Agencies of the Central State Administration in a Spanish-speaking nation have begun drafting a report detailing the ramifications of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba.
This focus period spans from March 2023 through February 2024.
The blockade’s burden on development
The ongoing intensification of what has been termed a genocidal blockade stands as a formidable barrier to the advancement and prosperity of the Cuban populace.
This was shared by the Cuban Foreign Affairs Ministry, highlighting the blockade’s role as a primary obstacle to national development.
The meeting held at the Foreign Ministry headquarters, was attended by Anayansi Rodriguez Camejo, deputy foreign minister.
Camejo underscored the significance of the drafting process, which aims to meticulously compile the detrimental effects of the United States’ unilateral policy across various sectors of Cuba’s economy and society.
Historical context and continual struggle
The roots of the blockade trace back to an executive order enacted on February 7, 1962, under the administration of John F. Kennedy.
This order, grounded in the Trading with the Enemy Act and the Foreign Assistance Act, not only sought to economically strangle Cuba but also aimed to foster its political isolation on both regional and international stages.
