Revision as of 05:08, 15 July 2021
The 2021 Cuban protests is an ongoing colour revolution attempt by the United States.[1] The US's foreign intelligence service, the CIA, is suspected to be behind these protests.[2]
The destabilization attempt by the imperialist USA to unseat the communist-led government of Cuba has been rejected by socialist states Bolivia and Nicaragua, as well as the anti-imperialist Russian Federation.[3]
Counter-mobilizations in support of the Cuban government have far surpassed that of the original reactionary anti-communist protests, although this fact is not reported in the Western capitalist media.[4]
Reactions
One way of assessing the class character of protests is to see who supports and opposes them. US support for protests, and progressive / socialist / anti-imperialist states' support for the Cuban government is particularly illustrative. Perhaps we shall create a map to better illustrate the contours of opinion.
Against the protests, support for Government
- Socialist Bolivian President Luis Arce expressed his support for the Cuban people who "fight against destabilizing actions".[5] Former President Evo Morales accused the United States of launching a new Operation Condor.[6]
- Communist Party of China member and Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zhao Lijian called for the lifting of the US embargo on Cuba which he said was responsible for shortage of medicine and energy in the country.[7]
- Social-Democratic Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador urged foreign governments not to intervene in the internal affairs of Cuba and stated that it is the Cubans who solve their problems. In addition to this, he also said that if they want to help, they should help end the blockade.[8]
- Socialist Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega sent his expressions of support to Miguel Díaz-Canel, condemning the "permanent blockade, destabilization and aggression" against Cuba.[9][10]
- Anti-imperialist Russian spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Maria Zakharova, stated that they "consider it unacceptable for there to be outside interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state or any destructive actions that would encourage the destabilization of the situation on the island."[11]
- Social-liberal Former Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva condemned the US embargo on Cuba and expressed solidarity with the Cuban government.[12]
Neutral, against imperialist destabilization
- Argentinian President Alberto Fernández said that he did not know what was happening in Cuba and blamed the humanitarian crisis on the United States embargo against Cuba.[13]
Support for opposition protests
- Imperialist US President Joe Biden said that he supports the Cuban people and their "clarion call for freedom and relief".[14][15] Julie J. Chung, Acting Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs for the United States Department of State, stated "We are deeply concerned by 'calls to combat' in Cuba. We stand by the Cuban people’s right for peaceful assembly. We call for calm and condemn any violence."[16]
- Anti-communist Organization of American States Secretary General Luis Almagro condemned the "Cuban dictatorial regime for calling on civilians to repress and confronting those who exercise their rights to protest".[17]
- Anti-communist Miami protestors urging United States to provide aid for the protests in Cuba have taken place.[18]
- Fascist Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro commented that it was a sad day for Cuba because people requested freedom and received shots, attacks and prison instead. He said that there are people in Brazil who support Cuba, Venezuela and "those kinds of people".[19]
- Fascist Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement condemning the repression in order "to silence protesters who peacefully claim greater freedom, better health system and better quality of life". It also highlighted that "freedom of expression and peaceful assembly must be guaranteed."[20]
- Uruguayan President Luis Lacalle Pou expressed his support for the opposition protesters, saying they had "commendable courage."[21]
- Imperialist EU foreign relations chief Josep Borrell said that "the Cuban people have a right to express their opinion" and that he would "personally call on the government there to allow peaceful demonstrations and to listen to the voice of discontent from demonstrators".[22]
