Statement by the Communist Party of Spain Rejecting the Indictment of Raúl Castro
El último paso de la escalada de amenazas contra Cuba por parte de Estados Unidos para justificar una agresión militar es la canalla acusación del Departamento de Justicia de los Estados Unidos, anunciada este 20 de mayo, contra el General de Ejército Raúl Castro Ruz, líder de la Revolución cubana.
The PCE firmly condemns the decision of the United States to indict General of the Army Raúl Castro.
This decision constitutes a deeply imperialist and hypocritical act, directed not only against a historic leader of the Cuban Revolution but against an entire nation that has been resisting with dignity for more than six decades the criminal blockade imposed by the United States.
Raúl Castro represents the struggle for independence, sovereignty, and social justice. His political career has been defined by the defense of peace, internationalism, and cooperation among peoples. He played a fundamental role in the proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace and in promoting dialogue processes and peace agreements in Colombia, actively contributing to the stability and coexistence among the peoples of our sister region.
The hypocrisy of a power responsible for wars, invasions, coups d'état, military occupations, destabilization operations, and policies of plundering in dozens of countries around the world, which now intends to set itself up as the moral judge of those who have dedicated their lives to defending the sovereignty of their peoples, is unbearable.
The very government that for 64 years has maintained an economic, commercial, and financial blockade against Cuba—condemned almost unanimously by the international community at the United Nations—completely lacks the political, legal, and moral legitimacy to attack General Raúl Castro and the Cuban people.
The PCE expresses its full solidarity with General Raúl Castro Ruz, the Communist Party of Cuba, the revolutionary government, and the heroic Cuban people in the face of this new aggression by American imperialism.
We reiterate our historic commitment to the defense of Cuba's sovereignty, the immediate lifting of the blockade, and the inalienable right of the Cuban people to build their future without threats, sanctions, or foreign interference.
In the face of the aggressions of imperialism, more internationalist solidarity with Cuba.
"Homeland or Death, We Shall Overcome!!!"
