HAVANA, Cuba, Feb 21 (acn) After a unanimous vote, the Mexican senate
has asked U.S President Barack Obama to take actions to lift the
economic, financial and commercial blockade of Cuba.
The initiative came from Senators Maria de Lourdes Rojo, Yeidckol
Polevnsky, Rosario Ybarra and Adriana Gonzalez, according to a Prensa
Latina report.
The legislators agreed to state that the blockade imposed on Cuba by
Washington for nearly five decades is the longest and cruellest of
such measures ever known in the history of mankind.
The senators added that the blockade is an essential part of a policy
marked by hostility and aggression that have failed to fulfill its goal
of destroying the Revolution.
Recently, the Mexican Senate passed an “amicus” to the U.S Supreme
Court in relation to the case of five Cubans that have been imprisoned
in American jails for more than 10 years now, for having tried to
prevent criminal actions led by Miami-based groups against the Cuban
people and government leaders.
