USAID Denounces U.S. Funding to Media Campaigns vs. Cuba
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funds media campaigns against Cuba, aimed at destabilizing the government and justifying actions to the public opinion, Ecuadorian international analyst Gabriel Fuentes said.
The United States used the media from the very beginning of the Cuban Revolution to disseminate and present to the world the failure of the island's government, and the permanent violation of the human rights of citizens, he noted.
In a television report broadcast on the CNPlus channel, the opinion by political scientist Carlos Estarella was presented. He said that the economic blockade against Cuba is fatal to any country.
The analyst described this Washington action as an intervention, while recalled that "one of the principles of the international law is the non-intervention."
Fuentes added that media campaigns have been used as instruments for public opinion to justify military interventions and political and economic pressure, with geopolitical and interventional purposes from the United States, and the USAID has been the managing body of this violation to the international law.
