Adding Cuba to that list enables decisions and actions to the detriment of that country, denying it access to basic goods and services essential for a dignified life.

An analysis of historical processes shows that Cuba is not the sponsor of terrorism, but rather the successive US governments, which seek to impose, at any cost, a change in their internal policy. That is why they insist without reason or evidence on including her as a sponsor, he adds.
The Assembly in Rosario advocates for respect and compliance with international law, demands the exclusion of the island from that list and that all restrictions and measures that maintain a blockade as inhuman as brutal, which for decades have caused enormous suffering and sacrifices, be lifted. to the Cuban people, he concludes.
