SLP, Mexico.- Cuban-American congressmen They described President Joe Biden’s decision to remove Cuba from the list of countries sponsoring terrorism as “treason”, a measure announced this Tuesday, January 14.
In one transmission jointly by Mario Díaz-Balart, María Elvira Salazar and Carlos Giménez, the politicians denounced that Biden’s resolution economically strengthens the Castro regime so that it remains in power.
“This is just the latest betrayal of the National Security of the United States, of the cause of the freedom of the Cuban people,” they condemned in his emphatic message.
The elimination of Cuba as “State sponsor of terrorism” It gives “economic oxygen to the repressive apparatus of the Castro regime so that it continues repressing the people.”
“That’s basically what he does, he gives them a bucket of money so they can remain in power,” they repudiated and referred to Anthony Blinken’s promises that they would not remove Cuba from the list, but an order from the White House there was ruled do it.
With this determination, just five days before the end of his presidential term, the congressmen fear that the Biden administration will pronounce other measures that harm the Cuban people.
“Biden is rejecting the dreams of freedom of Cubans and damaging the interests of this country. It is a final act that demonstrates the failure of his administration,” they declared.
However, they assure that when Donald Trump assumes the presidency, the “party” for the regime will end. “President Trump, the best friend of the cause of freedom in the world, will crush this measure and restore sanctions to the Castro regime.”
President Joe Biden’s administration suspended This Tuesday Title III of the Cuban Freedom and Democratic Solidarity Law that came into force in 1996 and removed Cuba from the list that designates it as a State sponsor of terrorism.
A senior administration official stated that it was also eliminating a list of restricted Cuban government entities that cannot do business with the United States, thus revoking Presidential National Security Memorandum 5 of 2017.
The decision would come after a promise from the Havana regime to the Catholic Church to release political prisoners.
The elimination of this prohibition would give room for financial transactions with the military conglomerate GAESA and other “satellite” companies dependent on it.
When referring to this fact, the Cuban opposition leader Rosa María Payácoordinator of the citizen platform Cuba Decide, considered the measures unjustified, since they help the Cuban military and do not benefit the people.
None of these actions really help the Cuban people get out of the crisis, he argued, insisting that the revocation of sanctions on the Cuban military leadership makes it possible to finance repression in Cuba.
