MIAMI, United States. — The US embargo continues to be the burning nail of the Cuban regime. This was demonstrated by the appointed ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel this Tuesday in his speech during the central act for July 26, which took place in the province of Cienfuegos.
In the speech of Raúl Castro’s successor there was no lack of apology for the Revolution and, of course, constant references to the embargo. And it is that Díaz-Canel mentioned the word “blockade” up to 11 times in just 26 minutes of intervention, too many for a relatively short speech.
In the midst of the worst economic crisis in recent decades, the president recalled that it is the 63-year blockade that has prevented economic flourishing on the Island.
“Although in the midst of an unfortunate and long blackout mixed with the suffocating summer of these days, some may feel that nothing is worse than the series of negative events that we have been suffering and seek relief by cursing, in the depths of their souls everyone understands that, inefficiencies Besides, the blockade is at the root, at the trunk, at the branches and at the fruits of our economic difficulties”, the president pointed out in his speech.
For Díaz-Canel, the vicissitudes of the Cuban are the consequence of an “imperial logic” that “bets on amnesia and social paralysis.”
“They intend that, under the pressure of the material needs generated by their infamous 63-year blockade, the people’s spirit of resistance gives in and until the last generation forgets why a socialist Revolution of the humble was made, with the humble and for the poor.” humble 90 miles from the American dream,” he said.
Another of the theses that the president held in his speech is that the US embargo is “the best proof that socialism does work.”
“The economic, financial and commercial blockade, the rabid persecution that this policy of a powerful empire against a small nation has become, is, right now, the best proof that socialism does work, because even under the fire that means being blocked we have built a work of social justice that places us at the level of the most advanced countries in key indicators of human development such as infant mortality, life expectancy at birth, access to health, education, culture or sports and the levels of security and citizen protection”.
Miguel Díaz-Canel also demanded that the United States government lift the “total and unconditional” embargo.
“Our conclusion is that the blockade is maintained because without it this country would be a model of human society that is too subversive for the world order. And those who think the opposite from the ‘sidewalk in front’, from those who impose and support the blockade against all civilized and humanistic logic, let them lift it totally and unconditionally now! Take away our pretext!”
