Cuba disposed to resist new hostile
U.S. measures
CUBA has declared its decision to resist, as it has
for the last 47 years, any new measure by the United
States in reaction to a possible intensification of
the policies of threats and aggression by the George
W. Bush government.
It is very likely that on May 20, or close to that
date, the United States will announce new measures
to try to crush the Revolution and the economic and
social project decided on by the Cuban people,
warned Ricardo Alarcón, president of Parliament.
Speaking before more than 1,000 delegates from 70
nations who were in Havana participating in a Cuba
solidarity conference, the leader noted that the
threat was recently launched by U.S. Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice.
The intention will be to strengthen the ill-named
transition plan for democracy in Cuba, announced on
May 20, 2003, which vainly seeks to overthrow the
Revolution and snatch away from the Cuban people the
social achievements of which we are so proud.
In another part of his speech, Alarcón noted that
while the United States continues with its war
against Iraq and Afghanistan and is seeking pretexts
for initiating others in what it calls “dark corners
of the world,” it is giving shelter to terrorists
Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch.
It is the height of hypocrisy that United States is
at the same time maintaining imprisoned five Cubans
who infiltrated the gangs of south Florida to
prevent any more terrorist actions like those
committed against Cuba by Posada Carriles and Bosch,
he commented. (PL)
