00:00And hundreds marched through Mexico City to protest U.S. sanctions and energy restrictions against Cuba.
00:05Waving Cuban flags and carrying signs condemning the blockade,
00:08demonstrators demanded an immediate end to restrictions targeting the island's fuel supplies.
00:13Activists accused Washington of trying to shock Cuba's economy
00:16following executive measures targeting countries supplying oil to the island,
00:20which have severely cut crude shipments.
00:23The rally coincided with the anniversary of the 1953 Moncada barracks assault,
00:27while U.S. authorities maintain sanctions that punish the entire Cuban population.
00:38That is why today we are mobilizing here from Mexico City,
00:42to let the Cuban people know that they are not alone,
00:44that we defend the Cuban revolution,
00:46and, above all, also to call on the governments of the world to uphold international law
00:52and for oil to return to Cuba.
00:55Donald Trump is pushing a genocidal blockade with the new sanctions
00:59and the new restrictions on Cuban tourism, on the Cuban medical sector.
01:03That does nothing but bring life to other places.
01:07So they are trying to strangle the Cuban people,
01:09to suffocate them in order to try to generate an internal revolt.
