Miami, FL – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued a statement after the U.S. State Department updated the Cuba Restricted List and after it imposed visa ban sanctions, pursuant to Section 7031(c) of the Fiscal Year 2019 Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Act, against Julio César Gandarilla Bermejo, Cuba’s illegitimate Interior Minister (MININT):
“The Trump administration’s decision to add five additional entities owned by Cuba’s GAESA to the restricted list and its decision to sanction the regime’s illegitimate Interior Minister, is yet another measure to exert maximum pressure against companies and thugs who are benefiting at the expense of repression and violation of human rights in Cuba. As members of the Cuban regime continue to partake in repressing Cuban and Venezuelan nationals, we have a moral duty to hold them accountable.”
Rubio is the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women’s Issues.
RUBIO APLAUDE ACTUALIZACIÓN A LA LISTA RESTRINGIDA DE CUBA Y DESIGNACIÓN CONTRA MINISTRO ILEGÍTIMO DE CUBA
Miami, FL – El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió el siguiente comunicado después que el Departamento de Estado de los Estados Unidos actualizó la lista restringida de Cuba e impuso sanciones de prohibición de visa, en conformidad a la Sección 7031(c) del Acta del Año Fiscal 2019 del Departamento de Estado, Operaciones Extranjeras y Programas Relacionados, contra Julio César Gandarilla Bermejo, el ministro ilegítimo del Ministerio del Interior de Cuba (MININT):
“La decisión de la administración de Trump de añadir a cinco entidades más, que pertenecen a GAESA, a la lista restringida y la decisión de sancionar al ministro ilegítimo del Ministerio del Interior es otra medida de ejercer la máxima presión contra empresas y secuaces del régimen que se benefician a costa de la represión y violación de los derechos humanos en Cuba. Mientras miembros del régimen cubano continúen a reprimiendo a ciudadanos cubanos y venezolanos, tenemos el deber moral de responsabilizar a los culpables.”
Rubio es el Presidente del Subcomité de Relaciones Exteriores para el Hemisferio Occidental, Delincuencia Transnacional, Seguridad Civil, Democracia, Derechos Humanos y Asuntos Globales de la Mujer.
