Argentinian President Alberto Fernandez demanded the lifting of the embargo imposed on Cuba, which he called "inhumane," and refused any possible foreign intervention to settle internal political disagreements.

He said: "There is nothing more inhumane than economically blocking a country during a pandemic. When you block a country, you block a society, and that is the least humanitarian thing there is."
The United States has imposed a total embargo on Cuba since 1962, which Cuban authorities regard as the main cause of the island's major economic issues.

On his part, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has expressed his full support for his Cuban counterpart in facing foreign intervention in the affairs of his country, emphasizing that the people of Cuba and Venezuela are "brothers for better or worse" and that Cuba will move on.

Mexican President Manuel Lopez Obrador announced his refusal of any "interventionist approach" in Cuba's affairs, noting that Mexico would be ready to send medicine, vaccines, and food to Cuba if the government requested it.

The economic crisis, made worse by the embargo, has pushed the government to cut the electricity supply by a few hours a day. It has also pushed thousands of people to demonstrate on Sunday in tens of cities and villages.

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said on Monday that the US is behind the island's demonstrations, calling his supporters to take to the streets in counter-demonstrations.

Argentinian President Fernandez said that what happened must be resolved by the people because when people have great economic difficulties and a pandemic hits, then their burdens will increase.

He added, "I am not the one who should tell the people what to do; neither Argentina nor any country in the world," going on to say, "we do have to promote peace and that the peoples find dialogue and the way out.”

As for the United States, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken was of the opinion that the Cuban President is making a "grievous mistake" in holding the US responsible for the demonstrations.
