Uruguay
Orsi spoke at the UN about Cuba and called for no indifference to the economic blockade
The Uruguayan president again defended the search for understandings and said no people should be forced to choose between models imposed from abroad.
Uruguay’s president, Yamandú Orsi, referred to Cuba during his speech before the UN General Assembly and warned about the “suffering” that, he said, the economic blockade on the island causes.
According to Subrayado, Orsi framed that mention within a defense of peace as a permanent construction and in the idea that one cannot be indifferent to what is happening in the world. In that section, he also mentioned the pain of prolonged wars, organized crime, terrorism and repression.
The president also maintained that, in Uruguay’s view, taking sides in a war, confrontation or dispute does not necessarily help resolve it and can deepen divisions. For that reason, he said his government’s commitment is to seek paths of understanding in order to achieve peaceful outcomes.
La Diaria added that Orsi reaffirmed Uruguay’s willingness to contribute to peacekeeping missions and defended the need for more effective and representative multilateral institutions. He also noted that no country has the absolute truth and that no people should be condemned to choose between models imposed from abroad.
