A convincing denunciation to the brutal deformations that international economic order is suffering was made by Cuba's foreign minister, Bruno Rodriguez, when addressing the 66th period of the UN General Assembly.
He said that it meant that poorer countries are the main victims of depletion by the neoliberal economic model, whose aftermath of looting and exclusion are social and political implications present in all continents, he said.
The signs of global economic weakness, mainly in the U.S. and Europe, strongly affected the southern nations, and it is the workers who bear the heavy burden of the economic crisis that began in 2008 and is still today unresolved, despite the great consortiums insist on saying the opposite.
Rodriguez defended before the UN plenary the cause of the workers, unemployed, immigrants and poor, who are being brutally suppressed when they peacefully claim their rights.The Cuban minister criticized the hostile attitude of the U.S. and powers members of the Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which impose wars with digital technologies in order to profit and appropriate of natural and geostrategic resources, as is the recent case of the attack on Libya, a small third world country with only 6 million inhabitants.
Bruno denounced the role of mass media in these conflicts, which have been used as weapons of war, building news that manipulates reality and events in our countries.
The so-called preventive war that is taking place in Libya, under the pretext of protection of civilians, was boosted by U.S. and NATO, presumably to avoid a massacre, but they began military attacks on a sovereign state, without there being any threat to peace and security. That scheme, said the U.S. government is right, Bruno emphasized.
In this regard, Rodriguez confirmed the position of Cuba which considers the murder of thousands of innocent people with the dubious aim of protecting other civilians as unacceptable, while condemning the role of the business and media empires that profit from war and reconstruction as anti-crisis instruments.
