Mexico requests
info on Cuban tensions
The
Washington Times,
September 7, 2004.
Mexico City, Mexico, Sep. 7 (UPI) -- The
Mexican Federal Institute for Public Information
Access Tuesday requested details on a diplomatic
dispute between Mexico and Cuba, El Universal
reported.
According to a 32 page statement on IFAI's
web site, the institute instructed the Secretary
of the Interior and the Center for Investigation
and National Security to respond to questions
concerning a dispute between the two governments
in May.
Both nations issued a series of denunciations
of each other that ended in the formal severing
of relations and the withdrawal of both
ambassadors.
The government of Mexican President Fox
had accused Cuba of meddling in Mexico's
internal affairs, while Cuban President
Fidel Castro said the diplomatic tradition
with Mexico had been reduced to "ashes"
by Fox.
In the middle of the tensions, the Mexican
government was declined to make public details
of the disagreement. The IFAI said its inquiry
is in part an attempt to clarify the incident.
