Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum proposed a declaration against military intervention in Cuba today. During her speech at the IV Summit in Defense of Democracy.
At the event, part of the Global Progressive Mobilization (GPM) initiative taking place in Barcelona. Sheinbaum vehemently defended Cuba’s independence and sovereignty.
“I want to propose a declaration against military intervention in Cuba. May dialogue and peace prevail,” she emphasized at the summit. Which is being attended by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. And the presidents of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Colombia, Gustavo Petro; and Uruguay, Yamadú Orsi, among others.
Elaborating on the arguments for her initiative, Sheinbaum recalled that Mexico “has always upheld its principles, even in isolation.” And “raised its voice against the blockade of Cuba in 1962 when others remained silent.”
“To this day, we believe, speaking of that small Caribbean island. That no people is small, but rather great and stoic when it defends its sovereignty and the right to a full life,” she declared.
She took the opportunity to reaffirm the pride that accompanies certain milestones in Mexican history. Such as the 2024 election of the first female president. And that Mexico’s unwavering constitutional principles in foreign policy “are more alive than ever” on the world stage.
“Instead of sowing war, let us sow peace, let us sow life,” she stated, contrasting the need. Already proposed at the G20, to “allocate 10 percent of global arms spending to promote a global program. That allows millions of people to reforest millions of hectares each year.”
