In a statement, the party, led by jurist Duberli Rodriguez, former president of the Supreme Court, rejected the words of the extremist head of the White House against Cuba.

  “The hegemonic tyranny of the President of the United States has placed Cuba in the crosshairs of its aberrant aggressions, after perpetrating an assault and kidnapping in Venezuela, in violation of international norms,” the document adds.

  It points out that Trump, with his extortionate threats, intends to subdue by force the heroic Cuban Revolution, which has resisted for more than half a century all maneuvers aimed at destroying it.

  It warns that the Latin American people identify with the Cuban Revolution and feel every threat against Cuba deeply, which goes beyond mere solidarity.

  The statement also calls for reason and peace in the region, as well as for the sovereignty and self-determination of peoples.
