Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez responded today from this capital to Chilean President Gabriel Boric, who made statements against the island and the historic leadership of the Revolution.
On social media platform X, Rodríguez said that in a scenario where Latin America and the Caribbean are being attacked and threatened by the United States, “some leaders in the region prefer to criticize #Cuba,” statements that the press has identified with Boric’s remarks on a CNN Chile program on January 15 and 16.
The Cuban foreign minister described the Chilean president’s position as “political opportunism” which “is neither an act of consistency nor courage.” Later, in the same post, he pointedly stated that Boric “squandered his time. His mistakes and inconsistencies has handed his country over to the neo-fascist extreme right.”
The head of Cuban diplomacy added that “perhaps unwittingly” Boric is serving the imperialist desire to “divide and impose its domination over our peoples.” He is doing so while relegating his own history, that of his martyrs and his people.
During the aforementioned television program, the Chilean head of state, in his misguided statements, described Cuba as a dictatorship and the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro, also as a dictator, according to the Cuban News Agency.
Gabriel Boric will be president of Chile until March 11, 2026, when he will hand over the office to José Antonio Kast
