Resolution

 

Stand in Solidarity with Socialist Cuba

 

The 24th Congress of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) expresses its
deep solidarity with Cuba in these most difficult times. Socialist Cuba
represents the hope and the example that it is possible to confront the
might of imperialism and fight for the construction of a better world.

 

The US always considered the whole of Latin America as its backyard, and
cannot tolerate even the slightest assertion of sovereignty by any country.
Ever since the Cuban Revolution declared itself to be socialist, the US has
been trying hard to break the spirit of the Cuban people and ensure the
country's collapse.

 

Since 1962, Cuba has been subjected to a genocidal economic blockade by the
US. The intention is to economically suffocate the Island. The blockade has
resulted in Rs 1,29,69,717.04 crore losses for the Cuban people and hindered
their productive processes.

 

In spite of such huge losses to their economy, Cuba ensures that every Cuban
gets free education, free healthcare and excels in sports, arts and such
other cultural fields of their choice. Cuba sends its medical doctors and
nurses to any country in the world, which faces natural calamities or
pandemics. This is Cuba's commitment towards internationalism and concern
for humankind, extending its hand of friendship even when it itself is
suffering.

 

Due to the illegal economic blockade, Cuba has been going through a critical
situation. The US is ignoring the nearly 31 resolutions passed by the UN
General Assembly condemning the US imposed economic blockade. On the other
hand, the US is carrying out its attacks on Cuba. It spends millions of
dollars every year to fund terrorist and anti-Cuba forces.

 

Due to the blockade, Cuba experienced prolonged interruptions in the supply
of electricity. Cuban people are facing a shortage of raw materials for the
production of medicines. The screws of the economic blockade are being
tightened to strangulate Cuba, by denying it access to food, fuel and raw
materials.

 

In addition, Cuba is arbitrarily included in the spurious list of State
Sponsors of Terrorism, one of the many unilateral coercive measures applied
as part of the economic war against countries that refuse to bow down to the
dictates of the US.

 

Cubans are bravely resisting all such attempts to subjugate them. They are
heroically defending their country. Now it is the time for the world to
stand in solidarity with Cuba and help it overcome the imperialist-created
crisis. Being with Cuba is joining the struggle against imperialism and in
defence of socialism.

 

The 24th Congress of the CPI(M) resolves to stand in solidarity with Cuba
and join the call of the National Committee for Solidarity with Cuba for
mobilising the maximum financial assistance, before August 13, 2025, the
birth centenary of Comrade Fidel Castro. All the members of our Party and
class and mass organisations must be approached and asked to contribute any
amount from Rs 10 to a day's wage, if not more. We have to approach people
and seek financial assistance so that we could buy medicines and generators
for Cuba. This is part of our anti-imperialist task.
