Bush offers support for Cuban Democracy

posted by Charlotte Meyer at 13h43 GMT on Oct 25

Yesterday Bush declared that the United States of America wants to aid Cuba, but only after democracy has been restored.

Bush has stated that there will be no change in the current economic sanctions, but that the current U.S. administration wants to aid political dissidents by inviting them to embassy events all over the world and encouraging NGO's and civil society to reach out to Cuban emmigrants.

Moreover, Bush has promised to start an 'International Freedom Fund' for Cuba. All nations are invited to donate to the Fund, which will help develop Cuba. Bush declared that the funds will only become available to Cuba after democracy has been instated in the country.
