Miguel Hidalgo Mayor Asks Mexico’s Foreign Ministry to Relocate Cuban, Venezuelan and Nicaraguan Embassies

Any relocation would require federal action under the Vienna Convention, underscoring the proposal's symbolic nature.

Overview

  • Mayor Mauricio Tabe said he will submit a formal letter urging the Foreign Ministry to move the three embassies out of the Mexico City borough.
  • He argues the governments of Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua repress dissent and abuse power, saying the borough should not host their representatives.
  • Tabe emphasizes the request targets authorities he considers undemocratic rather than migrant communities from those nations.
  • No response or relocation decision from the Foreign Ministry has been reported, and embassy locations are set through state-to-state agreements under international law.
  • Recent attention grew after the Cuban Embassy in Mexico held a tribute to 32 officers killed during a U.S. military action in Venezuela earlier this month.
