Dear
Ambassador Héctor Igarza Cabrera,
On behalf of the Canadian Network on Cuba (CNC), We would
like to extend our most profound sympathies and condolences to you, the victims
of the fire at the supertanker facility in Matanzas, and the entire Cuban
nation in this extremely difficult time. We are shocked and devastated by the
terrible human loss and injury incurred, and the excruciating hardship that
ensues.
The CNC expresses its highest possible
praise for the swift action of Cuban
authorities. We commend the brave and daunting work of the
firefighters, Red Cross, and medical personnel in their heroic efforts
to prevent further damage to the infrastructure and surrounding area and avert
additional loss of life and injury. Those that are missing or lost
their lives are true heroes, and our thoughts and
sympathies are with their families.
In addition to the immediate and direct losses resulting
from this terrible accident, we are aware of the subsequent effect this
unspeakable tragedy will have on the Cuban people in their everyday
lives and on the entire Cuban economy. We recognize that this will
intensify Cuba’s struggle, in face of the
severe U.S. economic sanctions and the ongoing pandemic.
We are confident that Cuba will triumph against this adversity as it
wholeheartedly and consistently upholds basic human rights.
The Canadian Network on Cuba is here to support Cuba in
any way that we can. Cuba is not alone.
Yours Sincerely,
Samantha Hislop
Julio Fonseca
Co-chairs, Canadian Network on Cuba
