The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba (MINREX) issued this Tuesday adeclaration as a result offateful accident that occurred in Chiapas, in which he blamed the United States for “the irregular and disorderly emigration of Cubans.”

The tragic incident that occurred this Sunday on Mexican roadsleft a balance of 10 Cuban migrants dead and another 17 people injured, towards whose families the MINREX statement did not direct a single word.

“Cuba has warned about the responsibility of the United States government with the irregular and disorderly emigration of Cubans who arrive or intend to arrive at its borders,” said the Cuban regime's foreign ministry, without the slightest recognition or phrase of self-criticism that revealed some awareness and responsibility withCuban immigration crisis.

The Cuban regime insists on justifying the exodus of hundreds of thousands of Cubans as a consequence of the “economic blockade, reinforced in recent years,” which “causes extraordinary limitations to the Cuban economy and the population's standard of living, which stimulates the potential migratory".

In their list of reproaches to the United States, the Cuban authorities also blamed theCuban Adjustment Law of the stampede of Cubans that occurred in the last two years, criticizing that “expedited route to obtain residency, regardless of the forms and means they use, even if they arrive illegally in their territory.”

This “privilege of the Cuban migrant,” according to Havana, is what has moved hundreds of thousands of Cubans to sell all their belongings on the island and stampede across seas and jungles, traveling thousands of kilometers in precarious conditions. exposed to mafias, coyotes, muggers, rapists and other dangers that are sometimes fatal.

The Cuban Adjustment Law “does not only affect Cuba, Cuban emigrants and the United States themselves, but has consequences for several transit countries in the region, which add to the problems that these countries face with irregular emigration.” .

Cuba “has alerted” all of this to all the countries concerned, in an unusual case of a country that sends emigrants that instructs others while planning (there is plenty of evidence in this sense) a massive exodus that causes instability and problems in the territories of transit and destination countries.

This was expressed without embarrassment by the regime's foreign ministry, stating again and again that "Cuba ratifies its commitment to regular, orderly and safe emigration." A “commitment” that Cubans have experienced in the form ofarrangements with allied dictatorships andagreements with commercial airlines and tour operators that are extortive for “connationals”.

“Our government is interested and concerned about the well-being and safety of its migrants, for which it provides due consular assistance and guarantees for a voluntary and safe return,” theMINREX.

Finally, the Cuban regime urged “the United States government, once again, to adopt the necessary measures to prevent the tragic consequences of irregular emigration.” AtAndrés Manuel López Obrador in Mexico, to whom the Cubans in that country beglet them travel freely and safely to the northern border,The government that receives your oil donations tells you nothing.

In that sense, he assured that "he will continue working and cooperating with governments in the region to prevent irregular, unsafe and disorderly migration, to prevent risky departures that endanger human life and fight against acts of violence associated with this phenomenon and the related crimes, such as human trafficking and illegal migrant smuggling.”
