Carlos Fernández de Cossío, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba, denounced today that in the face of aggressive U.S. pressures, international media and spokespeople refer to the “fragility of the Cuban system,” when the correct expression would be the fragility of the international order.

From his profile on the social media platform Facebook, the official stated that “the fragility of the international order allows a superpower to impose its unilateral will and incorporate both the action and the passivity of the rest of the states into the economic siege against Cuba.”

Fernández de Cossío underscored that the unilateral coercive measures applied by Washington constitute an example of how basic principles of sovereignty and equality among nations are violated.

He also pointed out that the narrative disseminated by international media seeks to shift the responsibility for the consequences of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade onto Cuba, rather than recognizing the impact of U.S. policy on the global legal order.

The deputy minister reiterated that the Cuban people’s resistance to economic aggression continues, and that the real threat lies in the erosion of the multilateral system of international relations.
