Aleida Guevara March, daughter of Ernesto Che Guevara, stated that the government of the United States is depriving Cuba of the right to do business.
During a speech delivered at a school in Chennai, a city in India, he blamed the US economic embargo for the shortage of medicines and food in Cuba.
According to the daughter of the Argentine guerrilla fighter, eight out of 10 new generation medicines have US patents, and Cuba cannot acquire them due to the embargo.
"If I have a child with a serious illness, and only that drug can save him, I have to look for five intermediaries to get it," she said, quoted by Prensa Latina.
When answering the audience's questions, Guevara March took the opportunity to talk about the "benefits" of the Cuban healthcare system, claiming that it is completely free and that doctors like her are not allowed to practice medicine privately.
Regarding the lack of medications, he assured that Cuba is seeking alternative treatments such as homeopathy, acupuncture, and traditional Indian medicine.
"The United States is taking away our right to do business," he emphasized.
Guevara March and her daughter Estefanía were received by leaders of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) at Chennai Airport in the state of Tamil Nadu.
The second daughter of Che, of Cuban-Argentine nationality and an active defender of the Castro regime, referred to the Cubans who went out to protest on 11 July as "unscrupulous" and "low-class people".
In an audio recording broadcasted by the Argentine radio station Radio Rebelde AM 740 in July 2021, it was said that the protesters were "truly low-class people, people who have no scruples at all, who have taken to the streets and then some fools follow them."
According to the pediatrician, the thousands of people who took to the streets shouting Freedom and Homeland and Life were nothing more than criminals and ignorants, "unscrupulous people paid by the United States", who engaged in looting state institutions.
"But the truth is that the people have reacted very well and are controlling the situation. And we are demanding that the police act and defend what is ours," he pointed out at the time.
In June 2017, Guevara March lashed out against Cubans who leave their country, whom he called "naive" and "dream of what Hollywood movies portray."
Despite having raised the cultural level of the Cuban people, there are still naive individuals who believe the sirens' songs. They think that upon arriving in the U.S. with this law (the Cuban Adjustment Act), they are heading towards the American dream," she stated.
"It's amazing how some people can still get confused about this," he added.
