A statement from this political force, a member of the Broad Front coalition, refers to the decree signed by US President Donald Trump, which declared a “national emergency” by considering the neighboring island an “unusual threat” to the security and foreign policy of the northern power.

The MLN-Tupamaros believes that this “authorizes the US military apparatus to carry out a military intervention in Cuba, as it already did in Venezuela on January 3.”

The escalation of new aggressions “reinforces the inhumane blockade” and once again challenges “the historic resistance of more than 60 years of the Cuban people and the solidarity of the Latin American continent,” the statement reads.

The National Liberation Movement – ​​Tupamaros reaffirms its condemnation and rejection of this renewed economic strangulation of the Cuban Revolution and the sovereignty of its people, aimed at imposing US hegemony on all of Latin America and the Caribbean, the statement adds.

We especially reiterate our call to social, political, and governmental organizations to raise their voices and develop solidarity campaigns with the Cuban people, who have always been so supportive of the peoples of the world and who have written such a long history of brotherhood with our people, the declaration concludes.
