HAVANA, Cuba.- It is a law that deeply offends the Cubans and we are obliged to give the fight it, Johana Tablada, deputy Director of the Directorate of the United States of the Cuban Chancellery, said referring to the Hemls-Burton Act.

The diplomat was one of the speakers in a Cuban civil society audience that analyzed the genocidal expression of the Monroe policy of the U.S. government against Cuba.

The former Chancellor and former President of the National Assembly, Ricardo Alarcon, emphasized the need for Cubans to know in detail this legal spawn, which is an attempt to recolonize the nation.

To apply the Helms-Burton Act, to return the properties to those who lost them on January 1, 59, they must occupy this country and that will not happen if we are able to keep us together and vigilant, Alarcon said.

It Is Not Just Unfair

The President of the Cuban Society of Commercial Law, Rodolfo Davalos, said the Helms-Burton Act as the entire blockade is not only unfair but also illegal and hurts all the Cuban people.

Davalos asked all sectors of national civil society to mobilize to disseminate the illegality of this legal spawn, which has become a contemporary expression of the Monroe Doctrine.

Also the President of the Cuban Society of International Law, Luis Sola, referred to the context where the hostility of the United States began, which supported Batista´s dictatorship and then launched against Cuba not only an economic aggression, but actions of State terrorism.

Now, the unity of all Cubans is the basis for facing the aggression the Helms-Burton Act means, the distinguished jurist said in intervening in the audience of the Cuban civil society.
