The ongoing blockade on Cuba for more than 50 years is unjust and inequitable, writer Raul Perez, director of the Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana publishing house, said in this capital.
"All peoples reject this arbitrariness and do not stop proclaiming an end to this infamous blockade," Perez told Prensa Latina after the demand presented by the Ecuadorian government at the U.N. General Assembly.
For the intellectual, the U.S. presidents are enemies of humanity, its highest ideal is the power and war, and violence is a business and a way of life.
Noting these arguments, Perez said that Cuba has set an example of human dignity and solidarity so that the Washington-imposed siege is an arrogant and outrageous attitude, which betrays the sensitivity of the American people.
He stated that we should still be campaigning to increase awareness of what the Cuban revolutionary process has been, and how much blood, pain and tears this situation has cost.
We need more awareness regarding what Cuba has experienced throughout the years, not only because of the U.S. blockade, but also because their puppets continue their tax rules, he said.
For the new director of the prestigious Ecuadorian cultural institution, his government and President Rafael Correa are consistent with the feelings of the citizens to reject this injustice, because they are aware of the pain this situation has caused to the Cuban people.
Deputy Foreign Minister Marco Albuja presented yesterday in New York Ecuador's stance within the United Nations about the need that the imposition of those measures towards the island are deposed.
According to Cuban authorities, the economic damage the embargo has caused to the Cuban people up to December 2011, if we take into consideration the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the value of gold in the international market, would exceed 1.066 trillion USD.
