Cuba rejects, in the strongest terms, the report published on July 20 by the U.S. State Department, referring to Cuba’s alleged subversive influence against that country. This is nothing more than a mediocre propaganda pamphlet. It seeks to reinforce the false narrative that Cuba poses a threat to the United States—a pretext that the U.S. government uses to justify collective punishment and genocide against the Cuban people. By fabricating accusatory narratives, it aims to build consensus for a potential military aggression. (more…)

Díaz-Canel highlighted the “millions” allocated annually to programs aimed at regime change, subversion, and terrorism. (more…)
