On a day when irrefutable arguments defending Cuba were much more convincing than any of the slanders presented by a small group of European Parliament members, the European Union reaffirmed its commitment to the Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement signed with Cuba and condemned the U.S. blockade.
Among the many representatives who rejected the hostile initiative was Pernando Barrena, who urged the body to strengthen the historic relations between Europe and Cuba, and demanded that the U.S. end the unjust blockade of more than 60 years, while recalling that this brutal policy has been rejected 27 times by the United Nations.
For his part, Javier López noted that the Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement allows for constructive, critical and respectful relations between the two parties.
Regarding the failed attempt to discredit Cuba, Italy’s Massimiliano Smeriglio emphasized: "Let us not get carried away by this farce," and once again thanked our country for providing help to his during one of the worse moments of the pandemic.
European Parliament member Manuel Pineda reiterated that Cuba respects human rights, and not only those of its own people, serving as an example of international solidarity around the world.
