Two big dangers are hovering over Latin America: the US is assuming the

right to interfere in other nations´ affairs and the project of Free Trade Area

of the Americas (FTAA), Mexican Cuauhtemoc Cardenas said in Havana. President of

the Mexican party "Fundacion para la Democracia" (Foundation for

Democracy), Cuauhtemoc Cardenas, said in a speech at the University of Havana

that US is defending its economic, military and political hegemony not only over

Latin America but also the whole world. Powerful nations are deciding nowadays

which countries are not aligned with the way they assumed as the right one. They

believe to have the right to interfere in any government´s affairs, imposing

laws by force, Cardenas said. Cuba, Mexico, Latin America and other countries of

the world have been victims and have painful experiences of military, economic

and political intervention of superpowers, the Mexican leader added. The Mexican

visitor hopes the Mexican representatives at the UN Human Rights Commission

maintain Mexico´s traditional policy of non-intervention and respect to

self-determination and do not support a vote to condemn Cuba.
