Caracas, May 23 (Prensa Latina) Juan Carlos Frómeta, member of the International Relations Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba (Ccpcc), reaffirmed today in Caracas the island’s commitment to the Bolivarian Revolution.
.
Speaking this Friday at the International Forum Venezuela votes with dignity: a revolution that decides with the people, in the presence of more than 300 delegates from 35 countries, the Cuban official thanked the United Socialist Party, the Venezuelan people and the Venezuelan government for allowing him to accompany them in Sunday’s elections.
He stressed that it is an honor “to accompany the Bolivarian Revolution from the Cuban Revolution”, with which “we have a carnal empathy” because Cuba has suffered many of the aggressions of the last 20 years to this country.
The Caribbean politician dedicated his first message to the people of Palestine who “have been suffering the most vile and criminal fascist barbarism”, and extended the solidarity of the Party, Government and Cuban people to the Palestinians in the face of the massacre of the Israeli regime.
Frómeta remarked that these people need “help and solidarity” and ratified that Cuba will continue supporting the Palestinian people and claiming its just demand to create a free State with Jerusalem as its capital.
He recalled that in recent months more than 60 thousand people were killed in those territories, most of them women and children, and a higher number were mutilated.
In this sense, he stressed that “this is not a war, but a genocide what is being committed against the people of Palestine”, for which reason “our firm voice is raised against this form of fascism”, he affirmed.
The Ccpcc member referred to the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed on the island for more than six decades by the United States, which, he added, was intensified with 243 new measures during the first term of U.S. President Donald Trump.
He meant that, upon assuming his second term in the White House, one of the first decisions was to reinclude Cuba in the spurious list of countries that allegedly practice terrorism and recently made it in the list of nations that do not cooperate in the fight to eliminate that scourge.
“It is the image of the empire trying to drown a people that has done, more than anything else, to give solidarity and help the peoples of the world,” he opined.
Frómeta commented on the economic situation in his country, “quite complex”, and mentioned the existence of “a strategy and the will to move forward as in other battles”, without losing the principle of solidarity with the peoples of the world, bequeathed by the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro.
He said that despite the difficulties, Cuba preserves the Latin American School of Medicine, where hundreds of students from all over the world, including Americans, study free of charge, in addition to keeping thousands of doctors deployed to serve in more than 50 countries around the world.
