Mexico
Keeps Condemning US anti Cuban
Actions
Condemnation in Mexico of US
anti Cuban laws is still the
focus of national attention,
after ejection of a Cuban
delegation from a hotel in the
Mexican capital that is part of
a US hotel chain.
Both Parliamentary chambers also
expressed rejection to the US
steps against Cuba, when its
plenaries agreed to request from
the Executive a thorough
investigation of the incident,
which happened on Friday at the
Sheraton Maria Isabel hotel, in
the center of the city.
The Senate unanimously rejected
extraterritorial implementation
of foreign laws in then country
under any circumstance.
The legislators, as well as
their counterparts of the Deputy
Chamber, demanded from the
government a thorough
investigation of the ejection of
the Cuban delegation from the
Sheraton, and adoption of the
necessary diplomatic measures
for that kind of incident not to
happen again.
Leaders of the main political
parties have also expressed
rejection to implementation of
US anti Cuban laws in Mexico,
since the denunciation of the
incident at the hotel on Friday.
Members of the Mexican Movement
of Solidarity with Cuba (MMSC)
appeared in front of the
building and closed it
symbolically for two hours,
during a protest.
Several youths were in front of
the hotel with a large Mexican
flag and other flags of Cuba,
while others sealed the
entrances with banners against
US interference in the country.
Closed down, for being servile
to the US imperialism and hurt
the national sovereignty, read
one of the banners.
We are defending national
sovereignty, the Mexicans´ right
to decide who can visit our
country, Jesus Escamilla, one of
the protest leaders, told Prensa
Latina.
