Titled “Even with the Fuel Blockade, the Revolution Will Not Be Defeated: The Moral Strength of the Cuban People Against Imperialist Barbarism,” the text emphasizes that the Caribbean nation “is under attack again,” with the continuation of “an aggression that has lasted more than sixty years.”

In this analysis, written by economist Luciano Vasapollo, a leader of the Network of Communists of Italy, it is noted that the executive order signed on January 29 by US President Donald Trump “is an act of undeclared war, disguised as an administrative measure.”

Vasapollo, co-founder of the Italian chapter of the Network of Intellectuals in Defense of Humanity (REDH), states that this measure “constitutes an extreme expansion of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade, already defined by numerous international resolutions as contrary to international law and fundamental human rights.”

“Once again, Cuba responds not with surrender, but with the moral strength of a conscious, organized, and politically mature people,” he says, adding that this new attack “is the desperate act of a declining power that attempts to maintain its dominance at the cost of others’ suffering.”

This editorial in Il Faro di Roma concludes with a renewed call to all political and social forces to support Cuba in the face of this new imperialist aggression, which also means defending “the very possibility of a world founded on cooperation, the sovereignty of peoples, and human dignity.”
