To the
Honorable John Baird, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada,
Dear Sir:
On November
13th, 2012, and for the 21st time, Cuba will denounce at the United
Nations the 50 year old economic and financial blockade imposed on the island
on 1962 by the United States of America. The world will be watching again as
their representatives declare their repulsion to this policy.
Twenty-one
times the world has overwhelmingly voted against this obsolete and failed
attempt of the U.S. to resolve its diferendo with Cuba by punishing its people,
which has suffered severely and has been deprived of its right to a better
quality of life for 50 years now.
The
euphemistically called “embargo” has negatively affected the most vulnerable
sectors of Cuban society. The unparalleled cruelty of denying patients and
their relatives the ideal medicine for a particular treatment, or the
detrimental effect that the blockade as punishment has had on the essential
food segment, speak by themselves; and this is just to mention two examples of
the adversity the people of Cuba endures day by day due to this aggression.
Politically
this policy, as a remnant of the Cold War, shows the inability and unwillingness
of the United States government to find diplomatic avenues to settle its
differences with Cuba. We are proud that Canada has exemplarily joined the
world in condemning this absurd policy in the past and sincerely hope that
again this time, this our second homeland, will honor once more its tradition
of justice and respect for international laws.
Sincerely,
Julio
Fonseca
President,
Association
of Cubans in Toronto “Juan Gualberto Gómez”
