Statement by the CENA Coordination on Marco Rubio's visit to Europe.
Marco Rubio is not welcome!
In the coming days, Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State and Trump’s right-hand man, will visit a few European countries, specifically Greece, Portugal and Iceland, between the 5th and 8th of October.
His purpose is none other than to advance United States and NATO war plans in cooperation with these governments, as well as to renew the agreements concerning the presence of U.S.-NATO military bases in these countries. This warmongering policy benefits big capital, which do not hesitate to plunge the peoples into bloodshed for the sake of the capitalists’ profits.
The hand of Rubio, which various heads of state are preparing to shake in the coming days, is stained with the blood of the peoples of Palestine, Iran, Lebanon and the wider Middle East. It is the very same hand of U.S.-NATO imperialism that is attempting to economically strangle socialist Cuba through the brutal blockade, while at the same time continuing to invest in the bloodshed in Ukraine.
We, the organisations of the Europe and North America Region of WFDY, declare loud and clear that the butcher Rubio is not welcome in our countries. We do not accept the war plans of the U.S., nor are we available to fight in their wars! Thus, we call for the intensification of the struggle in these very days against the war plans of the U.S. and NATO, against the participation of our countries in the war machine, for the removal of the bases of death from our countries, for the end of the warmongering escalation and for the improvement of the living conditions of the youth.
