Panamanian workers reject Cuba’s inclusion on US terrorism list

Panama, Jan 27 (Prensa Latina) The National Workers' Confederation of Panama (CNTP) on Monday rejected Cuba's inclusion on a unilateral list of countries sponsoring terrorism, according to the United States.

In a statement, the CNTP repudiated the recent measure by President Donald Trump, who was just sworn into office on January 20.

For this group, the Government of the United States is one of the main sponsors of wars, coups d’état and the application of terrifying sanctions in the world.

In addition, the document emphasizes that with this action, the Republican politician seeks to undermine the sovereignty, peace and well-being of the Cuban people and to subdue the Revolution that triumphed in 1959, but they will never achieve this. Various governments of the United States have ignored for more than two decades the decided support by the majority in the United Nations General Assembly to reject the criminal economic, financial and commercial blockade imposed by Washington on Cuba, the text stressed.

From the White House, Trump revoked the order of his predecessor, Joe Biden, which excluded Cuba from Washington’s State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT) list.

In this regard, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel stressed that the measure is an act of arrogance and contempt, which is not surprising and has the purpose of domination.

The action is one of several that the newly inaugurated president has taken in his first hours in office, related to orders and actions by Biden that he had considered harmful, and which he has begun to get rid of through a series of executive orders.
