President Andrés Manuel López Obrador endorsed his support for the Cuban government, led by Miguel Díaz-Canel; and assured him that he will never be on the side of “coup plotters”.
“I will never participate with coup plotters who conspire against the ideals of equality and universal fraternity. Regression is decadence and desolation, it is a matter of power and not of humanity. I prefer to continue to maintain the hope that the Revolution will be reborn in the Revolution,” he said during a meeting with the Cuban president on May 8.
López Obrador said he has no doubt that in Cuba things are being done correctly to renew and secure with the example left by the martyrs who fought for freedom, equality, justice and sovereignty.
“I have the conviction and faith that in Cuba things are being done for that purpose, that the new Revolution in the Revolution is made, it is the second great teaching, the second great lesson of Cuba for the world,” the president said.
During his visit to Cuba, AMLO promised Día Canel that he will insist with U.S. President Joe Biden that they not be excluded from the next summit of the Americas to be held in Los Angeles, California and to which Cuba and Venezuela are not invited.
“I will insist with President Biden that he does not exclude any country in America from next month’s summit, to be held in Los Angeles, California. And that the authorities of each country decide freely whether or not to attend such a meeting, but that no one excludes anyone,” he said.
Before the meeting with the media, the Mexican president received the José Martí award, the highest distinction made to a foreigner.
The visit of the Mexican president also served to strengthen ties in health matters and an agreement was signed for health and scientific exchange between our countries.
