Bruno Rodríguez in evidence: Canadian Foreign Minister expressed concern about violent repression of protests in Cuba

The Cuban Foreign MinisterBruno Rodriguez Grill was discredited by his version on Twitter of the telephone conversation he had with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada,Marc Garneau.

After holding official conversations, Rodríguez Parrilla went to his Twitter account to ensure that his Canadian counterpart "reiterated a firm position against the US blockade, which I appreciated."

"I expressed concern about systematic violations of the human rights of native peoples," said the Cuban Foreign Minister, while hundreds of detainees are registered in Cuba for participating in peaceful demonstrations on July 11.

However, Marc Garneau had shortly before published a version very different from that of Rodríguez Parrilla about the conversation held on Friday night.

Hesummary made by the Canadian Foreign Ministry, highlights that "Minister Garneau expressed Canada's deep concern about the violent repression of protests in Cuba, particularly the repressive measures against peaceful protesters, journalists and activists, and arbitrary detention."

"The people of Cuba deserve all their rights to freedom of expression and assembly, as well as democracy. Minister Garneau reiterated Canada's commitment to promoting and protecting human rights around the world and called for respect and defense of human rights. rights of the Cuban people," the document states.

In the exchange between the foreign ministers, the topics of the "challenging economic situation facing Cuba and the impacts of the pandemic on the Cuban people" were also discussed.

The statement from the Canadian Foreign Ministry does not mention the United States embargo on Cuba, but rather reiterated concerns about the constant violations of human rights in Cuba, an issue that Rodríguez Parrilla completely ignored in his tweet.

"I took the trouble to translate Marc Garneau's note, in no paragraph does he mention the word blockade, but rather the concern for the 7/11 protesters unjustly imprisoned, you lie to your face with total cynicism," the reporter fromCyberCuba and activist. Iliana Hernandez.

"But you have to have a tough face. The Canadian minister's response is totally opposite", "Bruno, there are too many lies already, give yourself respect", "Bruno, you forgot to mention the concern of the Canadian government about that meeting." for the repression of protests, the repressive measures against peaceful protesters and the arbitrary arrests. Do not lie, Chancellor, be transparent. short", were some of the many comments that the Cuban official has received.
