Miguel Hidalgo Mayor Seeks Relocation of Cuban, Venezuelan and Nicaraguan Embassies

The request carries little immediate effect because embassy locations fall under federal and bilateral authority.

Overview

  • Mauricio Tabe said he asked Mexico’s Foreign Ministry to evaluate moving the embassies of Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua outside the borough.
  • He announced the appeal in a social media video and said he will send a formal written request to the foreign minister.
  • Tabe described those governments as oppressive and “criminal” and stressed that his stance is not aimed at migrant communities.
  • There was no immediate response from the SRE, and a near‑term move appears unlikely given constraints under the Vienna Convention.
  • The push reflects PAN opposition messaging in Mexico City, drew online criticism calling it a “barbarie,” and follows attention to a Cuban embassy tribute to officers killed in Venezuela this month.
