US blockade decried; respect for Cuba demanded ahead Ibero-Am Summit

Madrid, Nov 4 (Prensa Latina) — The Federation of Associations of Cubans Residing in Spain (FACRE) "Jose Marti" issued a statement in the lead-up to the 30th Ibero-American Summit in Madrid, highlighting the United States blockade and demanding respect for the island's sovereignty.

  In the context of the summit and its parallel events, FACRE took the opportunity to reaffirm its defense of Cuba’s sovereignty, the right of its people to determine their own destiny, and the right of all states to participate in multilateral forums, free from interference or exclusion.

  In the text, the association reiterated its condemnation of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba, demanding its immediate lifting due to the dire consequences it has for the Cuban people.

  It added that the blockade’s effects extend to critical sectors, including food, healthcare, transportation, energy, production, and services.

  Furthermore, FACRE expressed its rejection of the so-called “Liberation Agreement” and any roadmap devised from abroad that seeks to replace Cuba’s constitutional order.

  The organization argued that this is neither a neutral proposal nor a simple call for dialogue, but rather a project for political and institutional transformation—one that aims to end the current system, dismantle the constitutional role of the Communist Party of Cuba, and establish a transitional government, followed by a roadmap for political and electoral reorganization.

  “Political disagreement does not grant anyone the right to make decisions for Cuba,” the statement declared.

  In this regard, FACRE clarified that those promoting this project do not represent the federation or the broader Cuban community residing in Spain, and that they have no mandate to speak on its behalf.
