HAVANA, Cuba, Feb 1 (acn) El Salvador´s Foreign Ministry announced the scheduled transfer of over 7 thousand 700 Cubans stranded in Costa Rica, who pursue reaching US soil encouraged by Washington´s dry-feet, wet-feet policy and the benefits that the Cuban Adjustment Act offers only to Cuban nationals.
Following a meeting with representatives of other institutions, like Customs, the national police, the migration office and the international migration organization, the Salvadorian authorities announced two weekly flights on February 4, 11, 16, 18, 23 and 25 repeating the same proceeding that the one previously implemented in a pilot action on January 12 for the first 180 Cubans.
The plan establishes flying the Cubans from Costa Rica to El Salvador, and later transferred to Guatemala by bus so that they keep on their trip to Mexico, PL news agency reported on Saturday.
Salvadorian Foreign Minister Hugo Martinez has described as a double standard the US dry-feet, wet-feet policy and the Cuban Adjustment Act for granting special benefits to Cubans who reach US territory.
Martinez said that under the universal principles of human rights, equality, among others, it is crucially convenient that the destination country apples a single migration policy.
