The Central Committee condemns in the strongest possible terms the recent attacks by the Trump regime on Cuba, calling a so-called “national emergency” to designate Cuba as an unusual threat to US national security and call for a total blockade. Such a measure was used against Venezuela in 2015, which also suffered a blockade and sanctions well before the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and Parliamentarian Cilia Flores.
The CPA calls on the Australian government to condemn the imperial actions of the Trump regime against Cuba. We condemn the penalisation of countries that trade with Cuba, particularly those that supply oil. We condemn the US for spreading chaos, and destroying peace and sovereignty by terrorising the peoples of Latin America.
Latin America should be a zone of peace, not a continent of death and destruction as the US would wish it to be.
The CPA calls on all its members and supporters to rally in solidarity with Cuba now. We must step up the fight. Cuba is a peace-loving nation, a country which holds the dignity, honour and peace of the people in the highest regard. The Cuban people have struggled through ongoing US imposed difficulties and prevailed. The Revolution continues and will prevail through this period, no matter what the Trump regime tries to do.
Trump’s fascist total blockade goes not only against international law, but also all human decency. Cuba will resist these terroristic acts by the United States of America.
The courageous people of Cuba fought a revolutionary war to achieve sovereignty and peace. Any attempt to break the back of Cuba will be faced by the unified force of the revolutionaries in defence of the Homeland.
We stand with the people of Cuba and its government led by President Miguel Díaz-Canel, and the Communist Party of Cuba as they lead the resistance.
Let Cuba live!
Homeland or death!
Communist Party of Australia
