Therefore, in the Morning of this Tuesday, he affirmed that the economic blockade imposed by the United States on Cuba is an inhumane, extreme and medieval action.” There is a delicate situation in Cuba, because they are suffering a blockade, which I consider inhumane, because it is an extreme measure, it is like a medieval action, it shows a great backwardness in foreign policy. It has nothing to do with the fraternity that must exist among the peoples of the world, well because of that blockade it is difficult for them to buy food, food, medicines, oxygen,” said The President of Mexico Andrés Manuel López Obrador.Later he pointed out that this July 27 a boat with food and oxygen leaves for Cuba, as well as on July 28 another will leave from the port of Veracruz , in order to “help the people of Cuba”.

Here it is, 184 in favour, three against and three abstentions.
