AKEL Expresses Solidarity with Cuba and its Heroic People

AKEL expressed its solidarity with Cuba and its people, condemning the Trump administration's policy of causing energy strangulation on the island. The party described this policy as 'criminal and inhumane,' especially for vulnerable groups such as the sick and children. AKEL emphasized that this policy is an escalation of the 65-year-long trade, economic, and financial blockade imposed by the US against Cuba. AKEL also denounced the US attempt to isolate Cuba from the international community by coercing other states to terminate their relations with the island. The party stressed that the intensification of US aggression against Cuba is part of a widespread incendiary policy around the globe, aimed at defending their global hegemony. AKEL accused the US of destroying international legality, undermining the UN, launching military raids and trade wars, and plotting against the territorial integrity of sovereign states. The party argued that the response to these policies is not submission, but the defense of peace, international law, and the UN Charter. AKEL stated that together with the People's Movement of Cyprus, it stands with Cuba and its people, supporting their struggle for national independence and social justice.
