During the closing of the IV Summit in Defense of Democracy, part of the Global Progressive Mobilization (GPM) meeting in Barcelona, ​​the leader of the South American giant stressed that “no president, of any country in the world, has the right to impose rules on other presidents. None.”

In a firm and categorical tone, Lula da Silva stated that “the five (permanent) members of the UN Security Council must meet to change their behavior. We cannot wake up every morning and go to sleep every night with a president’s tweet threatening the world, declaring wars.”

“No one has the right to impose rules on other countries,” he said, before expressing deep concern about the situation in Cuba.

“We must stop this blockade against Cuba and let Cubans live their lives. We cannot remain silent in the face of this,” he declared.

Shortly before, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum proposed a declaration against military intervention in Cuba during her speech at the IV Summit in Defense of Democracy.

“I want to propose a declaration against military intervention in Cuba. May dialogue and peace prevail,” she emphasized at the summit, which was also attended by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and the presidents of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva; Colombia, Gustavo Petro; and Uruguay, Yamadu Orsi, among others.
