Media Reaction: Western Hemisphere: Summit of Americas; Cuba,

regional and global influence; Sao Paulo
Friday, April 17th
Title - Summit of the Americas
Editorial in liberal Folha de S. Paulo (4-17) states: "....President
Obama should take the opportunity and eliminate this hypocritical
47-year trade restriction, which only increases the cohesion of the
regime, while it punishes the Cuban population....For the agenda [of
the Hemisphere] to advance with a greater speed, the U.S. should end
for good this contentiousness with Cuba - which does not imply,
evidently, [that the U.S.] stop condemning the systematic human
right violations sponsored by the Cuban dictatorship."
Title - A tournament of obvious things
Op-ed in liberal Folha de S. Paulo (4-17) by columnist Clovis Rossi
states: "....The problem with the 5th Summit of Americas...is the
monotony inside its 23 pages and the 97 paragraphs of the final
declaration.....Almost all the text could be replaced by
the....words [we will accomplish our duties]. Even better would be
if they really accomplished their duty instead of promising to do
it."
Title - When one does not want...[two does not fight]
Op-ed in liberal Folha de S. Paulo (4-17) by columnist Eliane
Catanhede notes: "The ideal would be the end of the embargo, but the
possible is that Barack Obama announces at the Summit of the
Americas....the beginning of an open, public and official dialogue
with Cuba, nominating an advisor and/or mediator to the island."
