U.S. Prevents Spanish Bank from Offering Services to Cuba
Madrid, Sep 10 (Prensa Latina) The economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the U.S. on Cuba over 54 years ago, prevented Spanish Banco Santander from offering services to representatives of the Caribbean island in this country, trascended here today.
A press release of Havana's embassy in Madrid revealed the system of sanctions of Washington prevented the Santander from having sales outlets at the Cuban General Consulates in the cities of Barcelona, Sevilla and Santiago de Compostela.
'It is disappointing that three Cuban consulates have been banned from receiving services from a Spanish entity to improve attention to their users', lamented the Cuban ambassador to Spain, Eugenio Martinez.
The diplomat attributed those restrictions to 'obscure and unjustified unilateral decisions of the U.S. that affect negatively the Cubans and third countries'.
