• Protests Spain demands in Cuba "a peaceful climate"

The Popular Party believes that the Government of

Pedro Sánchez

is "pardoning" the Cuban dictatorship by not expressly condemning the repression of protests against the lack of freedom and democracy in the Caribbean country. And he believes that he is not doing so due to pressure from his coalition partner, United We Can. The statement from the Foreign Ministry seems "equidistant" to the main opposition party, since it

"does not condemn the repression or support the demand for freedom of the Cuban people

.

"

In the opinion of the 'number two' of the PP,

Teodoro García Egea

, "the Government is not condemning the repression of the Cuban dictatorship" and "the silence of Sánchez is pardoning the dictatorships of Cuba and Venezuela, and is exercising the diplomacy of the unpunished ".

"Although the foreign minister is from the PSOE, it

is clear that foreign policy is the Podemos brand

," García Egea has judged at a ceremony in Aranda de Duero.

"We ask you to immediately condemn the Cuban regime and request the release of a compatriot like the ABC correspondent," he said, referring to journalist

Camila Acosta

, detained after reporting on the protests.

García Egea has pointed out that the lack of freedom of expression gives a good account of the repression of the Cuban regime:

"The first thing they have done is to prevent information about what is happening there

,

" he

lamented. The PP spokesperson in Congress,

Cuca Gamarra

, added that "the Government has the obligation and responsibility to position itself and lead the united and forceful response that must exist from the EU" so that "Cuba achieves democracy that does not have". "The one who has to speak and is still silent is Sánchez and

there are secretaries of state who in recent hours have positioned themselves alongside the Cuban regime

and are not supporting the people who are taking to the streets to demonstrate,"the Riojan deputy has lamented.

VOX DEMANDS A PUBLIC CONDEMNATION

For its part, Vox wants the Government to pronounce itself on the latest events in Cuba, citizen demonstrations and acts of repression.

Thus, the Vox Parliamentary Group has registered a Proposition not of law in which it urges the Government to make

"a public and resounding denunciation of the repression of peaceful demonstrations

, the limitation of freedom of expression and the violation of human rights in Cuba".

In his brief presented by his parliamentary spokesman,

Iván Espinosa de los Monteros

, he also calls for "the implementation of the diplomatic efforts necessary to avoid the repression of the Cuban people and the violation of human rights by the Government of the island." .

Finally, it

defends "the implementation of the diplomatic actions necessary for the release of journalists detained

in the exercise of their professional activity, especially of

Acosta, inasmuch as his detention represents a serious attack on freedom of expression and human rights. "

Speaking in Congress, Espinosa de Los Monteros calls for the leadership of Spain to support Cubans "who are fighting for freedom."

In addition to the

implementation of an armored humanitarian corridor

of the regime to help those who have taken to the streets.

"From here, Congress, we send a message of encouragement and support to the entire Cuban people.

They have us by their side

. We denounce the wave of terror and blood. 20 journalists have been arrested. We demand their immediate freedom and for all Cubans. who are still incarcerated as political prisoners, "says Espinosa de los Monteros.

Vox urges the Government to pressure the Castro regime to dissolve itself and call free elections.

And he qualifies as "lukewarm" the note from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Free Cuba"

For his part, the head of Genoa's international policies,

Pablo Hispán

, tweeted that "the Foreign Minister,

José Manuel Albares

, opens with an equidistant statement that does not condemn the repression or support the demand for freedom of the Cuban people . Bad start". "Free Cuba", he added.

The

José María Aznar

foundation

, Faes, has also prepared an analysis to demand "freedom" in the Caribbean country.

"The complicity on the part of the international left, from

López Obrador and Alberto Fernández

, to Podemos in Spain,

causes embarrassment and even indignation

," writes

Orestes R. Betancourt Ponce de León

, a Cuban specialist in international development who signed the text.

"But we Cubans have never counted on them. Now more than ever Cuba needs its diaspora and free countries. We need a firm and unequivocal denunciation, pressure on the dictatorship and support for the brave who within the island they risk everything. Cuba today shouts Freedom and there is no other way, "he concludes.
