Cuba The outbreak in Cuba makes the Government allow travelers to import medicine and food
The brutal repression launched by the Cuban government after the national outbreak of 11-J, which continued yesterday, and the systematic violation of human rights in a country where impunity is a state policy have not provoked the rejection of the regional left.
Quite the contrary, despite recent announcements of speedy trials and sentences of up to 20 years against the detained protesters.
"The Puebla Group expresses its support for the Government of President (Miguel) Díaz-Canel
with the complete certainty that he will know how to handle the recent social situation with prudence and diligence," reads the statement from the group of leaders of the populist and regional left. , among which are the Spanish
José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and Baltasar Garzón.
At the head of the conglomerate of leftist leaders is the Argentine president,
Alberto Fernández
, who avoided criticizing Castroism by assuring that he was unaware of what is happening on the island, despite the 62-year revolution.
The Bolivian government, on the other hand, stood up directly to make it clear that Cuba continues to be a political benchmark.
In Mexico,
Andrés Manuel López Obrador
reiterated his support for the Government and demanded the end of the blockade.
The virtual president of Peru,
Pedro Castillo
, was instructed by his Peru Libre party leader, the communist
Vladimir Cerrón
, to issue a statement that blames the US embargo for the situation, according to the strategic design deployed in Havana for his allies.
Former Brazilian President
Lula da Silva
even added a phrase of his own making:
"If Cuba didn't have a blockade, it could be the Netherlands
.
"
Despite the forcefulness, the ranking of nonsense is headed once again by Venezuela, where
Diosdado Cabello
, number two of Chavismo, assured that the protest was not such, but the manipulated celebrations of the Copa América and the Eurocopa.
"Certainly the majority of the left in the region promote the impunity of the regime or prefer to remain silent. They maintain their support because they have forged an alliance with Havana, not only ideological but also solidarity in international forums. They are also united by aversion to politics. Instead of repression, they
prefer to emphasize the commercial and economic restrictions
that weigh on the island due to the undemocratic behavior of the regime ", highlights the internationalist
Mariano de Alba.
The exceptions, so far, are counted, such as the Socialist Party of Chile or the Broad Front of Uruguay, which at least reiterated its support for the right to demonstrate.
Against these, the alliance with Castroism is displayed without shame.
Cuban Foreign Minister
Bruno Rodríguez
led on Thursday a virtual meeting with several of the most hooligant leaders of the Cuban dictatorship, with former Bolivian President
Evo Morales
and former Brazilian
President Dilma Rousseff
at the helm, with the aim of "discussing the operation media against Cuba ".
The persecution of independent Cuban journalists, managers of this supposed operation, continued yesterday, although the good news is that the journalist from Cubanet
Camila Acosta
, also a correspondent for ABC, was released by the government.
All these Latin American leaders turned Havana into the Mecca of the left during the last years of
Fidel Castro's
life
, whom they came to visit to pay their respects and hear first-hand his predictions about the end of the world.
In the Brotherhood Group, as defined by the Cuban government, former Paraguayan president
Fernando Lugo
and Colombian
Ernesto Samper
also showed their support
, as well as former foreign ministers such as
Diego Pary and Celso Amorín
.
All of them nodded to the regrets of the foreign minister, who tried to explain the supposed plot orchestrated from Washington against his government.
Despite the accusations,
Joe Biden
reiterated his views on the Castro system ("Cuba is a failed state that represses its citizens"), in addition to offering help with vaccines, rejected yesterday by Díaz-Canel.
