México frente a la expulsión de Cuba de la OEA
Mexico’s position on the expulsion of Cuba from the OAS

Summary/Abstract: Since the meeting at Punta del Este in 1962, in which Mexico voted against the expulsion of Cuba from OAS, both countries maintained a relationship which was exceptional in a double sense: Mexico did not break with Cuba and Cuba did not intervene in Mexico. The exceptional character of their relationship had an important consequence for both of them: Mexicans never suffered the trauma of guerilla warfare – and its corollary: repressive war – and Cubans were never totally isolated from Latin America. It also had, of course, a significant effect on their relationship with the United States: both countries, through their friendship, reaffirmed their nationalism against the hegemonic power in North America. The article recounts and analyzes the details of the meeting at Punta del Este.
