In a resolution approved by 283 votes to 199 and 85 abstentions, MEPs say that after five decades of a communist regime Cuba is close to being a failed state. They stress that the current humanitarian emergency -89% of families living in extreme poverty- is “not the product of any external embargo but the direct consequence of the regime's own model and failures”.

Fuck. I knew there was some animosity about Cubans apparently fighting for Russia, but that's basically a complete reversal from any of their previous positions on Cuba. Up until this, I thought it was basically the US and Israel, and maybe a few others. That's really disappointing.

You're thinking of the UN (and even there the EU countries sometimes only abstain, depending on "political climate"). This is about European Parliament, where the imperialists are all among themselves and don't have to concern themselves with how "the Jungle" (the Global South) will perceive them.
