports Chavismo: “Havana is part of the cartel,” he said. In his opinion, “the narco-cattel again in Venezuela, obviously you have to eliminate it.” In that scenario, he said that the Venezuelan ruler faces only “three options”: “start” and look for a place to live in Russia; end as the Panamanian dictator Manuel Antonio Noriega, who was sentenced in the US for drug trafficking; or follow the path of General Iraní Qassem Soleimani, which was liquidated by the US in 2020. “The option to stay in power (…), I think it does not exist,” Díaz-Balart finished.
Asked by Otaola about the possibility that the US adopts more forcefulness against the Venezuelan regime, the Cuban American legislator replied that the current administration “is very clear” and advanced an increase in pressure: “It comes much more, more pressure comes, more pressure comes, and with very serious impacts.” He also stressed that Washington not only presses the “tyrants”, but to those who “help those tyrants.”
The congressman supported the idea that Havana is formally treated as a threat to US national security at that point, insisted that his speech seeks to convince the administration and the National Court that “the days of accepting [a] A terrorist at 90 miles from the US have to end. ”
Díaz-Balart also addressed the possible designation of the Communist Party of Cuba as a terrorist organization, a petition that Otaola raised him in Chamber. The legislator reiterated his harmony with the general objective and stressed that his strategy involves articulating evidence on the risk of the regime: “We have to demonstrate (…) that it is a danger to the national security of the United States,” he insisted.
On Venezuela, Díaz-Balart said that Washington already “declared war on the narco-cartels” and that Nicolás Maduro “He is not a head of state” but “a narco-terrorist who, unfortunately, has taken over a country.” He reiterated that there is a determination to “eliminate” the Los Sol Cartel and its dome, and placed Havana into that framework.
At the international level, Díaz-Balart said that “there are 20,000 Cubans in Ukraine fighting in favor of the Russians.” He pointed out that “many of them are victims,” but framed that phenomenon in what he described as the projection of the Cuban regime in favor of Moscow. He asked Washington’s allies Coherence: “That of giving loans and funds and legitimacy to a terrorist at 90 miles [de EE. UU.] It has to end, ”he insisted again.
In immigration matters, Díaz-Balart said that the flow of slender regime and operators towards the US was facilitated under previous policies, and defended establishing differentiated processes and strict verifications for nationals of Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, in order to protect internal security. In parallel, he reiterated his support for legal solutions for the real persecuted.
The interview closed with a commitment of the legislator to continue articulating actions with other congressmen from Florida. “We are all in the same thing,” he said.
