Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador demanded the replacement of the Organisation of American States (OAS) for an independent body, during a ceremony on Saturday at the Chapultepec Castle, in Mexico City, to commemorate the 238th anniversary of the birth of Simon Bolivar.

“The proposal is neither more nor less than to build something similar to the European Union, but attached to our history, our reality and our identities,” said the Mexican president, adding that “the replacement of the OAS by a truly autonomous body should not be ruled out, not a lackey of anyone anymore, but a mediator at the request and acceptance of the parties in conflict in matters of human rights and democracy.”

Lopez Obrador also called for an end to the interferences in the region and urged the United States to withdraw the economic blockade against Cuba, in addition to proposing the creation of a new model that promotes the integration of the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean.

Lopez Obrador’s statements came a few days after Joe Biden’s Administration announced the imposition of new sanctions against Cuban officials for alleged “abuses against demonstrators” in the protests that took place in some parts of the island on July 11.

SOT, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, President of Mexico (Spanish): “I believe that for their struggle in defence of the sovereignty of their country, the people of Cuba deserve the prize of dignity, and the island should be considered as the new Numancia, for its example of resistance, and I think that for the same reason it should be declared a World Heritage Site.”

SOT, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, President of Mexico (Spanish): “The policy of the last two centuries, characterised by invasions to put or remove rulers at the whim of the superpower, is already unacceptable. Let’s say goodbye to impositions, interference, sanctions, exclusions and blockades.”

SOT, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, President of Mexico (Spanish): “Let us start a relationship on our continent under the premise of George Washington, according to which, nations should not take advantage of the misfortune of other people. I am aware that this is a complex issue, which requires a new political and economic vision. The proposal is neither more nor less than to build something similar to the European Union, but attached to our history, our reality and our identities. In this spirit, the replacement of the OAS by a truly autonomous body should not be ruled out, not a lackey of anyone anymore, but a mediator at the request and acceptance of the parties in conflict in matters of human rights and democracy.”

SOT, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, President of Mexico (Spanish): “What is proposed here may seem like a utopia, however, it must be considered that without the horizon of ideals one cannot get anywhere, and that consequently it is worth to try it. Let’s keep Bolivar’s dream alive.”
