The Head of the Cuban Interest Section in Washington, Jorge Bolaños gave a lecture exposing the 50-year US economic, commercial and financial blockade of Cuba at the John Hopkins University, which opened the Fall Season Seminar on the West Hemisphere at that US higher education center.
In his lecture titled "La otra verdad" (The Other Truth) ambassador Bolaños illustrated with specific examples the huge human and material loss inflicted by the US blockade on the Caribbean nation, since it was imposed early in 1959.
Bolaños underscored the fact that there has been no other subject on the UN agenda, in which the US policy has ever been that much isolated and repudiated, like the case of Washington's blockade of Cuba.
In the end of his lecture, the Cuban ambassador pointed out that the reiteration of the same policy for 50 years with no results for the country that has implemented it is the best definition of a madness condition, but he said that in this case it is a criminal and murderous madness.
Attending the lecture were students and professors that filled the auditorium of the Paul H. Nitze Advanced Studies School.
Presiding over the seminar were Wayne Smith, former head of the US Interest Section in Havana, who acted as moderator, and Rioddan Roett, professor and head of Western hemisphere studies.
