Finally, she denounced the flagrant violations of International Law resulting from the hostile and aggressive escalation of the US government against Cuba, further exacerbating the cruel, unjust, and criminal blockade imposed on our people for more than 60 years. He explains that the new executive order from the US President, announced on January 29, 2026, aims to impose economic strangulation measures on third countries through blackmail, threats, and direct coercion, preventing fuel from entering our country. Surrender will never be an option, and difficult times like these must be faced with courage and bravery. In the centennial year of the birth of Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz, and in light of our heroic history of struggle for the independence and sovereignty of our homeland, the decision is clear: Homeland or Death! We will prevail!
