At the beginning of the press conference, P rez Roque refuted Argentine Foreign Minister Adalberto Rodr guez Giavarini's claims that Cuba has escalated the conflict while he has been attempting to cool it down. It is impossible for him to publicly explain that he opposes the policy of the blockade and yet, at the same time, vote in favor of the U.S. resolution against the island, added P rez Roque. The Cuban foreign minister recalled how Rodr guez Giavarini had traveled to the United States on a very delicate and pressing mission, how he had wanted to draw attention with a carefully worded, obliging speech in line with his urgent plea for help, and how he had chosen Cuba as the theme, something that would be most agreeable for some of those with whom he was meeting. He confirmed that the comments made by Alejandro Gonz lez Galiano, Cuba's ambassador to Argentina, exactly represented the opinions of the Cuban Foreign Ministry and that the ambassador enjoys the government's full support and confidence in continuing the work entrusted to him. He noted that Rodr guez Giavarini had recalled Argentina's ambassador to Cuba and given him instructions to remain indefinitely in Buenos Aires.
