Cuba denounces effects of US blockade in Barbados
Bridgetown, Jul 20 (Prensa Latina) Ambassador to Barbados Sergio Pastrana denounced the effects of the United States economic, commercial and financial blockade against Cuba for over six decades, local media reported on Tuesday.
Interviewed by the Barbados Today newspaper on the recent disturbances that took place in Cuba, Pastrana said that the situation faced by his country is the result of the effects of the long and tightened blockade by the United States.
The enforcement of 243 coercive measures under the former Donald Trump administration tightened that unilateral policy amid the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, he assured.

Article by July 20, 2021
Cuban Ambassador to Barbados Sergio Pastrana is eager to see the removal of the US restrictions so that commerce between Bridgetown and Havana could increase.
In an interview with
Barbados TODAY on the recent protests in his homeland, Pastrana said the situation facing his home country was as a result of “the effects of the long and increased blockade by the United States”, which has been made worse by the “stress of the pandemic”.
There are more than 240 US sanctions against Cuba, businesses operating in Cuba and individuals.
“These measures even went to the extreme of prohibiting the companies that normally sell pulmonary ventilators to Cuba to continue to selling them,” said Pastrana, who added that getting parts to carry out repairs has also proven difficult.
