Counterrevolutionary groups are training shamelessly and with impunity in U.S. territory, with the aim of carrying out terrorist acts against our Homeland, taking advantage of the difficult context in our country, due to the world crisis generated by the pandemic and the tightening of the U.S. economic blockade against the Island; a situation now aggravated by the devastating hurricane that hit the western part of Cuba a few days ago.
One of these organizations is called Autodefensa del Pueblo (ADP) and was recently unmasked on Cuban Television. It has a plan of action, a very well organized structure and several links of command, which is directed by a council of war, headed by the notorious terrorist Manuel Milanés.
Some of the purposes of the ADP is to provide financial, logistical and media support to those in Cuba who lend themselves to its unhealthy purposes, explains Lázaro García Ríos, who was recruited by said organization to commit violent acts against economic targets in several points of the national territory, for which he is under arrest and he has confessed.
According to García Ríos, Willy González, treasurer of the so-called Autodefensas del Pueblo, and Alfredo González, in charge of recruiting people in our country through social networks, to whom he offers recharges, money and other gifts, are in charge of this task.
APD has modern weapons, including rocket launchers, machine guns, pistols and grenades, among other military equipment and boats to carry out their violent actions, said García Ríos- All this takes place in plain sight of the U.S. government, which, instead of confronting such behavior, cynically included Cuba in its list of countries sponsoring terrorism.
However, none of this is new for the island. Since 1959, counterrevolutionary elements protected by the United States carried out actions which, up to 1999, resulted in 3,478 deaths and 2,099 disabled, in addition to countless economic damages.
Some of the terrorist acts committed were the sabotage of the French steamship La Coubre; the promotion of banditry; machine-gunning and bombing of cities, towns and sugar mills; burning of sugar cane fields; murders of workers and militiamen; sabotage of commercial offices and diplomatic headquarters abroad, and attempted attacks against the main leaders of the Revolution.
