Florida, Oct. 31.- More than two thousand members of theNational Association of Small Farmers (ANAP), in the municipality of Florida, joined their voices to those of the rest of the world to condemn the permanence of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the Government of the United States against the Cuban people for more than 60 years.
Just as dozens of representatives of other countries of the planet did on Tuesday and Wednesday at the podium of the United Nations (UN), the peasants denounced, once again, the hatred of this genocidal policy that prevents them from obtaining the resources, machinery and credits necessary for the development of agri-foodstuffs in Cuba.
Luis Enrique Arribas Rodríguez, municipal president of ANAP and main spokesman of the agrarian organization in Florida, assured that there will be no force capable of taking away from the peasants the rights granted by the Revolution, and reiterated the will to assume every day, with greater commitment, the sacred duty of producing for the people.
More than 240 measures to tighten the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba, signed by the administration of Donald Trump as of 2021, meant a devastating blow to Cuban agriculture and livestock by stopping the entry of animal feed, medicines, fertilizers, pesticides and technologies, among other inputs and goods in high demand in the productive processes of the agricultural and livestock sector.
Right now, when this criminal policy of the United States government is once again facing worldwide rejection, the flag of resistance and peasant dignity rises again, on the summit of the Turquino, in the proud hands of Niceto Perez, Sabino Pupo and Fidel Castro Ruz.
