Comes y te vas, Mexican President (FOX) and Cuban President (Castro) --- Comes y te vas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoaN2a9DkcY

The video shows when President Castro was denied participation in a meeting convened by the Mexican President Vicente Fox.<br /> The incident is known as: “Comes y te vas” (you eat and leave). In brief, this episode probably created one of the most important crisis between Mexico and Cuba. During a phone call made by Vicente Fox -the President of Mexico at that time- to Fidel Castro, Fox asked Castro not to criticize the United States and to leave just after lunch, before the US president’s arrival. This happened in the context of the U.N. Development Summit Meeting that took place in Monterrey, Mexico, in 2002.<br /> Castro did as he was told but, before leaving Mexico, when he was asked why he was leaving the country, he publicly explained the incident. The Mexican President denied the situation, but the tape of the phone call was released showing that what President Castro said was true
