The national coordinator of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR) referred to more than 25 violations of Cuban airspace by the terrorist organization Hermanos al Rescate between 1994 and 1996, and denounced that Washington ignored the warnings from Havana.

“His silence was complicity. His inaction was encouragement for the terrorists,” he denounced.

Hernandez called the accusation against the leader of the Revolution, Raúl Castro, “a despicable and illegal political provocation” that is complemented “by the resentment, frustration and impotence of those who cannot bear to see Cuba standing, free and sovereign.”

The Hero of the Republic questioned the US government’s hypocrisy: it demands for itself what it denies to others. Inaction on Cuba’s warnings proves its complicity in terrorism.

“When will Trump be tried for ordering the killing of more than 200 people in international waters, without showing any evidence?” , he asked.

“For the United States, law is a suit made-to-measure: fitted for the weak, relaxed for the powerful,” he declared.

The people of Cuba reaffirmed in the Tribune its unwavering decision to defend the revolution and their absolute support for Army General Raul Castro, “with his courage and character of patriotic tradition,” he concluded.
