MIAMI, United States. – The renowned Cuban professor Gustavo Arcos Fernández-Britto denounced on Facebook the current situation on the Island and questioned the official discourse of the Government.
Arcos is currently a professor of Cuban Cinema and Audiovisual Appreciation at the Faculty of Audiovisual Communication Art (FAMCA).
In his publication, the professor stated that Cuba was “a socially, economically and morally fractured country.” “It does not matter the daily effort that each citizen makes, delivering all his energies in the space that he has to serve. There is no progress, no benefits, ”he assured.
In addition, Arcos highlighted the lack of progress in fundamental areas such as health, education, assistance and social security, noting that “at some point they were examples”, but now “they are barely sustained by the sacrifice of those who work there”. .
Likewise, he pointed out the inefficiency of the salary, the lack of control over prices and the absence of basic resources: “There is no money in the banks, there is no production, no medicines, no food, no housing, no transportation that works stably or with dignity “, lament.
The professor criticized the official discourse of the Government, affirming that “No Hay has become the saddest sign” of Cuban identity, although “the official discourse speaks of principles, values and independence.”
Arcos added that “Cuba was never more dependent than now” and questioned the legacy of the Cuban Revolution: “How can anyone say that this was the dream of so many martyrs and heroes who gave their lives for justice, ethics or the welfare of their children? What do those who defend the Revolution defend? Where is the peace, equity, respect, quality of life and justice right now, that one day she promised?” he wondered.
Finally, the professor denounced the harassment by the authorities towards those who criticize the model imposed by the Government and the Party, arguing that “citizens are not the cause of the problem.”
“Stop chasing or threatening them. [a los ciudadanos]. They are not the ones who make the laws, nor do they make the vital decisions of the nation,” he said. Finally, the professor concluded: “Little can be expected from a State if the first thing it abandons is the sense of Justice.”
