![]() Scott’s important legislation will help them accomplish this dream.” We will not sit quietly on the sidelines and Sen. America stands with the Cuban people in their demand for freedom. We must not turn a blind eye to these offenses, or we dangerously run the risk of legitimizing communism. Senator Roger Marshall said, “Communism’s false promises have failed to provide the Cuban people with economic prosperity and basic human rights. It’s time for the United States to take concrete, targeted action against the worst abusers of the Diaz-Canel regime and uplift the people of Cuba as they strive for freedom and democracy.” The Biden administration has failed to hold the Cuban regime accountable for its crimes against humanity and abandoned the Cuban freedom-fighters. Senator Tim Scott said, “Cuba’s illegitimate communist regime trains our enemies, empowers our adversaries to destabilize democracies, and exports the brutality of communism throughout the Western Hemisphere and beyond. As a State Sponsor of Terrorism, the Castro/Díaz-Canel dictatorship continues to threaten our regional stability through their active support of anti-democratic regimes in our hemisphere.” From their puppet leader, Díaz-Canel, to their GAESA cronies, the Cuban dictatorship has continued to illegally enrich itself while everyday Cubans remain targets of oppression, censorship, and human rights violations. Senator Marco Rubio said, “Expanding from existing legislation, the DEMOCRACIA Act seeks to impose a cost on individuals who continue to oppress the people of Cuba. I urge my colleagues in the House and Senate to immediately take up and pass the DEMOCRACIA Act and send a clear message to President Biden that the time for strength in the fight for freedom in Cuba is now.” It’s time for President Biden to stop his failed appeasement and punish the communist regime for its crimes. ![]() The bill makes clear that the United States will not sit on the sidelines during this critical fight. The DEMOCRACIA Act implements severe sanctions against Communist Cuba and closes existing sanctions gaps. We know that a free and prosperous Cuba would liberate the Cuban people and eliminate the source of socialist cancer in our Hemisphere. This year alone, a significant influx of migrants from Cuba have illegally entered Florida. As the Cuban people’s fight for freedom from the oppressive and illegitimate communist Cuban regime continues, the United States must stand with the Cuban people. The illegitimate, communist Castro/Diaz-Canel regime harbors terrorist groups, has eliminated free and fair elections, threatens and arbitrarily arrests critics, journalists and political activists, and props up other ruthless dictators, like Maduro in Venezuela and Ortega in Nicaragua while providing a foothold in Latin American for Russia, Iran and Communist China to spread their influence. Senator Rick Scott said, “For decades, Cuba has been the root of instability in Latin America and a constant threat to the national security of the United States. Senators Marco Rubio, Tim Scott, Tommy Tuberville and Roger Marshall joined Senator Rick Scott in reintroducing the bill. Representatives Byron Donalds, Alex Mooney, Mario Díaz-Balart and María Elvira Salazar introduced the companion bill in the House of Representatives. – Today, Senator Rick Scott announced the reintroduction of the bicameral Denying Earnings to the Military Oligarchy in Cuba and Restricting Activities of the Cuban Intelligence Apparatus (DEMOCRACIA) Act to hold the illegitimate communist Cuban regime accountable through severe sanctions and unprecedented financial pressure.
