Mexico highlights Díaz-Canel's praise for Amaury and greetings to AMLO

Mexico City, July 26 (RHC)-- Mexican daily La Jornada highlights Tuesday the message from Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel, for the presence of singer-songwriter Amaury Perez at the morning press briefing of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.

In his message on the social network Twitter, Díaz-Canel wrote: "How proud to hear our brother Amaury today with dear President Andrés Manuel López Obrador in his Mañanera. "No lo van a impedir" is an accurate song for this July 26. As Amaury sang it, "a pesar del otoño - Patria o Muerte- ¡creceremos!".

This morning press conference at the National Palace went out of its traditional format and surprised journalists and regulars to what the president calls "morning round-table dialogue" and people call "Amlo's mornings", when he announced the "live" performance of Amaury:

"We are going to have Amaury Perez as our guest. He is a composer, a singer from our brother people of Cuba, we are going to dedicate a tribute to the Cubans today, July 26, in honor of Martí's people.

Amaury opened with the song "No lo van a impedir" which, precisely, López Obrador had screened a few days before in one of his mornings, something he often does.

Then he continued with "Plegaria a la Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre", with music by José María Vitier and lyrics by his wife Silvia Rodríguez Romero, at the request of the president.

La Jornada highlights elsewhere that in that context of the National Rebellion Day of the Cuban people, López Obrador presented on the stage of the conference a picture of José Martí that can be seen in the corridors of the National Palace and had his picture taken next to the National Hero of Cuba.

Martí developed in Mexico a very important part of his political and literary work before, like Fidel Castro with the Granma expeditionaries, he left to prove that he was already "every day in danger of giving my life for my country, and for my duty..." as he wrote to his Mexican friend Manuel Mercado.

The Cuban ambassador to Mexico, Marcos Rodríguez Costa, thanked on social networks the greeting to the Cuban people sent by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador in his morning conference this Tuesday.
