An interview with a senior official from the United States Department of State (DOS) revealed that the Cuban government resorted to a brazen response during one of the regular immigration dialogues that occur between officials from both nations.
According to Karim Lang, this cynical response was given during a meeting in which the end of flights to Nicaragua was demanded, which are used to promote human trafficking and illegal migration to the United States.
According to the official, Cuba’s totalitarian regime claimed “to have no power” over these flights, this despite maintaining almost total control on the Island for more than 60 years.
Likewise, Castro officials affirmed that the island’s citizens had the right to travel wherever they wanted, despite the fact that the Cuban government itself is known for “regulating” the departures of those it considers “opponents.” .
The interview, shared by journalist Mario J. Pentón, points out that the regime claims to have no control over what its citizens do after arriving in Nicaragua, one of the few countries that does not require a visa.
This information makes it clear that the Cuban government does not plan to take responsibility for the situation, so the US will continue to maintain its position on the matter and continue sanctioning those who promote illegal migration to North American territory.
In that sense, EEU reaffirmed that it seeks safe, orderly and legal migration, which is why the issuance of immigrant visas has already resumed in Havana, a process that was suspended a few months ago.
The fact that the Castro government ignores the migration phenomenon is nothing new, since it has always blamed the economic crisis, the protests on the island and the US embargo for the mass exodus that has affected the country for years.
This position ignores the internal failures of communism, something that is criticized by the Cuban community inside and outside the Island, which has long demanded that officials take responsibility for the errors of their obsolete system.
These actions reflect an inefficiency in addressing the real problems that affect the people, as well as an obvious interest in benefiting economically from illegal migration.
US sanctions
It is important to remember that, due to the lack of cooperation from the Castro regime, the US has had to sanction those people who promote flights from Cuba to Nicaraguabecause by promoting illegal migration the lives of those willing to travel to the US irregularly are being put at risk.
The DOS recently reported on a new series of sanctions targeting operators of charter flights to Nicaragua, as well as the owners, executives and senior officials of these companies.
These sanctions have placed these people on a “black list” that will prevent them from processing US visas and prohibits them from entering North American territory.
