The Cuban chapter of the Network of Intellectuals, Artists, and Social Movements in Defense of Humanity condemned this Thursday the decision by the Ecuadorian government to expel all personnel from the Cuban embassy in Quito, reported the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cubaminrex.
The organization expressed its support for the statement issued by the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which described the measure as “arbitrary and unjustified.”
Since the official announcement, academics, writers, artists, activists, and social leaders from Ecuador and other Latin American and Caribbean countries have expressed solidarity with Cuba, the Network reported.
Friends of the Caribbean nation residing in Ecuador mobilized toward the diplomatic headquarters to express their rejection of the decision and to support the Cuban personnel.
The statement indicated that the government of Daniel Noboa has resumed practices of colonial subservience and linked the measure to the upcoming Summit of the Americas in Miami, scheduled for March 7.
The Network recalled that Cuba has been a historic ally in health, education, and cooperation, and affirmed that in our America, in the face of the Monroes and Noboas, there is Bolívar, the people, and a dignified homeland.
