Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla, when addressing some 60 leaders from the two regions gathered in Madrid, advocated the establishment of this governance “Provided -he said- that is based on true democracy and social justice.”
“56 percent of all human beings are living in poverty, there is not such a thing as the so- called global community and multilateralism in international relations remains a fiction,” said Rodriguez Parrilla, who heads his country's delegation this Summit.
Rodriguez Parrilla denounced that what we have nowadays is dictatorial global governance, based on domination, hegemony, double standards and hypocrisy, reported Prensa Latina news agency.
“Just read the doctrine of NATO or watch the redeployment of United States in Latin America and the Caribbean or the military coup in Honduras,”
According to the Cuban Foreign Minister, the current economic crisis is global, systemic and multiple, and while “Here we discuss possible ways out of it, for example, climate change continues devastating and Europe continues to be reluctant to pay its ecological debt.”
He called before the plenary of the meeting to prevent the current financial debacle emphasizes the different nature of the EU and Latin America and the Caribbean.
In this regard he called on the bloc otherwise interact with Latin American and Caribbean countries, seeing them as a group of independent countries with 570 million people, a strong culture of its own and all resources.
Rodriguez Parrilla urged to build a new financial architecture and out of the Bretton Woods agreements, which in 1944 set the rules for trade and financial relations among the major industrialized countries.
The effects of this crisis should not be discharged on the Third World, nor on workers, retirees and poor Europeans, stressed the Cuban FM referring to the adjustment plans implemented in several European nations.
In times of trouble, in particular, international law must prevail, avoid the use of threats and force and exercised sovereign equality and political independence of States, Rodriguez insisted.
He warned that the world needs a new political order first, then go to structural economic decisions.
Cuba will continue to defend truth and reason; its government is due to the Cubans and the peoples of our America, he concluded.
