MIAMI, United States- Several free Cubans in Canada confronted officials of the Havana regime this weekend, including the Cuban ambassador to that country, Héctor Igarza, and the president of the National Volleyball League, Ariel Sainz, in the semifinal match of the Pan American Cup of that sport held in Gatineau-Ottawa.
Yanel Raúl Nieves, a member of Canadian Cubans for a Democratic Cuba, broadcast live the meeting with the officials, whom he called traitors and questioned their presence in a volleyball game while the Cuban people do not have electricity or what to eat.
“Here we live in a country of freedom, we have economic freedom, (…) and every time we have to put on our pants and hit these people wherever they go,” Nieves said shortly after the game ended and on the way to face to the communists.
“They killed children, they sent them to die,” Nieves told Igarza and his companions, who remained immovable while the free Cubans shouted at them Homeland and Life, and questioned them about the crisis on the island.
“You sir, with your years you should feel ashamed. You do not represent the Cuban people. In Cuba the police would have sent me. Traitors! People in Cuba don’t have food, people in Cuba don’t have electricity, people in Cuba go hungry, children die in hospitals, and what are you doing? Sitting here. Get to work! Nieves yelled at them.
While the regime officials remained without replying to the questions, the free Cubans shouted in the amphitheater where the game took place that “people are dying in Cuba and you come to watch a game. Down with Fidel Castro! Down with Raul Castro! Down with the dictatorship! Partners in crime!”
Shortly after the exchange, the security of the amphitheater asked those present to leave the place, and before the communists fled, the Cubans warned them that they would face scenarios like this when the people of Cuba woke up.
“This is what is going to happen tomorrow in Cuba, this is what is going to happen to the free people, who are imprisoned. They are going to repudiate them wherever they go, ”he sentenced.
