Mexico, Spain, and Brazil have jointly expressed their alarm over the 'grave humanitarian crisis' facing Cuba, advocating for a 'sincere and respectful dialogue' to address the situation. In a statement released by Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the three countries emphasized the need for measures to alleviate the hardships endured by the Cuban people. They underscored that any dialogue should align with international law and empower Cubans to determine their own future. This appeal coincided with a summit of leftist leaders in Barcelona, where prominent figures, including Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, gathered to discuss protecting democracy. The context of the statement highlights ongoing tensions, particularly the pressures from U.S. President Donald Trump, who has imposed an oil blockade on Cuba, worsening the island's economic and energy crises.
