Paraguayan political and union leader Eduardo Arce criticized the so-called Cuban Twitter project today and called for it to be denounced at all forums worldwide.

Speaking with Prensa Latina, Arce, with a long history in the Paraguayan journalist's struggle and former Workers' Party presidential candidate, said he wanted to send his solidarity to the Cuban people and expressed his total repudiation of those who are trying to steal their freedom.

He described as reprehensible the attitude assumed by the U.S. government in its attempts to introduce in Cuba a system of illegal communications using counter-revolutionary propaganda in the false hope of causing some kind of rebellion to overthrow the popular government on the island.

With the Zunzuneo network, the only goal was to send Cubans distorted and manipulated information, with its creators dreaming about the fall of the government, but forgetting that Cubans are better educated and have better access to information than the rest of Latin America, he stressed.

Arce recalled the U.S. obsession against Cuba that has gained force since 1959 as a result of the triumph of the Revolution, and aggravated by the U.S. defeat at the Bay of Pigs in 1961, when it hoped to do away with the Cuban Revolution for good.

Coup d'etats and destabilization are its preferred methods anywhere in the world where there is a government not totally subservient to its interests, he said, as can be clearly seen in Venezuela.

Finally, Arce noted his total rejection of Washington's interference towards Cuba, and stated that, despite the high economic cost of those plans for the United States, they are doomed to total failure.
