Havana.-
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.
