Havana.- Last Monday I met the statements made by the eminent journalist Luis Cino To the colleague Camila Acosta (Both collaborators of Cubanet), which were published in the profile of Facebook of the medium. Referring to the current situation of The independent press In Cuba, the most important of what was declared by Cino, in my modest opinion, is the following: “If the independent media disappear, the false and liar narrative of the regime would be imposed, and the reality of what happens in Cuba would not be heard ”
He assists Don Luis – I think – the whole reason in the world when making that approach. It becomes clear that he does not come into the details of the current situation. According to this, it would seem that, at least for the moment, it would not be reasonable to expect that, for the media of the Independent Cuban press, there is additional support that citizens can give within the island. And record that we are talking about the press organs that provide the island’s captive population for truthful and objective information, fed up than our people are forced to listen to the official media.
In all this matter, the creation of the Government Efficiency Department in the United States does not cease to have some incidence. It is a new federal agency designed and conceived to cut expenses that leave taxes paid by US taxpayers. The idea is to make radical changes in the public spending of the great country, which, in turn, could lead to reducing the immense federal public debt.
It is appropriate that we ask ourselves what results it is reasonable to expect that, for my native Cuba, they derive from these new approaches and situations. In purity, I do not believe that, in the long term, there is some substantial change. The long -term end of superfluous expenses seems fair and necessary; The end of all help to the Independent Cuban press would be – I think – a purely passenger disorder.
But it is forced to recognize that, today, difficulties exist, and they are undeniable. The most striking reflection of that reality is – I think – the campaign initiated last day 7 in another press organ: “We need your help: support Diary of Cuba” The extreme attention that this medium lends to the subject is reflected in an objective event: when entering that page this Thursday, this joint told no less than four journalistic works directly consecrated to the issue of financing.
To that request he granted his support, on Monday 10, the prominent opponent leader José Daniel Ferrer García. The newly released awareness of consciousness claims, at this point, with the support of other prominent prodemocratic fighters: Félix Navarro, Berta Soler, Manuel Cuesta Morúa, Iván Hernández Carrillo, Ángel Moya and Juan Alberto de la Nuez.
No principle objection I have to do to those fighters, to the generality of which I have the honor of being able to consider my friends. If there is any nuance that I would consider pertinent to include is that all independent means need help today. I wonder: why circumscribe support for Diary of Cuba (DDC)! Why not also include, say, to this same CubanetDean of the independent press of our homeland!
In that context, this joint does not hesitate to adhere to the pronouncements made, among others, by colleagues Luis Cino and Camila Acosta. But, happily, this Thursday, we have known that the Ferrer combative has sent a video message as a sample of solidarity to Cubanet.
The brave Eastern leader: “Cubanet It has been one of those media that for years have been doing a very important work making Cubans known inside and outside the national territory everything is done in favor of freedom, democracy and human rights and giving it dissemination to the complaints of the serious violations of human rights that occur in our country. ”
Those words so worthy of gratitude are added to what was expressed days ago by the popular influencer Alexánder Otaola. Although the owner of the loose published in Diary of Cuba The case of this informative medium stands out (do not they say that “the defense is allowed”!), The text of the information, which reflects what is written by the outstanding youtuber, includes both: “Support Diary of Cuba and support Cubanet”
But, in my modest opinion, even what raised by the influencer (Although Marche on the right path) It seems limited to me too much! Why circumscribe the petition to those two press organs (no matter how important and prestigious both)? Why not include in that request for help to other informative media (based both and within the island), which also make their valuable contribution to the informative plurality for Cubans!
In that sense, I consider the general approaches that José Daniel also made: “The good Cuban independent press informs above all that happens in our homeland, which they do not do or do the media under the control of the tyrannical regime prevailing in our nation” . Bravo for the founder of the Aguerrida UNPACU (Patriotic Union of Cuba)!
In that context, I think it’s just The request for help Aimed at our exiled compatriots, who, despite residing for many years in developed and rich countries, do not forget their native Islite, sunk in misery by the counterproductive policies of Castro socialism.
