Cuba accused Wednesday the United States of attempting to destabilize the Caribbean nation by means of an opposition march set to be organized next week.
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez asserted Wednesday that Havana "would not allow the persistent aggression by the United States government, its intense and constant attempts to create conditions for internal destabilization, to alter the citizens' calm and security."
The November 15 March will coincide with Cuba reopening its tourism sector and primary schools following long months of lockdown due to the pandemic, which was especially exacerbated in Cuba by US sanctions on the island nation, which reflects a western attempt at undermining the benefits Cuba is to reap from tourism through creating instability - a factor that is known for driving tourists away.
"There have been 29 statements from the United States government and influential figures in that nation's congress since September 22 alone ... all aimed at encouraging, guiding, instigating destabilization actions in our country," said Rodriguez.
US embassy officials have been holding meetings with prominent dissident figures in Cuba
This is not the first time that Havana has objected to the US policy against it, for Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel had previously accused the US embassy in his country of "playing a growing role in political subversion efforts."
According to Cuban authorities, US embassy officials have been holding meetings with prominent dissident figures in Cuba in the US embassy in Havana.
Cuba's Communist Party had revealed new evidence in late October on ties between organizers of an unconstitutional demonstration by Cuban opposition groups and terrorist groups operating from the US. The demonstration is planned for November 15th.
