Introduction to the Issue
The alliance between Mexico and Cuba has reportedly given rise to a method that bypasses the petroleum sector and the well-known “Cuban doctors.” Among Mexican diplomats, there is growing concern about the phenomenon of Cuban nationals changing their nationality.
The Case of Martha Susana Peón Sánchez
Journalist Dolia Estévez uncovered a case involving Martha Susana Peón Sánchez, born in Cuba but now serving as Mexico’s ambassador to Honduras under the alias “susi iruegas.” This case is not an exception but rather a confirmation of the rule.
Fraudulent Mexican Birth Certificates in Houston
In Houston, Texas, there have been reports of individuals born in Cuba but possessing Mexican birth certificates issued by Mexico’s Registry Civil offices.
A Mexican foreign ministry official shared an official document (CRI-01689.25) warning of multiple cases where individuals born in Cuba have Mexican birth certificates.
These certificates, accessible via SIDEA (System for Printing Certificates), contain a CURP (Unique Registry of Population) but lack any marginal notation about the birth registration or certificate number.
Consulado de Houston’s Investigation
Between January 15 and 21, the Houston Consulate detected five fraudulent cases. Three individuals have records in Aguascalientes, one in Nayarit, and another in Puebla.
Interviews with these individuals revealed they were born in Cuba but had no connection to Mexico.
Further investigation led the interviewees to admit that these certificates were obtained fraudulently in Tapachula, Chiapas, by an individual who arranges Mexican birth certificates for Cuban nationals to process paperwork at Mexican consulates.
Similar Cases in Other Mexican Embassies
The Houston Consulate is not alone in facing such cases. Similar incidents have also been reported at the Mexican Embassy in Costa Rica, as per the document.
Leadership and Responsibility
The Consul General in Houston, María Elena Orantes López, is a priísta rewarded by the AMLO/Sheinbaum regime with what seems like a magical lamp granting three wishes.
Mexico must evaluate the mass Cuban migration, a result of the dictatorship rather than any other reason, before the U.S. uses these cases as negotiation chips. Most importantly, the state must sanction fraudulent cases.
The Mexican Constitution does not permit Cuban-born Martha Susana Peón Sánchez to serve as Mexico’s ambassador.
Key Questions and Answers
- How many fraudulent birth certificates have been processed? The document does not provide an exact number, only stating there have been multiple cases detected.
