Members of the Mart\u00ed Association of Cuban Residents in Panama (AMCRP) presented to the PARLATINO leadership the impacts of the United States blockade against the island, imposed more than six decades ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the fraternal meeting, held at the headquarters of the Latin American and Caribbean Parliament (PARLATINO), based in Panama City since 2008 and led by its president, Representative Rolando Gonz\u00e1lez, the representatives of the diaspora condemned the most recent executive orders from the White House that intensify the energy blockade, the media campaign, trade barriers, and pressure on third parties, with the aim of suffocating the families of the Caribbean nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On behalf of the group, Humberto P\u00e9rez, president of the Amcrp, described the difficult situation faced by his fellow citizens and the complex conditions in health, education, electricity supply, and public transportation, among other sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also explained to the parliamentarians the obstacles imposed by the blockade on other countries, including companies and shipping lines, which hinder the delivery of medical supplies, backup power systems, medicines, and other types of humanitarian aid to alleviate the needs of a noble people determined to confront Washington\u2019s hostile policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u00e9rez recalled that on June 25, civil society organizations, including the Amcrp, denounced US President Donald Trump for crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The document containing the complaint, submitted by the groups to the offices of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, he added, also implicates Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The document states that these authorities are responsible for acts of genocide\u2014such as the blockade of Cuba\u2014and for serious violations of international law against populations in Latin America and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In turn, the head of the Latin American Parliament (PARLATINO) expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to raise awareness within that body about the difficult situation facing Cuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this regard, and on the occasion of the bicentennial commemoration of the Amphictyonic Congress of 1826, convened by Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar two years earlier, Gonz\u00e1lez warned of the current thirst for expansionism and quoted the Liberator\u2019s words from 1829, when he asserted, \u201cThe United States seems destined by Providence to plague America with misery in the name of liberty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
