Caracas, Sep 1 (EFE).- Cuban exile community representatives will meet
in
Caracas in November to protest Cuban President Fidel Castro's
participation in
the upcoming seventh Iberoamerican Summit, a meeting organizer told EFE
Monday.
Cuban groups from the United States, Spain, Chile, Mexico, Puerto Rico
and
Costa Rica will attend the "Summit in Venezuela for Democracy in
Cuba"
meeting in Caracas November 1-2, said anti-Castro leader Salvador
Romaní.
Romaní explained that the meeting will produce a document that
will
be presented to the 21 leaders meeting November 7-9 on Margarita Island in
eastern Venezuela.
Anti-Castro representatives will insist that Castro's presence at the
November summit "is a joke" because the Cuban leader "makes
a
mockery of international law by signing agreements he himself won't
honor,"
said another organizer.
"Democratic ethics is the topic of this summit. It is disturbing
when
a country that has been under a dictatorship for 38 years and is the
oldest
tyranny in the world talks about democracy," said Romaní.
The anti-Castro community will propose that the heads of state
pressure
Castro to honor agreements upholding democracy that were signed by the
Cuban
leader at previous meetings. EFE
