Mexican daily highlights MEPs stance on blockade against Cuba
Mexico, Mar 3 (Prensa Latina) The Mexican newspaper La Jornada, on Wednesday highlighted the demand to the United States by a group of 25 members of the European Parliament (EP) to end the economic, commercial and financial blockade against Cuba. The newspaper echoed a report by Prensa Latina about these legislators support for European Union (EU) Ambassador to Cuba Alberto Navarro, who joined a petition to the United States to lift the blockade against the Caribbean island.
Based on the report from the Latin American news agency, La Jornada noted that in a letter sent to the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, the members of the European Parliament support Navarro s position and reject the demand filed by some of their right-wing colleagues that he must be removed from his post.
