Cuban Chancellor Bruno Rodriguez said that “the regional oligarchies are resorting to policies apparently banished as coups d’état with the connivance of the US government”.

In that regard, he referred to the coup against Bolivia in 2019 and the latest attempt. He also mentioned the allegations made in this regard by the Governments of Honduras and Colombia.

Rodríguez denounced: “Today we see with concern how one of the founding countries of this alliance is attacked with marked belligerence. Venezuela is once again facing the economic, political and media arsenal of imperialism and right-wing extremism aimed at dynamising its sovereign process of economic, social and cultural development”.

“Our brothers in Nicaragua are equally the target of unjust unilateral measures and fierce interference campaigns by the US government,” he added.

He also mentioned that Cuba is suffering the most brutal, prolonged and intense aggression against its economy and its people, and that the United States Government keeps it on the arbitrary and unilateral list of states which allegedly sponsor terrorism.

Rodríguez also denounced the genocide against the Palestinian people. “We demand a wide, Just and lasting settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on the basis of the establishment of two states, enabling the Palestinian people to exercise their inalienable right to self-determination and to have an independent and sovereign state within the pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital and with the guarantee of return of refugees”.

“Our country supports the General Assembly of the United Nations to take decisive and immediate action and decide once and for all the full membership of the State of Palestine in the UN».

Valdrack Jaentschke: “The worthy, free and sovereign peoples of the world are facing old and new forms of aggression”.

Jaentschke stated: “Humanity is in critical moments, moments of birth of a new history, of the emergence of a new world order more just, more collective, more solidary and as all birth the emergence of this new world order, multipolar, without hegemonies that are imposed is hard, is difficult, it’s painful”.

He stressed that the world’s worthy, free and sovereign peoples face old and new forms of aggression. “The rifles and gunboats of the past, today reborn in new forms of aggression euphemistically called sanctions, are the same military interventions and the same interferences perpetrated by the Yankee empire in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries”. He also expressed his solidarity with Venezuela and Cuba.

Celinda Sosa: “We must continue on the path of peace”

The Bolivian Foreign Minister, Celinda Sosa, stressed that people face serious challenges in the face of the multiple crises that the world is experiencing today.
