15 of 93 Cuban Carnival Marchers Defect in Mexico

Writer's picture: OurStudioOurStudio

Fifteen members of Cuba's "Guaracheros de Regla" troupe who participated in carnival festivities in the Mexican city of Veracruz, left their hotel and didn't catch their return flight to Cuba with the rest of the cultural delegation, reported DPA news.

Many islanders take advantage of the proximity of Mexico to the United States to abandon official sports, cultural or other delegations, since if they enter the US overland, they — under an old Cold War policy — are automatically granted the right of residence in that country, although it's not yet known if this is one of those cases.
