French association disqualifies US imperial stance before Summit

Francia, Cuba, solidaridad, Cumbre, Américas
Paris, May 2 (Prensa Latina) The France Cuba Association on Monday denounced the US obstinacy in arrogating to itself the role of supreme judge in democracy and human rights to try to exclude Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela from the 9th Summit of the Americas.

In statements to Prensa Latina, the organization with more than six decades of solidarity work with the island said that Washington ratifies its policy of unilaterally sanctioning countries that do not submit to its mandates.

A week ago, Cuba, in the voice of its Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez, denounced the United States’ intention to exclude it from the forum, to be held in Los Angeles in June.

A few days later, Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Brian Nichols considered the invitations to Havana, Managua and Caracas as improbable, although they have not yet been issued.

According to the French association, Washington’s behavior is unacceptable because of its double standards, by using democracy and human rights as justifications for the possible exclusion, when it openly violates those principles.

How to describe a government that transgresses with impunity International Law by maintaining a genocidal blockade for more than 60 years against the Cuban people, despite the fact that most of the nations globally and US citizens themselves are opposed to it, it warned in allusion to the siege imposed on the island.

France Cuba repudiated the new US crusade against the Caribbean nation, Nicaragua and Venezuela and the pressures it exerts so that other Governments remain silent in the face of the manipulation it resorts to in its objective of excluding them from the 9th Summit of the Americas.
