A prominent political faction in Peru, led by former Supreme Court President Duberli Rodríguez, has issued a formal declaration vehemently condemning recent statements from the United States administration targeting Cuba. The document characterizes the U.S. President’s approach as a form of ‘hegemonic tyranny’ that has unjustly placed Cuba in its crosshairs.
The statement further accuses the U.S. of perpetrating an ‘assault and kidnapping in Venezuela,’ actions it deems to be in direct violation of established international norms. It posits that the current U.S. strategy, marked by what it calls ‘extortionate threats,’ is a deliberate attempt to subdue the Cuban Revolution by force—a revolution the document celebrates as heroic for its resilience over more than six decades against numerous attempts to destabilize it.
Crucially, the Peruvian party’s communique serves as a stark warning, asserting that threats directed at Cuba resonate profoundly across Latin America. This identification, it notes, transcends mere solidarity and represents a deep-seated connection felt by the people of the region. The statement concludes with an urgent appeal for the restoration of reason and peaceful dialogue, while staunchly advocating for the fundamental principles of national sovereignty and the unequivocal right to self-determination for all nations.
