The Attorney General's Office of the Republic reports that warnings have been issued to a small number of Cuban citizens in the provinces of Havana, Villa Clara, Cienfuegos and Holguin, who publicly persist in promoting and holding a march, for which authorization was denied by government officials in eight provinces, last October 12, after determining that the intended demonstrations were illegal.
The Attorney General's actions, warning these citizens of the legal consequences of holding the marches, make clear that anyone failing to comply with the decision made by local government authorities would be committing the crimes of contempt, unlawful demonstration, instigating delinquency or others established and sanctioned in current criminal legislation.
Yahimara Angulo González, deputy chief prosecutor in Havana, stated that the action taken was based on Article 156 of the Constitution, which assigns the Attorney General's Office the mission of ensuring strict compliance with the Magna Carta, the law and other legal provisions, by all citizens.
Furthermore, she added, Law 83 authorizes state prosecutors to interview, warn, take statements and conduct any other type of procedure that may be necessary to fulfill this responsibility. Also established are stipulations to protect the rights and interests of state bodies, institutions and agencies; promote and contribute to enforcement of the law, prevention of crimes and antisocial behavior, and the strengthening of citizens’ conscious observance of legal norms.
Sufficient reason has been publicly presented to make clear the annexationist nature of the purported marches, promoted by persons financed from abroad, who, falsely presenting their intentions as pacific, seek to generate chaos and destabilization of the country, as part of a regime change strategy based on well-known soft coup formulas, tried and tested in other nations.
The enthusiastic support march promoters have received in the United States is led by the counterrevolutionary leaders of the so-called Council for the Democratic Transition of Cuba, a subversive platform, whose members have openly acknowledged receiving financing from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), which has a long history of subversion in Cuba.
The mercenary provocation has been publicly and notoriously backed by U.S. legislators, political operators of the anti-Cuban mafia, and communications media that encourage all manner of attacks on the Revolution.
Among the most rabid supporters of the provocation are Congress members Marco Rubio, Mario Diaz-Balart and Maria Elvira Salazar; the terrorist Gutierrez Boronat; the infamous Cuban American National Foundation; and frustrated invaders from Brigade 2506, defeated at Playa Giron.
The Constitution of the Republic contains very clear precepts regarding malicious intentions like those of the provocateurs. No one has the right to take action in the interests of a foreign power or jeopardize the stability of the public order. Joining an annexationist project is unconstitutional, illegitimate and immoral.
