Speaking to Prensa Latina news agency on the upcoming general elections of
July 1 in Mexico, Padierna noted that the people of Mexico love Cuba and
they want the end of Washington’s almost 50-year-old economic blockade of
the Caribbean nation.

In addition, she denounced and condemned the illegal process against five
Cuban antiterrorists who were arrested and given harsh and unjust
sentences in the United States for monitoring anti-Cuba right wing groups
in South Florida that were planning and carrying out terrorist actions
against Cuba.

Regarding the situation in Mexico, she pointed out that her country needs
an economy that can guarantee full employment to millions of citizens who
need it. He added that it is necessary to implement social policies that
can help reduce the gap between the rich and the poor.

“And when I speak about social rights I mean like those already achieved
in Cuba where there is no illiteracy, where hunger is not a problem and
where everyone enjoy their right to education and health,”
