The President of Mexico against the US embargo on Cuba

Mexico’s president, center-left Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, on Monday once again condemned Cuba’s economic blockade by the United States.

“I do not think Cuba should be isolated, politically speaking. You should not strangle Cubans because they chose to stay in their homeland,” said Lopez Obrador, referring to the Washington-imposed embargo on Havana. from half a century.

“I am against exclusion, I consider it inhumane. No one has the right to isolate and strangle a people,” he said, calling US policy “backward.”

Each country has the right to choose its system of government according to the temperament of its people and its history, the Mexican president added, commenting on the new counterclaims between Washington and Havana over a banned dissident demonstration that was eventually canceled.

US sanctions escalate in the days of former Republican President Donald Trump, who shut down almost all flights from his country to Cuba except for a few to Havana, barred cruise ships from docking on the island and to Cuban-American remittances. Any expectations of a resurgence in bilateral relations following the ouster of Democrat Joe Biden appear to have been dashed.
