At UN, World Will Respond to Bush's Diatribe Against Cuba: Ortega

Havana, Oct 29 (acn) The UN General Assembly will debate the United
States blockade against Cuba, in what is expected to be a repeat of the
severe international condemnation of Washington for this punitive
measure against the island.

For the 16th consecutive year, the United Nations General Assembly will 
analyze and vote on the resolution entitled Necessity to put an end to 
the United States commercial, financial and economic blockade against 
Cuba.

Speaking from Managua, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega said that 
many people around the world are with Cuba and ratified his
condemnation of the blockade, reports Granma newspaper.

The Sandinista leader said that an almost unanimous support of Cuba on 
Tuesday in New York is expected, which will reflect the international 
community's response to the recent anti-Cuba speech delivered by US 
President George W. Bush.

"It was a disrespectful and interventionist diatribe," said Ortega, who 
added that, despite attacks from Washington, "the important thing is 
that Cuba is strong, alongside Fidel."
