Mitt Romney’s campaign blasted out a Spanish-language press release on Friday hailing Cuban Independence Day, a move that comes days after the release of their first Spanish-language television ad.

The “DECLARACIÓN DE MITT ROMNEY SOBRE EL DĺA DE LA INDEPENDENCIA DE CUBA” also came out in English and included a lengthy statement condemning human rights abuses by the Castros.

“Too many dreams have been shattered, too many lives have been ruined, and too many families have been separated by the tyranny of the Castro regime,” Romney said. “Too many Independence Day celebrations have passed with that regime still clinging to power. And too many political leaders—on both sides of the aisle—have lauded the dream of a free Cuba on this day over the years, only to falter in realizing that dream once in office.”
