MIAMI, United States. — The political platform Cuba Siglo 21 analyzed the situation the island is going through under the control of the Castro regime, as well as the mass exodus of Cubans to the United States.
According to Cuban historian and philosopher Juan Antonio Blanco, one of the project’s directors, the collapse of the island’s governance system—commonly known as a regime—collapsed at the end of last year. One of its triggers was the energy crisis, which, in turn, further catalyzed the mass exodus.
The exodus is precisely one of the elements that mark the current Cuban reality. Blanco explained that, as could be expected, the island’s regime has taken its share of the departure of Cubans abroad, especially towards Nicaragua, which served as a springboard for Cubans to begin their route to the United States.
In a conference offered this Tuesday, the expert pointed out that, for the Cuban regime, the exodus not only ends up being a source of large profits from human trafficking, but also an escape route for people whom power could consider uncomfortable.
The specialists also called to analyze the issue of the Cuban rafters as a symptom of social weariness caused by the mismanagement of the communist dictatorship.
The economist Emilio Morales, another of the figures in charge of Cuban 21st centuryHe maintained that people like rafters, who are capable of risking their lives in order to leave Cuba, will continue to insist on reaching the US by sea “because they got tired of living in Cuba.”
“There are no opportunities. When a person makes the decision to put his life at risk, that gives us an idea of the hell that Cuba has become for Cubans”.
Both Juan Antonio Blanco and Emilio Morales addressed various questions related to the system of power in Cuba, as well as the particularities of the Castro regime, which they described as “a Cuban mafia state has tried to maintain the totalitarian system not only in the political aspect, but also also in the economic area.
