Cuba Support Group Ireland expresses our solidarity with the long-suffering Cuban people, and their democratically elected government, in the wake of the vindictive reimposition of genocidal financial sanctions by US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On his first day in office, US President Trump redesignated Cuba as a so-called \u201cState Sponsor of Terrorism\u201d, a calculated lie designed to trigger the most extreme form of global sanctions. Not a shred of evidence was offered in support of that decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is yet another escalation in the six-decade-long US war of aggression against Cuba, a war waged in pursuit of internal destabilisation and regime change. Like all previous such attempts, it is doomed to fail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The people of Cuba have robust democratic institutions and a popular elected government. They have been subjected to 64 years of illegal, inhumane, and genocidal US sanctions. These sanctions are intended to overthrow Cuban democracy, subjugate the Cuban people to foreign rule, and steal their assets. The Irish government is tacitly complicit in this objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The neighbouring country, Haiti, is a good example of what the US wants to bring to Cuba: lawlessness, poverty, destitution, and occupation. It is no surprise that the Cuban people have rejected continuous US aggression, ever since the triumph of their popular revolution. They will continue to ensure that their democratic institutions are protected from foreign interference <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the global corporate media will try to sell whatever US imperialist narrative they are programmed to spew, but few listen to their propaganda anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSGI condemns the Irish government for its complicity in dutifully re-imposing Trump’s illegal sanctions on Cuba through the Irish banking system. No sovereign state would tolerate the imposition of US banking rules on Irish banks, in contravention of Irish and EU law. We demand that Ireland disregard the arbitrary US designation of Cuba as a State Sponsor of Terror and immediately and forcefully implement established Irish and EU laws prohibiting the imposition of US sanctions against Cuba. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to a day when Ireland will have a government that is worthy of the status of a sovereign state. Until then, we will look to Cuba as a beacon in the expression of national sovereignty, the vindication of the universal rights of its people, and the defence of its constitutional order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
