Through a statement, released yesterday, the Cuban legislators endorsed the denunciation of the president of the Latin American and Caribbean Parliament (Parlatino) on the disproportionate deployment of US naval and air forces in the Caribbean, which includes a nuclear submarine and thousands of military personnel.

The commission noted that dozens of people have already died in attacks by US forces against civilian vessels, which it described as extrajudicial executions and flagrant violations of international law.

They warned that, under pretext of combating drug trafficking, the current administration of the White House seeks to “bring about the overthrow of the constitutional government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela” and appropriate its natural resources.

They also condemned Washington’s recent decision to arbitrarily close Venezuelan airspace, which they described as a “very serious threat” and an act of “psychological war”, in line with the condemnation expressed days ago by Foreign Ministerr Bruno Rodriguez.

Cuban parliamentarians denounced that the recent militarization in the Caribbean responds to the “philosophy of imperial domination” based on the Monroe Doctrine and constitutes a “gross interference” in sovereign affairs of the region.
