U.S. Hostile Policy against Cuba Remains Intact, Says Official
Havana, May 10 (BERNAMA-NNN-PRENSA LATINA) Nearly four years after U.S. President Barak Obama took office, expectations of a change of attitude from that government towards Cuba are far from met, a top diplomat said here on Thursday.
While Obama has taken some positive measures in favor of relations between the two countries, the fundamental aspects that characterize the policy on Cuba have not been modified, affirmed the director of the North America Department at the Cuban Foreign Ministry, Josefina Vidal.
In an interview with CNN in Spanish, released here, the official stressed that economic sanctions and the blockade, which has caused Cuba losses estimated at 975 billion dollars, are still intact.
Vidal also expressed that radio and television broadcasts designed against Cuba continue, as well as the country's inclusion in the black lists of the Department of State, in an effort to delegitimize the Caribbean nation.
