Havana_ Cuban president, Miguel Díaz-Canel, specified that the government and people of the Caribbean island bet today for a respectful dialogue with the United States without conditions on national sovereignty, Prensa Latina publishes.
'We don't accept impositions, much less from the U.S. It is not possible to dialogue when one of the parts pretends you submit to its orders', emphasized the head of State in an exclusive interview with multinational network Telesur.
In his first interview to an international communication media, Diaz-Canel, spoke of the relevant issues of Cuban reality that include the constitutional reform, the blockade imposed by the U.S. government and the situation of interference faced by several Latin American countries.
The Cuban head of State said that the first four months of his mandate has been a period of great experience and reflection, one in which he has focused on establishing links, debates and permanent dialogue with the population, besides being there where the most complex issues of Cuban reality are dealt with.
Also, he stressed as another element that presently directs government work in Cuba, that 'leaders are capable of using social communication as main tool and working instrument'.
Also, Diaz-Canel stressed that the 'main obstacle for the country's development, what hurts the most to everyday life of Cubans and also their economic and social life, is the blockade imposed by the United States, which is a brutal practice, a case of lese-humanity'.
He explained that for over half a century U.S. authorities interfere in the regular flow of capital to the island, while putting the brakes on foreign investment.
In that sense, he stressed that Cuba is not a threat to any country. 'What we have is the will and a vocation for social justice, for building a better nation'.
Diaz-Canel highlighted that despite the blockade, his government is centered in updating the economic and social model, present in the constitutional reform, whose debate by the people goes on throughout the country since last August 13.
Before the criticism of reactionary sectors on the socialist Cuban process, the head of State said the government will never renounce its ideology or the values of the Revolution.
Diaz-Canel discarded the call of counter-revolutionaries to not participate in voting the constitutional reform scheduled for February, 2019, as he asserted '...I am confident in the people's participation'.
In other issues, the Cuban president referred to the situation of economic, political and social harassment that several countries of Latin America are suffering and made a special emphasis on the Venezuelan reality.
In that sense, he greeted the Venezuelan people and denounced the economic and financial blockade on the South American country. 'Venezuela and its people will be victorious, resist and overcome', he emphasized.
Referring to the withdrawal of Ecuador and Colombia from the organisms of integration and solidarity, such as the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of our America (Alba-TCP) and the Union of South American Nations (Unasur), the President alerted that 'dismembering would open the possibility for social and political constructions of the region to be destroyed'.
