With the headline “(Miguel) Diaz-Canel calls for stopping the ongoing ‘crime’ against Cuba,” the newspaper refers to a recent press conference by the president of the Caribbean nation.

“The international community must decide whether it will allow a crime like this, which is being perpetrated today against Cuba, which could be perpetrated against any other nation in the world, to be the future of humanity,” the president stated.

“Or whether we truly decide,” he added, “that what must be done is to lead a fight for solidarity, for cooperation, for sovereignty, for multilateralism, and for respect for the rights of all in the world.”

La Jornada also included a message from the Caribbean nation’s foreign minister, Bruno Rodriguez, published on the social network X.

“What defines the attitude of the US government toward Cuba and our people is the ruthless and prolonged economic war that several generations of Cubans have experienced.

This policy of aggression and blockade must change,” he emphasized. “It is not the belated, limited, and overpriced offer of material aid for a group of people with grossly opportunistic political aims,” he added.
