English/ Español: Rubio Commemorates Six Month Anniversary of Historic Anti-Communist Protests in Cuba
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued a statement commemorating the six month anniversary of the July 11th anti-communist protests against the Cuban regime throughout the island of Cuba. A significant day that will forever be known as a day where Cubans from all walks of life, marched peacefully seeking freedom. After the historic protests, Rubio spoke on the Senate floor where he stated: “Young people in Cuba, artists in Cuba, realize that the only country on this planet where Cubans are not successful is Cuba, and they’re tired of it. And we should stand with them.”
“What occurred in Cuba six months ago was an unprecedented and historic event, which proved that a new generation of Cubans is tired of the promises of a failed Communist revolution,” Rubio said. “For over sixty years, the Castro regime has subjected the people of Cuba to unimaginable hardships. The July 11th protests showed the world that the desire for freedom is more powerful than the strong arm of a tyrannical and repressive dictatorship. We cannot allow their voices to be silenced, which is why the Senate needs to pass my PATRIA Y VIDA Act now.”
Rubio’s PATRIA Y VIDA Act would build a strategy to protect internet freedom worldwide and strengthen support for technologies that allow users to evade foreign government-backed censorship and restrictions.
Rubio is the Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women’s Issues
RUBIO CONMEMORA SEIS MESES TRAS LAS HISTÓRICAS PROTESTAS ANTICOMUNISTAS EN CUBA
Washington, DC — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió un comunicado para conmemorar los seis meses de las protestas anticomunistas del 11 de julio en contra del régimen cubano en la isla de Cuba. Una fecha que será recordada por siempre como un día donde los cubanos de todos los sectores marcharon pacíficamente en busca de la libertad. Tras las históricas protestas, Rubio habló en el pleno del Senado de EE.UU. donde expresó: “Los jóvenes en Cuba, los artistas en Cuba, se dieron cuenta que el único país del mundo donde los cubanos no tienen éxito es en Cuba y están cansados ??de eso. Debemos apoyarlos.”
“Lo ocurrido en Cuba hace seis meses fue un hecho histórico y sin precedentes, el cual demostró que una nueva generación de cubanos está cansada de las promesas de una revolución comunista fallida”, Rubio dijo. “Por más de sesenta años el régimen de Castro ha sometido al pueblo cubano a penurias inimaginables. Las protestas del 11 de julio le demostraron al mundo que el clamor por la libertad es más poderoso que el brazo fuerte de una dictadura represiva y tiránica. No podemos permitir que las voces de los cubanos sean silenciadas, por eso es necesario que el Senado apruebe mi legislación PATRIA Y VIDA de inmediato.”
La legislación PATRIA Y VIDA de Rubio, construiría una estrategia para proteger la libertad de Internet en todo el mundo y fortalecería el apoyo a las tecnologías que permiten a los usuarios evadir la censura y las restricciones respaldadas por gobiernos extranjeros.
Rubio es el Miembro de Más Alto Rango del Subcomité sobre Hemisferio Occidental, Crimen Transnacional, Seguridad Civil, Democracia, Derechos Humanos y Asuntos Globales de la Mujer.
