Havana, Cuba.- Intervening on Friday at the opening of the Anti-imperialist Encounter of Solidarity, for Democracy and against Neoliberalism, the Cuban minister assured that imperialism is the first and most significant enemy of the peoples.
Rodríguez described capitalism as unfeasible, irrational, and an unsustainable model of production and consumption, and considered the government of Donald Trump as the main threat to international peace and security.
To sustain his assertion, he mentioned the withdrawal of the United States from the Climate Change Paris Agreement, the launch of a new arms race, and its flagrant violations of human rights and state sovereignty.
He also pointed to his xenophobic discourse of hatred and intolerance and attempts to impose a totalitarian model that destroys cultures and destroys national identities.
Rodriguez expressed his gratitude for the invariable and profound solidarity of the world with Cuba and said he felt it was his duty to warn that difficult times are coming, in which the efforts of all in the face of the aggression of the U.S. imperialism will be decisive and possibly determining.
In this connection, he denounced the current escalation of the U.S. government against the Caribbean island, which in recent months has begun to apply new, unconventional, criminal and specific measures to prevent, resorting to all kinds of pressure, persecution, and blackmail, the supply of fuel to Cuba from various markets.
"We are talking about the fuel required, not for development, but for the vitality of the country itself," said the minister, and highlighted the firm response offered, in the face of such a contingency, by the Cuban people, always heroic, supportive, creative, conscious and willing to do everything to preserve each one of its conquests.
Cuba calls to stop the advance of neoliberal policies
The president of the Cuban Institute of Friendship with Peoples (ICAP), Fernando González, called on Friday to prevent the advance of neoliberal policies that destroy the dreams of peace and social welfare of nations.
These are applied with increasing radicalism, hence the urgency of stopping them, it is essential, Gonzalez insisted when intervening in the Anti-Imperialist Solidarity Meeting for Democracy and against Neoliberalism that takes place until Sunday at the Havana Convention Center.
Let's combine the accumulated experiences, so that leftist militants are fully aware of where the path of unity passes, whether in political parties or in the social and popular movements from which they act, he said.
The future of the left will increasingly demand the prominence of the youngest, and from Cuba we trust that this will happen, Gonzalez said.
Likewise, women constitute a decisive factor of change in our countries, he said. (RHC/PL)
