The specialist doctors that Cuba sent to Mexico are actually military, assured Javier Larrondo, president of Prisoners Defenders International, because the dictatorship of Miguel Díaz-Canel fears that the real doctors will try to defect to the United States to request asylum.
At a press conference from Mexico City, Larrondo explained that the 60 Cuban doctors who arrived in Nayarit last month are actually members of the Cuban military and pointed out that there is no conclusive evidence as to whether they really are medical specialists.
According to testimonies from dissident doctors, collected by Prisoners Defenders, the Cuban government does not send its real specialists for fear of losing them and instead chooses general practitioners, who are usually dedicated to primary care on the island.
He added that this new brigade is a cover to justify that the government of Mexico, under an agreement made by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, send economic resources to the Castro regime.
According to this association, in the last mission that arrived in Mexico to help in the care against the coronavirus pandemic, they were not specialists either, and the Cuban personnel actually only received an intensive three-day course on treatments against the virus, which became obsolete because they did not acquire the necessary knowledge to manage the technology of artificial respirators in Mexican hospitals.
Larrondo reiterated that the Cuban dictatorship chose to send personnel linked to the armed forces in order to prevent the true Caribbean doctors from defecting to the United States once in Mexico.
However, he pointed out that medical aid was the screen to provide resources to the Cuban government, because according to Larrondo, during the Covid-19 crisis the Mexican government paid $10,700 dollars a month for each doctor from the island, however, The Diaz-Canel regime gave only $600 dollars to each participant in the mission, which was delivered under strict conditions.
Beatriz Pagés pointed out that the covert presence of foreign military agents violates the sovereignty established by the Constitution and puts national security at risk.
Pagés considered that Cuban doctors in Mexico have a more political and military mission than a health one, and the true purpose could be the development of indoctrination tasks.
He pointed out that the purpose of López Obrador’s visit last May to Miguel Díaz-Canel was actually to seek the deployment of a model similar to the one that helped Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro maintain power in Venezuela.
Pagés said that the arrival of soldiers disguised as doctors debunks the official version that they were hired due to the lack of national specialists and, deep down, lays bare the authoritarian intention of ensuring victory in 2024.
He pointed out that these types of agents who joined the medical brigades in Venezuela helped the Chávez regime take political and military control since they were in charge of spying on members of the armed forces who did not agree with the regime.
Ricardo Pascoe, the former Mexican deputy and diplomat, highlighted that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador traveled to Cuba accompanied by his Secretaries of Defense and Navy, who must give an explanation about the agreements reached with the island’s regime.
Pascoe considered that the Mexican government is moving towards militarization and that the argument of national security is the battering ram.
