EU Boss Praises Communist Cuba and Obama Era on Havana Visit, Ignores Human Rights Abuses

The leader of the Liberal group in the European Parliament has slammed the bloc’s Foreign Minister and top diplomat for failing to raise human rights concerns on a trip to Communist Cuba. High Representative of the European Union (EU) for Foreign Affairs and Vice-President of the European Commission Federica Mogherini used the trip to boast that the EU is now Cuba’s most important trading partner, and also met with dictator Raúl Castro.

She also made a subtle dig at President Donald J. Trump, saying the EU would continue the approach to Cuba championed by predecessor Barack Obama “regardless of the changes in policy in Washington.”

“Nearly 900 arbitrary detentions of government critics take place in Cuba every month,” blasted Guy Verhofstadt, a federalist, anti-Brexit MEP who was formerly Prime Minister of Belgium and currently leads the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) in the European Parliament.

“Federica Mogherini just visited the island but didn’t meet civil society representatives or political opposition. What a missed opportunity and weak, regrettable strategy!”

Ms. Mogherini arrived in the murderous one-party state on Wednesday, aiming to strengthen its ties with the EU.

Most lawyer politicians stick together, even if one is a dictator that has literally murdered thousands of innocent people. Seemingly, it is as if slaughtering non-politicians, citizens, or what have you, is forgivable, and completely ok to ignore it.

We really should get back to the meaning of the “Statue of Liberty”. A vision of the dominating power of the human spirit for freedom.

Encourage the world to follow and copy our way of life.
Lead by example.
We have issues, but we have the best system the world has ever seen.

That doesn’t mean go to war in every shiite-hole on the planet. It does mean start at home, by leading all of our own people into the light of liberty.

“More like she hasn’t had a hump in a month ...”

That too! I thought that a Mogherini was some sort of failed Italian car company. I guess I was wrong, because it looks more like some sort of malignant cyst.
