Well Deserved, Well Appreciated!!
Born on April 20th, 1960 -- after the Jan. 1-1959 triumph of the Cuban Revolution -- Miguel Diaz-Canel -- has been the President of Revolutionary Cuba since 2018 and in 2021 his leadership of Cuba was further expanded when he was also named Secretary. Contrary to what the U. S. media and the U. S. government say, Diaz-Canel is very popular with a strong majority of everyday Cubans and that has been so since he spent five years as Cuba's Education Minister.
But this week in mid-September of 2021 has been the best and most prestigious week that Diaz-Canel has had both in Cuba, in the region, and around the world. That is because of the crucial support Diaz-Canel is receiving from his dear friend Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the influential President of Mexico!!! Back in July in a blistering speech that was streamed live on international television and on the internet, Lopez Obrador excoriated the U. S. blockade of Cuba and called it "inhumane" against Cuban families on the island, especially during the pandemic. And back on Thursday of this week as Mexico lavishly celebrated its greatest holiday that marked the 211th anniversary of its Independence Day, Lopez Obrador make sure that Cuba's Diaz-Canel was indelibly spotlighted as the prime guest and prime speaker during the Independence Day extravaganzas. While praising Diaz-Canel profoundly, Lopez Obrador purposely embarrassed Ken Salazar, the U. S. ambassador to Mexico, by repeating words such as: "No nation has a right to commit genocide against people in another nation, a nation that is much smaller."
For two days this week Diaz-Canel and Lopez Obrador spent a lot of time in private conversations.
In fact this week, President Lopez Obrador and his wife/First Lady Beatriz Gutierrez spent a lot of time with President Diaz-Canel and his wife/First Lady Lis Cuesta Peraza. {Above Lis is beside Lopez Obrador and Beatriz is beside Diaz-Canel}.
And this weekend President Lopez Obrador of Mexico hosted the CELAC Conference that is comprised of 32 Caribbean and Latin American nations. And ONCE AGAIN President Lopez Obrador made sure to excoriate the U. S. for its blockade of Cuban families. The international media particularly quoted Lopez Obrador for saying, "No state has the right to subjugate masses of people in another state, another country, and the U. S. has tried to subjugate Cuba decade-after-decade with a perverse and inhumane embargo that it has enlarged to an even crueler blockade during the pandemic."
As the host this weekend of the 32-nation CELAC Conference, Mexico's President Lopez Obrador pointed out that the OAC -- The Organization of American States -- is a tool of the United States, as are the international banks, and thus they "support U.S.-led genocide against Cuban families during the pandemic. Thus, Caribbean and Latin American nations not selling out to the U. S. must show compassion for Cuban families on their island. Selling national sovereignty to a superpower is appealing, I guess, but there should be limits."
On Thursday when Mexico celebrated its 211 Years of Independence, the major speaker and guest was Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel.
At this weekend's meeting of the 32 Caribbean and Latin American states, Miguel Diaz-Canel again was the major speaker in Mexico City, making sure that Cuba's views on the U. S. blockade were aired.
At the CELAC meeting Mexican President Lopez Obrador denounced Europe for allowing the U. S. blockade of Cuba "to exist."
At the CELAC meeting this weekend Nicolas Maduro, the President of Venezuela, said, "I was supposed to be replaced by the hand-picked President owned by Miami Cubans and the U. S. government. But the President of Bolivia was chased out of his country by a coup by the Miami Cubans and the U. S. government but the lady they picked as Bolivia's President has now been put in prison by the Bolivian people and charged with murder on behalf of the victims killed by the coup, so Bolivia is again Cuba's friend. President Ortega of Nicaragua, who had a Fidel-like revolution to beat the U.S.-armed rebels, is still in office but facing the same threats from the Miami Cubans and the U. S. that I am and other friends of Cuba are facing. So, President Lopez Obrador, I suppose you are a threat to the Miami Cubans and the U. S. now that you want to save Cuban families from genocide."
So for sure, it has been a big and prestigious week for Cuba and its President Miguel Diaz-Canel, thanks to the spotlight that Mexico's President Lopez Obrador has placed on Cuba, Cuba's President, and the U. S. Blockade of the island. Lopez Obrador back in July had begun his blistering campaign to powerfully denounce the U. S. blockade of Cuba but this week he used both Independence Day in Mexico as well as the 32-nation CELAC Conference to drive home his belief that the U. S. Blockade of Cuban families should be ended once and fall!!!
In this memorable week for Cuban families on the island, Mexico's President Lopez Obrador said, "Back in 1996 the rich Miami Cubans legalized the Helms-Burton Act that still in 2021 that the U. S. Congress is prohibited to erase even though it is a blueprint to commit genocide against Cubans in Cuba while it also serves as a blueprint for making the already rich U. S. Cubans richer and richer. Somewhere and someday all those riches must be viewed in their proper perspectives, which acknowledges the genocide Cubans in their sovereign country must endure to endlessly enrich Cubans in the U. S. along with their political supporters."
Thank You,
Mr. President!!!
