The member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Cuba and Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla condemned on Twitter the validity of the Mallory Memorandum and its repercussions on the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the U.S. on our country on the occasion of the 63rd anniversary of the promulgation of the document.
The Cuban Foreign Minister wrote that such "inhuman policy of maximum pressure and economic asphyxiation ignores the universal clamor for a better Cuba without a blockade."
He added that the "U.S. government applies the script of the Mallory Memorandum, enacted 63 years ago," but fails in its "attempt to subjugate a sovereign nation, a bastion of dignity and creative resistance."
In the tweet, Rodríguez Parrilla attached an excerpt from Lester Mallory's Secret U.S. Department of State Memorandum, in which he leaves in writing the fundamentals of his policy against the Island: "The majority of Cubans support Castro... The only foreseeable means of alienating internal support is through disenchantment and disaffection based on economic dissatisfaction and hardship.”
"every possible means should be undertaken promptly to weaken the economic life of Cuba.... a line of action which, while as adroit and inconspicuous as possible, makes the greatest inroads in denying money and supplies to Cuba, to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government," the text reads.
