Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez on Tuesday lashed out at the prevailing economic models around the world, which favor minorities and condemn millions of people to poverty and unhealthy conditions.
On his Twitter account, Bruno Rodriguez posted the distortions in the wealth distribution globally as an example.
The fortunes of the world's 10 wealthiest men have increased by half a trillion dollars since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The figure, according to Oxfam, would allow financing a global vaccine against the disease and would also prevent many people from falling into poverty due to the economic crisis generated by the present health emergency.
The Cuban foreign minister recently condemned the other face of inequality that humanity is nowadays experiencing, expressed in access to available Covid-19 vaccines.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), only 10 countries bought 95% of vaccines already produced, a figure that casts some doubts about the real possibilities of immunization for developing nations.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus considered that such a panorama illustrates that the globe is on the verge of a 'catastrophic moral failure', which will be paid for with the lives of many people in the poorest countries.
He added that while over 39 million doses have been administered in at least 49 high-income nations, only 25 were applied in a low-income nation.
