The Cuban dictatorship not only recognizes (for itself and for certain interlocutors) the existence of political prisoners on the island but also submits them to denigrant treatment.
Havana, Cuba. – José Daniel Ferrer García’s letter that Today it circulates in the networks and It is news in independent press media It is dated September 10 and refers to a sustained situation of blackmail and other pressures that date back to very previous dates, since when it becomes evident that there was, by the Cuban regime, not only the intention to shake off the too much annoying leader of the Patriotic Union of Cuba (UNPACU) but, and it is the most important thing, to use it as an instrument to “work” a political dialogue with the United States government.
It is essential to attend the dates because just a few days ago, that is, when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs processed and negotiated the exile process of the opponent – which as the unique could be consummated would be to recognize the condition of José Daniel Ferrer’s political prisoner – the Cuban vice chancellor Carlos Fernández de Cossío, in conversation with journalist Mehdi Hasannot only denied that there was such a category of convicted in Cuban prisons but tried to discredit Amnesty International’s work accusing her of lying in her reports.
With the revelations made from the prison of Mar Verde, where the old man is perceived modus operandi Of the dictatorship – which with nothing more to offer than what treasures in its dungeons, seeks to “negotiate” by another oxygen breath – not only reinforce our certainty about who the true liars are, but we have another proof that the dictatorship not only recognizes (for itself and for certain interlocutors such as the Vatican, the White House and until the European Union) The island but also submits them to denigrating treatment with total consciousness and impunity. To them and their relatives.
However, this cluster of evidence and certainties knows that it does not help us much. That this practice of Castroism is sustained in the hypocrisy with which the world (together with the same Cubans who do not mind living in oppression) observes the crimes and even admits them as “currency of change”, even knowing that, accepting political prisoners as bartering at the dialog Perpetuation of the dictatorship, always until the next “exchange of prisoners.”
José Daniel Ferrer is aware of that machinery, as well as the dark purposes of Castroism, and that is why he puts dignity ahead, despite being at a mortal crossroads. He together with his family. And despite the fact that, as a punishment for the public complaint, the Personal Salvation Plan that did not have the opportunity to choose, but threw in the face as another of the many torture to which it has been submitted can be frustrated.
Knowing the human nature of José Daniel Ferrer, his authentic vocation of fighter for freedom, he is intuited how torturing can be for him to accept that his executioners use it as a spokesman to force a political dialogue that would only serve to reinforce that repressive machinery to which he has opposed frontally for years.
But the despair of the Cuban regime, which is undoubtedly higher than that of other times, is too evident when this letter dated September 10 we connect it with other events (apparently alien) that have surrounded it, all focused on that need for dialog repression, there is a “will to dialogue.” Although “dialogue”, for the Cuban dictatorship, we already know that it does not mean “commitment”, but time to win, and fools to deceive.
In this sense, The death of the connoted American terrorist Joanne Chesimard On September 26 – announced precisely through a note from the Cuban Foreign Ministry – it has been too sudden as timely (too unbelievable) as it happened “miraculously” at a time when they could not reach New York looking for dialogue, selling as victims and swearing that they do not sponsor terrorism.
I do not know if it is because I am too predisposed with so many “coincidences” and so annoying with their continuous lies, but that “official note” smells uglier than the body in question. The truth is that, if this negotiation that they want so much, the return of the Chesimard will not be a subject to deal with.
Thus, connected and not by chance with the white flag that they wave with dissimulation, the proposal denounced by Ferrer appears precisely when the interviews offered to the American media – both that of Fernández de Cossío to Mehdi Hasan, such as Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla to the CNN -, they have saturated the atmosphere with an excess of calls to dialogue, but equal to the promise that they would support Venezuela case of a war conflict, but only on the sentimental plane.
Just up to there? We already know, from what happened with the Cuban mercenaries at the service of Moscow, that the word of the Cuban regime is not worth what they expect for it when they sell it as “truth.” Nor, judging by the obsession they demonstrate, it is the truth but the money to where they are willing to carry the conversation with the United States government, although from Boca outwards they boast of their loyalty to the “Palestinian cause” or of their desperate alliances with China and Russia, letters that will sacrifice just when someone with enough power to get them out of the quagmire where they are asked to see them.
What does not take into account the “neocastrists” of “continuity” is that those times of dialogue without compromises, and with only another package of political prisoners as the only currency, were left behind with Barack Obama; And they did not take advantage of the opportunity of those days to act with decency, when, even without the heavy burden of being honest, they could leave even with their pockets full, but now they only have the lie and the lost causes on their side, and they are desperate trying to make it go as a value.
José Daniel Ferrer knows that perhaps better than us, and that is why he uses the word “dignity” when someone pretends something as unworthy as becoming a dialogue tool in favor of the dictatorship.
