Every day we hear of pronouncements and denunciations from popular sectors, governments and personalities of the world against the policy that the United States has applied against Cuba for more than 60 years. Its economic, commercial and financial blockade, tightened since January 2026, limits access to fuel, affecting the generation of electricity, water pumping, the operation of hospitals, the production and distribution of food for the population, among others.

Representatives of 52 parties from 39 countries who participated in the 30th International Seminar “Parties and a New Society” held in Mexico a few days ago, demanded an end to the escalation of economic aggressions that Washington maintains against Havana.

In Russia, the Federation Council (upper house of parliament) condemned U.S. actions aimed at destabilizing the political and economic situation in Cuba. He supported the demands of the Cuban people to exclude the largest island of the Antilles from the list of countries sponsoring terrorism maintained by the U.S. State Department. He defended the need to end the blockade, and the repeal of the Helms-Burton Act that prevents the development of commercial, economic and financial relations with other countries.

Despite this global reality, and a few days before Cuba presents to the United Nations General Assembly its annual report “Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States of America against Cuba”, which for more than 3 decades has been supported by an overwhelming majority; Press reports report that Secretary of State Marco Rubio pressured the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, to join his government to promote “shared priorities” at the United Nations, including Cuba.

 

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump continues to campaign for the Republicans towards the midterm elections on November 3, facing growing popular discontent and concerns about the domestic economy, but with the support of tycoons such as Elon Musk who has donated about 300 million dollars for the elections. As on other occasions, it threatens Iran, from which it has not been able to steal its natural resources, but it has already announced that large-scale explorations of oil, gas and minerals in Greenland will soon begin and highlighted the defensive potential of the Arctic territory.

Brussels, 1 October 2026.– The European Parliament hosted the “Cuba Sí, Bloqueo No” event on 30 September and 1 October, organized by The Left Group.

Cuba sí, bloqueo no Event at the European Parliament

Over the course of the two-day event, participants discussed the political, economic and humanitarian consequences of the United States blockade against Cuba, with particular attention to its impact on healthcare, the economy and the daily lives of the Cuban people. Discussions also addressed the impact of the blockade on fuel supplies, the persecution and pressure exerted on shipping companies transporting resources to the island, and the application of secondary sanctions against entities and economic actors maintaining relations with Cuba.

In this context, participants denounced the extraterritorial nature of these measures and their repercussions beyond bilateral relations between Cuba and the United States, as well as their effects on companies, organizations and citizens of third countries. They highlighted the consequences of these policies for the Cuban people and the obstacles they create for the development of international cooperation and exchanges with the island.

The first day, entitled Breaking the Blockade: Law, Economy and Society, featured the participation of Members of the European Parliament Ilaria Salis and Marc Botenga; the Ambassador of Cuba to Belgium, Juan Antonio Fernández Palacios; Cuban physician Dr. Aleida Guevara March; Jan Fermon, Secretary-General of the International Association of Democratic Lawyers; economist Emily Morris; British parliamentarian Jeremy Corbyn; and researcher and essayist Salim Lamrani.

Representatives of solidarity initiatives and Cuban medical cooperation, along with members of the European Parliament, spoke at the event. Dr. Damaris Álvarez, a member of the Cuban Medical Brigade in Calabria, also participated and shared her experiences as part of Cuban medical cooperation in Italy.

Statement by H.E. Mr. Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba, at the High-level Meeting of the Group of Friends of the Global Development Initiative 

Your Excellency Han Zheng, Vice President of the People’s Republic of China;

Distinguished participants;

We are gathered here today to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the launch of the Global Development Initiative by President Xi Jinping during his address to the general debate of the 76th Session of the General Assembly.

Over the past five years, the Initiative has continued to represent a new paradigm of cooperation for sustainable development, in line with the legitimate interests and aspirations of the nations of the Global South, and has contributed to the progress toward the development goals of participating countries.

In the current context—marked by an unprecedented rise in unilateralism, threats to global peace and security and the use of unilateral coercive measures to subjugate developing countries—this Initiative, under China’s leadership, offers a reliable alternative for international cooperation that benefits those who need it most and is consistent with the need to design and promote a just and equitable new international order.

Our country, a founding member of this Group of Friends, is grateful for the cooperation we have received, which has been vital in mitigating the devastating effects of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States—a blockade that has been further reinforced in recent times by a cruel energy siege, equivalent to a naval blockade; and by the intimidating effects of so-called secondary sanctions against third parties.

Esteemed colleagues;

This platform is particularly relevant to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. With only four years remaining until the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, we must make the most of the scientific and technical potential of the members of this Initiative through a South-South cooperation approach, so as not to lose sight of the goals set forth in this global development agenda.

True to our principles of solidarity, Cuba is always ready to contribute, in its own modest way, to the efforts proposed by the Global Development Initiative.

Thank you very much.
