As mentioned on other occasions, the Argentine president has repeatedly stated that he feels “ashamed” that “there is a six-decade blockade on Cuba and a five-year blockade on Venezuela and that it has not changed during the pandemic.” He told Christopher Dodd, special adviser to the United States Government for the IX Summit of the Americas, in a recent meeting. This is one of the precedents.
However, another fact must also be mentioned that acts as a counterweight to the latter: the personal management carried out by Biden to make Argentina’s negotiation with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) more accessible. President Fernández is grateful to Biden for that intervention. For this reason, he adds another relevant record to that plan: both AMLO and Alberto Fernández do not want Donald Trump to recover the Oval Office in 2025, therefore, they do not want to generate a political cost for him in the Summit by being absent. In addition to Trump’s intention to return to the White House, Biden is weak due to the post-pandemic economic situation and the impact of the war in Ukraine.
The situation in Mexico deserves mention. AMLO has repeatedly pointed out opportunities that he cannot attend (although his foreign minister will). That the Constitution prohibits it and that it would be an “interference in the internal affairs of the United States.” But, as noted, AMLO wants to avoid a political cost to Biden in his race against Trump. “President Biden is good people, he does not have a hard heart, but there are small groups of interests that act and threaten,” the Mexican said last Friday in his “mornings,” the morning press conferences that he gives to the press. On that occasion he also maintained: “Yesterday I spoke with Alberto Fernández, good, supportive people, they do not have the principle of non-intervention in their Constitution like we do, that is why Mexico’s foreign policy is extraordinary.” López Obrador asked Fernández, in his capacity as head of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), to travel to publicize the criticism of some countries that are part of that bloc.
The same thing was requested, in recent days, by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro of Fernández. In his statements in the framework of the XXI ALBA Summit, Maduro maintained that he expressed “the gratitude of the people of Venezuela” to the Argentine president. “His firm voice will be one of the most powerful voices to question the exclusion and the attempted division of Latin America and the Caribbean. All our support!”, Said the Venezuelan in reference to the Argentine president.
