Embassy incident unchains migratory sentiment


HAVANA, March 1 (Juan Carlos Linares, Cuba-Verdad) - The recent incidents at the Mexican embassy in Havana stirred migratory feelings, especially among younger Cubans.

"That's all people are talking about this morning," said a clerk at the Arroyo Naranjo post office.

Groups of young people talked about their intentions of leaving the country. "I have everything ready, just in case we have a rerun of Mariel in 1980," yelled one man to his neighbor across a courtyard.

He was referring to the events of 1980, when what started as a similar incident at the Peruvian embassy led to a mass exodus of 125,000 Cubans through the port of Mariel.
