A-Infos (en) Germany, Dia Platform: US Imperialist Aggression Against Cuba - Solidarity with the Cuban People! (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

The US Embargo Against Cuba ---- Since the Cuban Revolution of 1960 and 
the subsequent expropriation of US companies and citizens in Cuba, the 
US has imposed a financial, trade, and political embargo against Cuba. 
It is the longest trade embargo in modern history and has posed a 
gigantic problem for the Cuban economy since the collapse of the 
socialist Eastern Bloc: The country struggles with severe restrictions 
on investment and tourism - its most important source of income. The 
ability to establish political relations or trade with other countries 
is also severely limited; yet Cuba is existentially dependent on foreign 
trade.

Recent Tightening of the Blockade

With the beginning of Trump's second term in January 2025, the measures 
were further tightened to intensify the pressure on Cuba. Previous 
rapprochements were reversed, and, for example, migration of Cubans to 
the US was further restricted.

Following the US attack on Venezuela, Cuba's main oil supplier, no more 
oil can be imported from there, and in early January 2026, Trump ordered 
a complete oil blockade of Cuba. Countries that do not comply are 
threatened with "grave consequences." This has had serious repercussions 
for Cuba: no more oil is entering the country, leading to blackouts and 
significant disruptions to the electricity supply.

Cuba's Emergency Plan and International Support
In early February, the Cuban government announced an emergency plan to 
adapt its energy supply and food production. Initial aid shipments from 
Mexico have arrived. China and Russia also intend to increase their 
influence in the region through their support. Furthermore, an 
international fleet called "Nuestra América" has announced it will begin 
delivering aid to Cuba in March. The German parliament has remained 
largely silent so far, as have almost all German media outlets.

For the Cuban population, the situation is catastrophic. The blockade is 
severely impacting the population and exacerbating their already 
difficult circumstances.

Role

The blockade is not merely an economic measure or an act of 
anti-communist revenge, but also an instrument of US imperialism to 
destabilize Cuba. Trump has publicly announced military operations and 
stated that the US aims for regime change in Cuba by the end of 2026. 
The current imperialist aggression against Latin American countries 
demonstrates that US imperialism operates both openly militarily 
(Venezuela) and through economic isolation and the destruction of entire 
economic systems. This punishes the Cuban state for its resistance 
against US hegemony.

Solidarity with the People of Cuba

As anarchists, we have little regard for the Cuban state. Furthermore, 
we know that anarchists and other opposition revolutionaries who 
participated in the revolution were murdered by the Cuban authorities, 
and that anarchist organizing in Cuba remains extremely difficult to 
this day.

``` We do not stand in solidarity with the Cuban state regime, but with 
the people of Cuba. For it is they who suffer under the unbridled 
imperialism of the USA. The answer to every imperialist aggression 
remains internationalism and class struggle!
