Lima, Mar 5 (Prensa Latina) Cubans living in Peru described the suspension of visas for those linked to Cuban cooperation programs as a new attack against their country by the Donald Trump regime.
This is what the Association of Cuban Residents in Peru, “Raíces Mambisas,” stated in a statement rejecting the measure and pointing out that it is the seventh aggression against Cuba with increasingly serious decisions.
The text demands the cessation of all arbitrary and illegal actions by the United States government that so harm the Cuban people and their right to sovereignty.
It reviews the historic international solidarity of Cuban medical brigades, which began in 1963 with their first mission in Algeria and have acted in Peru since 1970, in the face of earthquakes and epidemics.
“Our dignified and heroic ‘White Coats’ have been present in countries that need support and hope for life, where the right to health has never existed before,” adds the statement from the Cuban migrants, which also highlights the training of thousands of Latin American doctors who are returning to serve their people.
He notes that, due to their altruistic action, the Cuban medical brigades have earned recognition from the World Health Organization and the Pan American Health Organization.
It also highlights the Washington government’s prohibition on exchanges between American and Cuban scientists, creators of the vaccines against Covid-19 that protected millions of Cubans from the disease.
“We denounce before the world the arbitrary and illegal measures imposed on Cuba by the United States and demand that the permanent aggressions of the current US administration that so harm the Cuban people be stopped,” adds the Association of Cuban Residents in Peru “Raíces Mambisas.”
