Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister: Deliberate U.S. Policy of "Destroying Cuban Economy" Drives Migration

Support our work: www.democracynow.org/donate?c...
We speak with Carlos Fernández de Cossío, Cuba's deputy minister of foreign affairs, about high-level U.S.-Cuban migration talks held last week in Washington. He says U.S. policies that expedite permanent residency for Cubans in the United States play a major role in the movement of people between the two countries, but adds that the main driver of migration is the decadeslong U.S. embargo. "The economic conditions of the people of Cuba push them to migrate, and an important fact in provoking those conditions are U.S. deliberate policies of destroying the Cuban economy and make it unworkable." Fernández de Cossío also discusses the 2024 election and policy overlap between the Trump and Biden administrations, Cuba's position on the U.S.-backed Israeli war on Gaza, recent protests inside Cuba over living conditions and more.

After Katrina, Cuba was one of the first countries to offer help to the US. *1,500 doctors and 26 tons of medical supplies* were rejected by Bush. Most Americans want to end the embargo, but unfortunately, we don't have any say in what the US govt does anymore. End the embargo. Solidarité 🇨🇺✊

Really you mean the 1500 slave labor doctors. Give ne a break. Cuba wants freedom, then give it to its citizens.

[@bertbaker7067]

@@TheSjsicilia calling them slaves is pretty disingenuous. Service obligations for school scholarships are fairly normal. The US military requires at least 7 years of full-time active duty service after graduating from med school, and regret isn't uncommon (see the Military_medicine subreddit). Are they slaves? As for "giving Cuba democracy," while certainly not perfect, Cuba has democratic elections. Is it perfect? No. Could it be better? Yes, but the US shouldn't be trying to give anybody democracy. While past performance doesn't guarantee future results, in the last 100 years, the US has only successfully spread democracy maybe twice. We barely get democracy to work at home, let alone getting it to work somewhere else by force. Cuba has a lot of problems, but if their economic and political system is as inherently flawed as we're told, why is it still going after 60 years of US govt plotting sanctions?

15:16 Born in Birán, the son of a wealthy Spanish farmer, Castro adopted leftist and anti-imperialist ideas while studying law at the University of Havana. After participating in rebellions against right-wing governments in the Dominican Republic and Colombia, he planned the overthrow of Cuban president Fulgencio Batista, launching a failed attack on the Moncada Barracks in 1953. After a year's imprisonment, Castro travelled to Mexico where he formed a revolutionary group, the 26th of July Movement, with his brother Raúl Castro and Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Returning to Cuba, Castro took a key role in the Cuban Revolution by leading the Movement in a guerrilla war against Batista's forces from the Sierra Maestra. After Batista's overthrow in 1959, Castro assumed military and political power as Cuba's prime minister. The United States came to oppose Castro's government and unsuccessfully attempted to remove him by assassination, economic embargo, and counter-revolution, including the Bay of Pigs Invasion of 1961. Countering these threats, Castro aligned with the Soviet Union and allowed the Soviets to place nuclear weapons in Cuba, resulting in the Cuban Missile Crisis-a defining incident of the Cold War-in 1962. Adopting a Marxist-Leninist model of development, Castro converted Cuba into a one-party, socialist state under Communist Party rule, the first in the Western Hemisphere. Policies introducing central economic planning and expanding healthcare and education were accompanied by state control of the press and the suppression of internal dissent. Abroad, Castro supported anti-imperialist revolutionary groups, backing the establishment of Marxist governments in Chile, Nicaragua, and Grenada, as well as sending troops to aid allies in the Yom Kippur, Ogaden, and Angolan Civil War. These actions, coupled with Castro's leadership of the Non-Aligned Movement from 1979 to 1983 and Cuban medical internationalism, increased Cuba's profile on the world stage. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Castro led Cuba through the economic downturn of the "Special Period", embracing environmentalist and anti-globalization ideas. In the 2000s, Castro forged alliances in the Latin American "pink tide"-namely with Hugo Chávez's Venezuela-and formed the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas. In 2006, Castro transferred his responsibilities to Vice President Raúl Castro, who was elected to the presidency by the National Assembly in 2008. The longest-serving non-royal head of state in the 20th and 21st centuries, Castro polarized world opinion. His supporters view him as a champion of socialism and anti-imperialism whose revolutionary government advanced economic and social justice while securing Cuba's independence from American hegemony. His critics view him as a dictator whose administration oversaw human rights abuses, the exodus of many Cubans, and the impoverishment of the country's economy. I think those nukes are leaking and fucking up the ocean and killing coral, the phosphorescence of the plankton and why the whales are pissed off enough to attack boats.

Cuba was a client state of the USSR and was completely economically dependent until the dissolution of the Soviet Union. There is no real economy in Cuba at present. They combine tourism and money from Cubans living outside the country in direct monetary aid to family members still living in Cuba. Foreign goods still get in to Cuba: I have seen with my own eyes Coke, Johnny Walker, Gerber, and other US products in dollars-only stores on the island. The embargo just requires cash-up-front and no purchases on credit. US President Bill Clinton negotiated this in exchange for the repatriation to Cuba of Elian Gonzalez. The embargo started when Cuba tried to unite Latin America in refusing to repay each country’s debts to the US.

Which is it are they trying to help Cuba or not? Mr. Deputy Foreign Minister you are contradicting yourself. You say that the US and Israel are against lifting the sanctions, then you say Biden and Trump is good for Cuba, Which is it?

[@ismin341]

the USA makes so many small countrys to suffer..its good that china and russia india can stand up to the usa

[@slappy8941]

I think America needs to leave Cuba alone, because Communists can destroy their own country without our help.

[@emiliobello2538]

I wonder if Cuba will ever have true freedom

Amy- et al! you let this man lie about the "blackouts "and what the.underlying issues are in Cuba. Although I am glad he is in solidarity with Palistine, it is a contradiction. The authoritarian regime in cuba is SLOWLY killing its citizens by the thousands. I am a multidisciplinary artist, Columbia alum, teaching visual arts. now a days. I have sent you countless emails, Amy. What. happened in cuba was an idealized Utopian, which never really took off because. of human nature: greed, power, money. Just because Angela Davis, whom. I adore, moved there, it doesn't make it a good place. A good system of. government. so, yes, the constraints. of the embargo. fact. but it is also a fact. that cuba stopped producing internally years ago. It used to, even though there were/are constraints on trade. The question is why isn't the coutry producing for itself? Why are there so many political prisoners, without a trial? Why didn't you asking about July 11th, 2021 protests, and how many people where arrested and are in prison without a trial? THE DIRE situation in cuba is that the regime is an authoritarian, militarized,, fascist state, controlled by one or 2 families. It is not a functioning democracy. (read that again, Democracy Now). You always lean more toward cuba being a functional state. You never have guests on here. that present. lived experiences, objective reporting, with factual evidence, or (thousands) of cubans living under a. phenomenon, a kind of loop, where the lack of EVERYTHING compels you to leave, specially now, with internet, and then if you do survive the journey, for some reason, specially if you make a raft and take to the seas thinking it is. a straight line, then you. can survive here. in the US. Otherwise, you die, like. thousands of cubans, who risked their lives to get to have a better life. A good life. AMY- you never speak about the human. rights violations in cuba. He also lied about the Che. Che - no matter what- was a criminal. I think it is pathetic how some people worship him in the USA. It's the same illusion of the "American dream." Fidel was and will always be a profound human failure. Talking. about displacing people. I would debate that with any. one. You never really present independent artists from Cuba or in exile, Some of the artists, journalists, film makers, who are under constant attack by the Cuban regime, some of. whom are in jail for asking free expression, democracy, and a free society, where the.ideals of the. so called revolution, are actualized and the system becomes a functioning democracy. not a fixed one. I respect you Amy, but when it comes to my country and other cuban intellectuals, artists, and musicians from cuba, you are. not very informed. or don't want to be. not sure. you are an intellectual, academic, journalist, as such, I admire you. I get. your "support. Democracy Now" emails $ asking, but why should I. give money if you have ignored. my emails. See, two things can exist. I can love your show and not give you money. I. love. the show, but please present. accurate. info, or challenge your guests when they lie or mislead you. OR have some of us in the Cuban diaspora come. and. talk about why we are the Diaspora,(to echo Naomi Klein's idea/ argument in her latest activist speech in. defense of Palestine)

[@janicemeredith229]

Sanctions and embargoes on countries immigrants coming to USA and then they bawl about it. Stop supremacy and leave other countries alone. Impose fair trades and stop exploitation for outsourcing. Fair wages for all! Freedom for all! Peace for all! ❤

[@ronstephen-wy4ib]

If you don't want immigration stop sanctioning, embargoing, invading, bombing, overthrowing and interfering in the elections of their countries.

[@neckozeusa]

Cuba must join BRICS to free itself from injustice of the USA sanctions.

[@lizbethartemis4886]

😂😂 yes, stop the subsidy of Cubans in the USA to Cubans. Cuba keeps the $USD, charges an exchange fee and gives the remain in Cuban currency. The government makes $ on every dollar the Cuban relatives receive.

[@TheKennyboyd]

This is stupid. Cuba need to thank Castro. He did this to cuba. So Thank Castro. Stop blaming America for your misfortune and lawlesness. That's cubas fault. I do agree they should drop all the embargo bs. But Castro made trouble for Cuba when they started dealing with the Russians. Remember the Cuban missile crises. There are lagit reasons for the embargos. On che ill say one man freedom fighter is another Mans criminal. Do some research on the man and tell yourself what he was.

[@lizbethartemis4886]

😂😂 use google maps and see the mansions on Havana Bsybfir government folks. Check the luxury cars driven by the Castro family. 😂😂😂

[@denkmal8085]

Do you want to command people to be sincere and forget yourselves while you read the Book (Torah)? Don't you have any sense? And you will certainly find them the most greedy people for life, even more than those who associate (with Allah). (Some) one of them would like to live for a thousand years, but even if he lived, it would not save him from punishment. Allah sees what they do.
