a week ago, I participated in an event developed by the Institute for Political Liberty in the area of \u200b\u200btraining: Liberty University. Blessed are those who could somehow understand the sad reality Cuban brothers living.
always heard of many critics of the Cuban reality, but it was almost unbelievable what they could say, or the atrocities that were talked about. I always pursued the idea that someone would be on the backs of those people to input information. And as is custom environments of television reporting, lent it to create some doubt about the information, which eventually fell to the American State. as one of the promoters or managers of such advertising.
Only today, after many years of doubt, solve the truth in conversations with friends who were there. Previously I told them to write, because I wanted details. But this time, after paying attention to what was said is that I dare to write some lines for youth to know and do not live the myth of Don Fidel Castro.
was for me when I commented that the average salary for a Cuban is approximately $ 12 and a doctor $ 25 to $ 30. That attending a hotel earned more than any professional in Cuba, because of tips that tourists give. Women, beautiful Cuban young men and women were capable of prostitution by a soap, a toothbrush, trousers or polo. That on arriving in Havana, many children and adults were coming to ask for a gift brought from abroad. That Cubans are not free to read the book it wants, because they are banned books that have a different position to the regime. That Cubans can not eat meat, and if they find something in the fridge until they are able to take the piece of meat with all refrigerator. And this, because cows provehen fresh milk for children, that only the government provides up to 7 years old, then we can not drink milk. Monthly basket to which the state assigns them only lasts 10 days, and the question is: how have they survived?. That of family remittances sent from other countries only charge 80% because 20% stays with the state. They can not do the music they want, ie: Rock and derivatives because they do not like the regime. What if you have a parcel of land and do produce something, you say tomato, carrot or any product cultivated, you have to sell to the State, ofcourse as a state monopoly that imposes on you the price. If you want to sell your home, you must first sell the state equally, imponiéndote the price. That person who hires staff for joint ventures where the state owns 51% of the shares and 49% private, is the state. Imponiéndote ofcourse the price of your work. That people somehow live better in Cuba are those families who have relatives abroad. Because somehow managed to escape the island.
It is certainly sad to know that reality, The big question is how Cubans have survived this harsh reality. The Cubans have learned to survive on the black market in the informal market where food traffic to survive, because they do not reach the basket assigned to them by state monthly. In this black market comes the need for trade goods and services because the state does not cover the need of the population. Producers who have their land and produce some good, have to lie to the Cuban state by inventing a production level that we are the exact, so that what little they have left over, have a better price on the black market, to bring an added bonus for the home.
The Cuban government keeps its people in capsizing, has an entire country of 12 million people in terror.
curious thing about all this is that there is the opportunity to show solidarity with the Cuban people, perhaps with the little we can do as young people go to stand up to the Cuban enbajada to ask for freedom for Cuba, calling for democracy, the replacement of their violated rights such as freedom of speech and of life itself. Sad was my grief when I saw a group of young people as we had gone to the Cuban enbajada here in Peru, to demonstrate against the liberation of Cuba that we sustentabamos pacifist with candles, a reflection of the light you need heman our Cuban people.
were young people aged 18 to 30 years old with some old macri shouting loudly: "Youth is ever conscious servant," who does not jump is a worm "," justice , Juticí and equity "," their lives are worth a few packages, "as they have been paid," "Fidel, Fidel, Fidel, you have fidel, imperialism could not with him", "The selling will not, traitors not pass away "" It's a Yankee who does not jump, "" Long live the Cuban revolution, viva Fidel Castro, Che lives, "" Lock Down, down, "" knife, spoon, long live Che Guevara "," Down Yankee imperialism, "" These are the pitucos, who are with imperialism. "
were approximately thirty to forty young people shouting out loud phrases above. never paid me to go the peaceful demonstration and not from a family of aristocratic lineage or capitalist would be my answer. not defending the capitalists or large enterprise that is often confused with these protests, defending freedom, freedom for the Cuban men and women who have to endure a tyrannical regime, an oppressive regime, the regime of Fidel and Raul that eat away day by day the man who wants to progress, the man who wants to improve their living conditions, the man who wants a home, improve it, have the meal you crave. That night we were out in defense of freedom.
Finally I realized that our democracy is in danger, when we have some young people who believe in socialist systems, which must necessarily be accompanied by dictatorships. Our people of Peru and Latin America must know the importance of living in freedom and democracy.
