Attorney General Abel Rodríguez del Orbe said he ignores he has been replaced from his function to be designated ambassador in Cuba. "I have no opinion on that, what I recommend is that you do not appoint me, I know nothing about being an ambassador," he said in a press conference at his office in the Palacio de Justicia. Hoy newspaper journalist Manuel Jiménez had said yesterday in his column that he had heard from reputable sources that Rodríguez would be sent to Cuba as the country’s first ambassador there in over 30 years. "Those are my enemies that want me deported, they want me to be exiled, or perhaps sent to the cemetery. And then instead of sending me to Washington or to Paris, they want to send me to Havana," he said, all smiles. He said that all criminals are his enemies. He said he does not know anything about being an ambassador, who he described as a person who speaks to you for an hour and a half on a subject but doesn’t ever give you a yes or a no.
