The news that broke yesterday where Castro confirms the complot against AMLO in 2004 gets full front-page treatment in El Universal today - indeed, it is the main story, as well as in La Jornada.
The foreign relations secretariat rather vehemently rejects Castro's claims, and uses the occasion to blast Cuba for its lack of democracy - that is, to try to distract from an issue that is, when all is said and done, still quite explosive.
The relations between Cuba and Mexico are hardly the greatest -though far from as terrible as they were under Fox' government - and this issue is only likely to worsen them.
A good summary from La Jornada on recent history of Cuban-Mexican relations here
Mexico City Chief of Government Marcelo Ebrard, for his part, noted that Castro's declarations confirm the 2004 conspiracy.
