In a statement, the party also referred to the constant threats of a possible invasion of the island and emphasized that it is the right of the world’s peoples to sell oil to Cuba without this having commercial or political consequences from Washington, referring to Donald Trump’s executive order threatening tariffs on anyone trading hydrocarbons with the Caribbean nation.

The party asserted that the current attempt is to use the most violent forms of warfare to challenge sovereignty, undermining the self-determination of peoples.

“Only internationalist solidarity and the anti-imperialist struggle can stop this worldview, which under no circumstances can become common sense or the daily practice in our territories,” the statement affirmed.

Comunes’ position was released after its 24th Plenary Session, during which the group conducted an in-depth analysis of the international and national situation, as well as its internal political and organizational processes.

The occasion also served as an opportunity to send a message of solidarity with the peoples resisting the onslaught of the world’s reconfiguration by imperialist plunder imposed primarily by the United States and the illegitimate State of Israel, the statement emphasized.

It remembered that the year began with the US aggression against Venezuelan territory and the kidnapping of President Nicolas Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores, who are facing a “clearly illegal” legal process.
