The new measures against Cuba prepared by the United States are doomed,

assured Cuba Wednesday and said it has the solidarity of Latin America on her

side. Asked at a press conference on the announced project to promote a

political transition in Cuba prepared by the George W. Bush administration,

Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque said the US plan violates

international law. He warned that the report of the Commission appointed by Bush

is an escalation in the aggressive policy against the Island and expressed hope

that Latin American governments do not support the plans container in that

document, oriented to raise the economic blockade against Cuba. Perez Roque

recalled this country had resisted Washington's blockade for 45 years, which has

cost Cuba over 72 billion US dollars.
