The so-called ALBA countries (the Spanish acronym for the so-called Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas), which includes Cuba, Venezuela, Honduras, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Dominica, and Ecuador, were able partly to outwit – and partly to “out-blackmail” – Canada, the United States, and the Latin American democracies in getting Cuba rehabilitated.
Los llamados países ALBA (el acrónimo en español para la llamada Alternativa Bolivariana para las Américas), que incluyen a Cuba, Venezuela, Honduras, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Dominica y Ecuador, pudieron en parte aventajar -y en parte &quot;chantajear&quot;- a Canadá, Estados Unidos y las democracias latinoamericanas para que se reincorporara a Cuba.
