United States leads new slander campaign against Cuba
['Please Enter Your Name Here']
Date: None

As published by the newspaper Granma in its edition this Wednesday, for several weeks, the United States Government has been conducting a new slander and discredit campaign against Cuba as part of its policy of growing hostility against our country.

It drives it against the political failure to try to render the Cubans with the resurgence of the economic blockade and the measures to deprive us of fuel, and in the face of the demonstrated capacity of resistance of our people, which optimistically celebrates the 500th anniversary of the capital.

It uses as a pretext the arrest of the counter-revolutionary José Daniel Ferrer, a salaried agent serving the United States, with a long history of provocative actions against public order and against legality. The Embassy of the United States in Cuba has been the fundamental vehicle of attention, orientation and financing of the behavior of José Daniel Ferrer, in a clear manifestation of interference in the internal affairs of Cuba and of an open instigation to violence, to the disturbance of order and contempt of law enforcement by this citizen.

The head of the diplomatic mission personally conducts this performance. It is known that, far from being dedicated to the promotion of bilateral ties, to watch over the interests of the American people and their Government, and to the promotion of peaceful relations between the States, the Diplomatic Mission of that country in Cuba and particularly its In charge of Business, they have focused in recent months on the failed purpose of recruiting mercenaries, promoting division and confusion in our town, identifying areas of the economy against which to direct coercive measures, and trying to slander and discredit the management of the Cuban Government and the Revolution.

As practice tends to be, the lie in the mouth of US government officials is a fundamental ingredient of the campaign. José Daniel Ferrer was arrested by the police on October 1, in response to the complaint lodged by a Cuban citizen, who accuses Ferrer and three other individuals of kidnapping him for a whole night and caused a severe beating that left him in conditions of hospital admission.

Ferrer is awaiting trial. He has been visited by his wife and children, as appropriate according to the rules for their legal situation. All references to his physical disappearance, to alleged physical abuse, to torture or to receiving insufficient food are pure lies, deliberately conceived and guided by the United States Government and its Embassy in Havana.

He has had proper medical attention, performs regular physical exercises and, upon request made, is provided religious assistance. It should be known that before his activity at the service of the United States Government, José Daniel Ferrer had a criminal and violent behavior trajectory, totally absent from political motivations. He has recorded records dating back to 1993.

These include attacks with physical violence against other citizens, including women, and public disorder, behavior that has increased in recent years. Above all this there is sufficient evidence. It is not new for the United States Government to use people of these characteristics for its subversive political activity against Cuba and for discredit campaigns with unscrupulous support from the mainstream media.
