A statement from the PCE Central Committee points out that the messages disseminated by the US leader on the Truth Social network seek to “pressure and condition the political course of the Cuban Revolution” and are part of a historical strategy that views Latin America “as a zone of tutelage.”

The Party expressed its support for the position of Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel and maintained that the United States lacks the “ethical authority” to act as an international judge.

“Cuba is a free, independent, and sovereign nation, forged in prolonged resistance against 66 years of economic, diplomatic, and political aggression,” the statement, signed by PCE General Secretary Winston Alarcon, reads.

According to the statement, the Cuban people’s defensive preparedness is not based on militaristic logic, but rather on a “historical consciousness built on the concrete experience of imperialist siege.”

The organization expressed its “solidarity and internationalist commitment” to the people and government of Cuba and called on popular, working-class, and intellectual forces in the region to close ranks against what it described as a new escalation of threats.

“Defending Cuba means defending the right of peoples to decide their historical destiny without external tutelage, impositions, or coercion,” the statement concluded.
