Belgium

Executive summary

Belgium's engagement with Cuba operates under the EU Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement signed 12 December 2016, currently under review, yet no medical mission has ever been established there, with zero cumulative personnel recorded and an officially inactive status—no brigades were deployed even during the Covid-19 pandemic. Consequently, no discrepancies between official and independent statistics arise, as there are no operational figures to manipulate, nor documented labour rights violations such as movement restrictions or passport retention within Belgian territory. However, propagandistic political activity is confirmed: on 17 May 2022, the Cuban Embassy publicized a visit by two mission veterans recounting their overseas experiences. A mission that never existed, yet still serves as a stage for the regime's narrative.
