Any reason is good, of course, to discredit Cuba and its revolutionary process by the usual suspects: United States, European Union, major circuits of the international press, the right as "progressive."
is not the first time, of course, that we are in this situation, but in this case, the pretext used openly exposes the cynicism and hypocrisy of the various protagonists in this campaign so arrogant as inconsistent. With the usual, again not new, objective: stop the process of transition to socialism and to restore a neo-colonial transition to capitalism in Cuba striking at the heart of the new progressive course in Latin America and the prospects in the construction of socialism in the XXI century.
supporting the campaign against Cuba the same players that have effectively legitimized the coup in Honduras or have expanded their military presence in Colombia's fascist Uribe to threaten Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia and Lula of Brazil itself. The same people who tried to colonize Haiti under the pretext of the earthquake or that continue to decimate the civilian population in Afghanistan.
The occasion this time was the death of an inmate in prison for common crimes turned into a political dissident thanks to international media campaign.
The death of a person, a fortiori if it is in state custody, is something that hurts us and it's the feeling we have in this case. What you can do is fold the whole thing for sinister political interests as, unfortunately, is happening.
Orlando Zapata Tamayo was in prison for common crimes, in a hunger strike since December 18, 2009, edited by Cuban doctors in health facilities in the first place of detention and, subsequently, Camaguey and Havana, died as a result of pneumonia which occurred. Diagnosed and treated, but unfortunately in vain.
is not dead or beaten up as Cucchi Aldrovandi, was not as tied up and tortured at Abu Ghraib, was not hooded, drugged and as tortured at Guantanamo or Bagram, hells that have to do with Cuba, but not with the new democracy the U.S. post September 11, 2001, has not disappeared on one of the secret CIA flights or killed in some countries of the world by secret service agents Cubans with documents and falsified or stolen passports.
Many people in these difficult days, drew all of this, as it should be: the instrumentality must respond with arguments and facts, despite the disparity in the media field.
Raul Castro, President of the Council of State and Ministers in Havana, said in his statement of 24 February that the terrorist policy of the United States by the victory of the revolution has cost Cuba over 5,000 dead and wounded. He added, "Here, in half a century, we have not killed anyone, here was not tortured anyone and here there has been no extrajudicial execution. Well, here in Cuba, has been practiced torture, but the naval base in Guantanamo, not in the territory governed by the Revolution. " How we should not forget the 5 Cuban patriots imprisoned in the U.S. illegally, under very questionable at best. Almost certainly worse than it had been the case for Zapata Tamayo.
This does not mean, in the historic budget as drawing up and seeking a future, that there is a problem to solve, a problem that concerns alle relazioni tra democrazia e socialismo. Oltre a prendere le distanze dal punto di vista storico rispetto alle forme autoritarie di socialismo, con le quali Cuba – per correttezza di analisi – ha sempre avuto poco a che vedere, la prospettiva della trasformazione rivoluzionaria della società può tornare ad avere una sua attrattività solamente se essa coniuga l’estensione dei diritti sociali con l’estensione delle libertà politiche e dei diritti civili. Anche su questo terreno, e non solamente sullo sviluppo economico, il socialismo per affermarsi dovrà dimostrare la propria superiorità per evitare di ripetere gli errori del passato.
