Since last Monday 25 Cuban authorities have not reported anything new about the attack perpetrated by a foreigner with his car.
Havana, Cuba.- A week ago, last Monday, August 25, which at the edge of two thirty in the morning, A foreign citizen resident in the country, to the helm of a car, ran over different places in the municipalities of Havana Vieja and Centro Habana, to a total of nine people. Among these, a woman who lost her life.
The preceding data are consigned in the SCIRE OFFICIAL NOTE which issued the Ministry of Interior in this regard. Of course, this, mentioning that the facts took place “in different places”, implicitly authorizes us to consider that we are not talking about an accidental event, not of an unwanted result by its author. On the contrary, the only reasonable thing is to assume that it is an intentional attack perpetrated against almost a dozen compatriots of ours.
The published in the aforementioned notic is also what, a week ago, the so -called “mass media” at the service of the Castrocommunist regime reported. But it cannot be said that what has been published by the independent press has been much more. Faithful to their informative vocation, the latter media (such as this same digital newspaper, without going any further) did everything possible to obtain additional information and make it available to the public; And they have done so with the little they have been able to obtain on the scandalous case.
On the basis of what was declared by some witnesses that could be located, Cubanetfor example, it could clarify that the car used was a red Audi. He also specified aspects of the facts: “The vehicle would have entered the opposite direction on Reina Street and descended to Galiano.” Finally, it was specified that among the injured “there are minors”, as well as “a man who circulated on his bicitaxi.” However, “this medium has not been able to confirm the nationality of the perpetrator.”
Faithful to their inveterate custom, the authorities affirmed in their brief official notic that it was worked “to clarify the circumstances of this unfortunate fact.” They also assured that the Ministry of Interior would subsequently expand preliminary information. However, in the week nothing new have reported in this regard, and this despite the fact that from the first moments they managed to stop the author of the facts and keep it “under investigative process.”
It must be said that, worldwide, unfortunately, the events of this nature have not been rare in recent times. For example, France 24invoking publications of the analysis platform The conversationaffirms that this “shows that attacks with vehicles against crowds are occurring more frequently.”
The Gallic medium illustrates its statement: “The scene in each case seems traced: a person, guided for different reasons such as political fanaticism, mental illness or emotional crisis, accelerates his vehicle and is zigzagging in order to kill as many people as possible.” And, reinvocating a The conversationpoints out: “The period in which these cases were most presented was in 2017 and 2018. Then there was a brief decrease, and the rebound came after 2022”.
For its part, in the German environment DW (Deutsche Welle), Colega Matthew Ward Agius hosts the thesis of qualifying these attacks with vehicles such as “imitative” events. ” Specifically referring to cars, the Teuton informant points out: “Although they are not common as a weapon, in recent years they have been used more and more frequently to kill or mutilate people.”
Agius collects the testimony of the Cultural Studies expert Vincent Miller; This, referring to analogous situations observed in another country that resembles Cuba for the firm totalitarian vocation of its regime – communist China – warns: “People who commit these attacks usually feel quite aggravated, have a feeling of injustice and anger.” And he points out: “Often these are improvised attacks or organized in a hurry.”
I clarify that I am forced to resort to these materials published abroad due to deafening silence that, on the rugged matter, have kept those presented as “informative means” of the Castrocommunist regime. In the week decursed since the occurrence of the events, the only thing they have published in this regard is the tiny “official note” of the Minint.
This circumstance, by itself, would be enough to discuss these mass media, revealing them as what really are: agitation and propaganda ramplona instruments. Because we are talking about enshrined means to exalt the embarrassing prevailing regime, justify all their actions and messy, and disqualify (by using the worst qualifiers) who is faced in front of them.
In a normal country, in a country in which national public opinion is simply respected, that deliberate attack against helpless pedestrians of course would have become, in its own right, the main informative issue of the week. It would not be conceived that it was not; Any newspaper that did not dedicate all the space necessary to cover that news would be totally discharged as such.
But we already know that, to our misfortune, little Cuba is not a normal country. Nor do we ignore that the misgovernment we suffer will be able to experiment towards its subjects various feelings (endurance, contempt, perhaps even a little pity); But never respect.
That is why, when it comes to the information that facilitates the flock that they call “our people”, they publish only what they consider necessary, and this only at the time they estimate appropriate. It is precisely what has happened with the an attack that, using a car, perpetrated a foreigner against nine Cubans.
But it is clear that this derogatory tonic cannot be that of the independent press in general, or that of this digital newspaper or this particular author. Therefore, although we do not have possibilities to obtain new first -hand information about crime or on those involved in it, we do express our determined rejection that the attack falls into oblivion. Thing that, as everything seems to indicate (you go to know why twisted reasons) is what, at least for the moment, the Castrocommunist authorities seem to be desired.
