The objective, the group noted, is to make it appear that Washington had agreed to remove the island from the ominous list of countries that sponsor terrorism and put an end to the hostile economic measures that this classification entails.
“We will not rest in our efforts to continue denouncing from any corner of the world the arbitrariness of this measure and reiterate to the United States that we are aware of their direct participation in the multiple terrorist acts that our country has received,” the association says in a statement. .
He adds that the North American governments have financed multiple terrorist acts that for decades caused Cuban families grief and misery due to the loss of their loved ones.
Remember the mercenary invasion of Playa Girón in 1961, the blowing up of a Cubana de Aviación plane in mid-flight in 1976, the explosion of bombs in the Capri and Nacional hotels in 1997, as well as the attempts to assassinate the commander in chief Fidel Castro and leaders and diplomats, inside and outside Cuba.
The statement by the Cuban emigrants points to the recent announcement of a corruption trial against US Senator Bob Menéndez for his ties to Cuban-American terrorist groups.
“The international community and all the governments that have come to power in the United States have known since 1959 of Cuba’s position of intolerance towards any form of terrorism,” he adds.
The association also demanded that Washington remove the island from the list of countries sponsoring terrorism, eliminate the brutal and illegal blockade that is increasingly suffocating the Cuban economy and families, cease its interference in Cuba and respect its sovereignty.
