TWO MONTHS AGO on July 12 Mexican President Amlo (Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador) surprised many with his immediate and categorical declaration of solidarity with Cuba in response to the US-sponsored disturbances on the island.
He followed up his call for an end to the blockade by declaring that, whatever one’s opinion of the Cuban government, the island deserved a prize for dignity for its 61 years of resistance and should be declared a World Heritage site.
Actions followed words as two Mexican naval vessels carried food, medical supplies and diesel fuel to Havana (more have followed since).
