The President of Cuba, Miguel Mario Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, during his participation in the XII Extraordinary Summit of Heads of State and Prime Ministers of the ALBA-TCP, described as unacceptable the violent and indiscriminate deportation of migrants in the United States, as well as the arrests arbitrary and other violations of human rights.

Díaz-Canel assured that the United States uses these measures as weapons of political pressure and blackmail against the Peoples of our America. “The establishment of a detention center at the base of the North American naval base in Guantánamo, where it is intended to imprison thousands of people, constitutes a barbaric act, a threat to the national security of Cuba and to the region,” he said.

“We cannot allow ourselves to be provoked by the new government of the United States, nor walk in the steps that they want to impose, we will remain calm and respond when it is necessary to respond, with the courage and courage as Fidel Castro, Hugo Chávez and Raúl Castro,” said the Cuban president.

He also argued that Cuba aspires to an orderly, safe, regular migration that is also respectful of rights and human rights.

He added that, for the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-Peoples' Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP), one of the priorities must be to strengthen an economic agenda to take advantage of the full potential of each country.

“The construction of a migratory perspective of peace, understanding and collaboration without politicization. It is a matter that requires our collective and joint effort, the deportations of emigrants must be carried out within the framework of bilateral or multilateral agreements, which safeguard the sovereignty of each country and the principle of non-intervention in internal affairs,” he emphasized.

He insisted that working together is essential, in order to contribute to the development to which we aspire, “that this alternative born of the Bolivarian one under the premise of integration” continues to advance with greater unity, with more dynamism, with more consultation and more desire to promote and rescue some of the projects. “If nothing and no one manages to divert us from our objectives, nothing and no one can stop us from realizing our dreams to which so many generations gave their energies, including their lives,” he said.
