Nicaragua underscores Cuba’s resistance to US policies

Managua, Feb 3 (Prensa Latina) Nicaraguan Co-President Daniel Ortega on Monday underscored the resistance of the Cuban people and Government to the hostile policies of the US administration, which seeks to suffocate the Caribbean nation.

In his speech at the 12th Extraordinary Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP), Ortega alluded to the US blockade against Cuba.

At the meeting, held virtually, the Sandinista leader described the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by Washington on Havana for more than six decades as criminal, and highlighted the daily strength of Cubans.

“These are the challenges that humanity has had at all times. In the face of people who want peace, security, stability, education and health, the imperialists of the earth appear wanting to impose chains on these people,” he added.

According to Ortega, the history of imperialism in the Americas remains the same and he compared the US administrations to the Ku Klux Klan (a white supremacist terrorist hate group), while stating that there are times when they publicly hang and kill, while at other times they play with the dignity of the people.

In this regard, he recalled former US President Barack Obama, who on the one hand made a good gesture by reestablishing diplomatic relations with Cuba, while on the other, “he stabbed Venezuela by characterizing it as a threat to the security of the United States.”

And then by expelling thousands of migrants (…) he sold himself as the good president, but they are simply the same, the Nicaraguan co-president stressed.

According to Ortega, that is the reality that must be faced, but not with weapons, much less atomic ones, but with another more powerful weapon: “our peoples’ awareness and dignity.”
