Mexico City - The Mexican Ambassador to Havana Jorge Eduardo Navarrete said Monday that the US blockade policy against Cuba is obsolete, counter-productive and a total failure.
Navarrete made his statement during the presentation of "Vecinos en Conflicto" (Neighbors in Conflict), in the International Book fair that closed today in Mexico City΄s Palacio de la Mineria.
The book, written by Henry Raumont, deals with US links with Latin America.
Navarrete said the election of Raul Castro to the presidency of Cuba has not made the US government change its blockade policy.
He mentioned historian Barbara Tuckman regarding self-deceit in US administrations' interaction with Latin American countries, and recalled the invasion of Guatemala in 1954, the Bay of Pigs in Cuba in 1961, and other US interventionist acts.
The ambassador concluded by saying that elements of this paradigm, although with less propaganda, are still present in the way the US government reacts to the processes taking place in Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Venezuela. |
