SENADOR | CANADA

MP | SPAIN
IVÁN ESPINOSA DE LOS MONTEROS
“The Cuban regime goes far beyond its own borders… Cuba is the umbrella…. It would not be enough if it is not consistent, if the same measures are not taken for the countries that continue to violate rights. We must end the repression, listen to the voice of the Cuban people»
Congressman | USA
MARIO DÍAZ BALART
“We heard about the influence of the Cuban regime in Latin America, about the strong ties of the Cuban regime with Russia… This is not the time to give legitimacy to the regime in Cuba, this is not the time to relax sanctions against the regime, this is the time to do the opposite.”
SENATOR | COLOMBIA
