Nevertheless, when using for the first time the word blockade to demand – and this is new - that Washington end the siege against Cuba, the 15th Ibero-American Summit seems to have left behind the lethargy of empty gestures. Perhaps it is the urgency prompted by Washington's use of a policy so obviously criminal that it will not brook further delay, a policy that has been rejected 13 times by the United Nations General Assembly. Or perhaps it is also a certain fatigue - Latin American and European – in the face of interference from the United States.
