Ten years ago, when the Pope visited the country, he said that restrictive economic measures, imposed from outside the country against Cuba were unjust and ethically unacceptable.
Yesterday, His Eminence, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Secretary of State of His Holiness, Benedict XVI, expressed: "The Holly See confirms exactly the words of John Paul II" and he added also that the measures imposed by the White House, almost five decades ago against the Antillean nation, is an oppression of the Cuban people" and "a violation of its independence."
He expressed that the Vatican "makes attempts to drive the United States to eliminate this blockade."
