The Popular Assemblies Movement of Costa Rica considers the reduction of diplomatic ties with Cuba, from Embassy to Consulate, as “a gesture of grave geopolitical significance.”
The decision to withdraw part of the Costa Rican diplomatic staff from the island and request a similar measure from Havana “is interpreted by us as a possible prelude to aligning with belligerent dynamics that could imply a direct aggression against that sister nation in the very short term,” adds a statement from the organization.
The Popular Assemblies Movement, focused on defending collective interests in communities, called for “a meeting of civil society organizations to discuss these political-diplomatic events that affect regional peace.”
“Given this scenario, we consider it urgent to coordinate solidarity efforts from grassroots organizations, under the common slogan: ‘We want peace,’” the statement, which was forwarded to Prensa Latina, added.
The Costa Rican progressive organization invited everyone “to participate in this joint and solidarity-based effort,” and to add their voices and influence to this call.
The Popular Assemblies Movement brings together groups of Costa Rican citizens without political positions, focused on defending collective interests such as addressing community grievances regarding sociopolitical or economic issues.
