Trump’s warning to Castroism has motivated immediate reactions from its leaders, most recently Manuel Marrero and Johana Tablada.
LIMA, Peru – After Donald Trump’s warning to the Cuban regime to negotiate “before it was too late” and the immediate rejection of the dictator Miguel Díaz-Canel, the congresswoman for Florida María Elvira Salazar spoke on social networks with a message to the Castro ruler.
“As a dictator put in hand, you will have to answer for all the atrocities that you and your predecessors did to the Cuban people,” wrote the congresswoman. on X (formerly Twitter).
Salazar listed several of the crimes of the Cuban dictatorship in recent decades, highlighting the “cold-blooded” shooting down of the Hermanos al Rescate planes, the shootings, the political prisoners, as well as “the families destroyed and forced into exile.”
“For a country kidnapped for decades by fear and repression. You do not represent the people. You represent a criminal machine sustained by terror,” he stressed.
In the words of the Florida representative, history does not forget and justice comes, sooner or later. “Impunity is ending,” Salazar warned.
The president of the United States published a message this Sunday on his account Social Truth with a forceful warning to the tyranny on the Island.
The president recalled that Cuba was supported, for many years, by large amounts of oil and money from Venezuela. In exchange, Castroism provided “security services” to the last two Venezuelan dictators, Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro.
“But not that anymore!” Trump emphasized. “Most of those Cubans are dead because of last week’s US attack, and Venezuela no longer needs protection from the thugs and extortionists who held it hostage for so many years.”
“There will be no more oil or money going to Cuba. Zero! I strongly suggest that you reach an agreement before it is too late,” wrote the American president.
Trump’s publication motivated a hasty reaction from the leadership of the Communist Party, including the dictator Miguel Díaz-Canel, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez, and more recently from Johana Tablada de la Torre, ambassador of the Foreign Service, and Manuel Marrero, prime minister of the regime.
“Cuba is a free, independent and sovereign nation. Nobody tells us what to do. Cuba does not attack, it was attacked by the United States 66 years ago, and it does not threaten, it prepares, willing to defend the Homeland to the last drop of blood,” Díaz-Canel asserted.
For his part, Tablada de la Torre addressed the current administration in Washington with a tone of sarcasm and disdain.
“Marco Rubio, the cowardly and lying remote bully Secretary of State, national insecurity advisor, head of USAID funds for intervention and disinformation operations, managed to get Trump to dedicate his Sunday threat and ultimatum to us,” the official stated.
