Havana/He offer from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Cooperating with the United States is “one more move” by the Cuban regime. This is the opinion of the opponent José Daniel Ferrer, who maintains that the chancellor is seeking to buy time and see if the Republican party loses the November midterm elections.
A defeat, Ferrer specifies in a video uploaded to their social networkswould lead to the formation of a Congress hostile to Donald Trump and Marco Rubio that could make it difficult for them to “show solidarity with the Cuban people and express their opposition to tyranny.”
With the discourse of “strengthening regional and international security” and “even love with the US Administration,” what the regime intends, Ferrer emphasizes, is to “reach the end of Trump’s mandate” and wait to see if the next government, whether Republican or Democrat, “does not maintain the same commitment to the freedom and democracy of Cuba.”
The leader of the Patriotic Union of Cuba (Unpacu) points out that “until they release all the political prisoners, until they put an end to the repression, until they respect the basic rights of the Cuban people, nothing that (the regime) does can be credible.”
For this reason, he called to “join efforts, truly, with sincerity, without lies, without hypocrisy, to overthrow tyranny.”

Ferrer, who arrived in Miami on October 13 in forced exile with his family, says that “you cannot listen” to a regime that claims to condemn terrorism and money laundering and continues to practice “the worst terrorism,” that which is exercised “against the Cuban people, the people of our Homeland, with humble Cubans, with workers, against opponents and political prisoners.”
The opponent maintains that this repression is the same one that has just been exercised against the United States charge d’affaires in Cuba, Mike Hammer, “with old-fashioned acts of repudiationshouting, offenses of all kinds. That is aggressive and uncivilized behavior.” Ferrer asks, visibly annoyed, “what understanding, what dialogue, what thing and cooperation they are talking about.”
Furthermore, the leader of Unpacu speaks that there is no specific commitment regarding human rights. “They keep talking and saying what they are willing to do, but they never talk about being willing to respect the rights and freedoms of the Cuban people,” he denounces.
Meanwhile, the United States, Ferrer points out, “has a clear commitment to the people of Cuba. That the Island has to be free, that communism must end.” Furthermore, he affirms that the Trump Administration and Rubio know that the regime is “liars” and “phonies.” “They commit, offer and say, but they never comply,” says the opponent, who adds that the Government of Cuba “continues to be an enemy of the security of the United States, of freedom and democracy, peace and prosperity on the American continent.”
