URUGUAY DOES NOT WANT RELATIONS WITH CUBA. Washington. Uruguay reiterated its hard line of conduct towards the Cuban regime, because “it has not shown a substantial rectification” in its policy. “The Uruguayan government considers that the conditions that justify the lifting of the sanctions imposed on Cuba at the IX consultation meeting in 1964 are not in place,” Uruguay explains in a note delivered to the embassies of countries on the continent here and in that country. The note, signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Uruguay, Juan Blanco, explains that it has evidence of acts of intervention by Cuba in Uruguay throughout the last years. The explanation of Uruguay’s political position towards Cuba means a radical change in the interpretation given to statements made by Blanco on the 29th in Montevideo, when he said that the possibility of resuming relations with Cuba was under study. Blanco’s statements were made then after a meeting of the National Security Council, formed by the highest civil and military authorities of the nation. However, the note clarifies that “Uruguay will participate in the analysis and discussion of the issue in a spirit of continental solidarity, despite the discrepancies.”

CARPIZO REJECTS MARIO RUIZ’S STATEMENT. Former Secretary of the Interior, Jorge Carpizo, flatly denied the accusations and accusations of being a “traitor” made against him by Deputy Attorney General Mario Ruiz Massieu in his posthumous letter. “I undoubtedly deny it, but things in life must also be taken with great serenity, as I am doing. If the autopsy confirms that he took his own life, then it explains the emotional state that a person who made that decision may be in,” said the former Secretary of the Interior.
