The chancellor, who will attend the meeting in the face of the president’s refusal Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador for the exclusion of Cuba, Nicaragua Y Venezuelahe paraphrased the former US president Barack Obama (2009-2017) and stressed that a different relationship on the continent cannot be conceived without agreeing and resolving the issue of Cuba.
“If we want to give rise to a new stage, which is the goal of the summit. You cannot maintain old decisions, such as exclusions of this nature or the right of selective intervention with respect to other countries“, he said, adding: “That is what President López Obrador is questioning. All of Latin America too, only they don’t dare to say it, but he does.”
According to the diplomat, Mexico’s position is not “individual” or “isolated”, but reflects a “feeling” in the different countries of the regionwhich in his opinion will be expressed by the different heads of state during the meeting in Los Angeles.
In that sense, he considered that the “path of complacency” undertaken for decades has been useless and has only worsened the situation.
“There is a new geopolitical reality, like it or not, and it is not an issue that Mexico is going to impose there. It cannot be denied. It’s like arguing that climate change doesn’t exist. What the new geopolitical reality is seeking are agreements, to find a system different from the previous one, and what prevents it now, what does not allow it to move on to a new chapter, is the blockade against Cuba”, he stated.
For Ebrard, the rejection of pressure groups, mainly Cubans in the United States, has no basis since they argue that it is necessary to isolate Havana for “the regime” to fall and 62 years later the blockade is still in force without it falling. but “at great human cost”.
“President (Joe) Biden seems to have a determination, a termination. It does not seem that he wanted to prolong the situation, as other presidents have done. That also has consequences and could also be guiding part of the summit, ”she estimated.
Achieving a regional agreement in this regard could also foster a new relationship on the continent, said the Mexican foreign minister, whose mission is to promote an organization that marks “a new era.”
As he pointed out, there is the possibility of arriving, with the floor necessarily strong, to leave behind the OAS -how is it right now–-to start a fairer relationship with respect to the sovereignties in the continent.
“There is a will on the part of the government of President Biden to advance the change, if not, why call the summit; there would be no case”, estimated the diplomat, who considered that the head of the White House seeks to “achieve something transcendental” beyond the meeting.
“I see that there is the intention to seek a new presence of the United States in the region. He knows that this is very important, because suddenly it seems that all the doors are opening. I cannot speak for him, but it is a calculation. He is in a moment where he knows that he has to do very profound things in his foreign policy, which is why the summit”, he concluded.
