Havana Cuba. –People have exploded on social networks -again- before a new chapter of police abuse, this time in the province of Ciego de Ávila, against a black man, presumably young, who apparently said something against the government that the gendarmes did not like. The video shows how one of them, without caring that there were other people present and overstepping his authority and bad blood, he cornered the citizen against a post and yelled at him, using rude language, that he had nothing to say about the government. “I’m a communist, what the fuck is he?”, he repeated, getting very close to the man, provoking him, because what the henchman really wanted was for that unfortunate man to retaliate, to say anything, or even move a finger, to end his life right there. same.
Embedded in his blue clothing, with a colleague at his side and the patrol behind, the henchman shouted in the face of his captive: “I am Fidel!”, And of course it is. That vermin is the most finished example of what the “top leader” inoculated the Cuban people. Fidel Castro’s passage through Cuba was violence in its purest form and in all its expressions; from persecution and intimidation, to public humiliation, jail, torture and wall.
The video is being watched by millions of people, and it is important that it go much faster, to shut up those who continue to affirm, without any basis, that there is no police abuse or racial discrimination in Cuba. The signs of indignation from the “friends of Cuba” have not yet appeared, who are scandalized by the behavior of the US police and, every time one of the many atrocities that occur here is published, they say, as if the Cubans cared , which in the United States is worse.
The policeman in the video is one of many who is not worth a penny without his uniform, like the other one who, at the beginning of the year, fell loudly, for fun, on a young peasant who did not even defend himself. His modus operandi it is humiliating, threatening, beating and, finally, putting on handcuffs. If they treated that unfortunate man from Ciego de Avila in the middle of the street, in front of others, it hurts to think what they would have done to him in jail.
That is communist Cuba, the indelible mark of totalitarianism. Anyone who says “I am Fidel” needs psychiatric care and close surveillance. Those people who are enthusiastic about the caudillo’s speeches, have his image tattooed and post his phrases as if it were a gospel, are the germ of a deadly disease.
“I am Fidel” shouts the policeman while, with the help of another, he abuses an unarmed man.
“I am Fidel” he repeats as he throws him to the ground and sits on his head.
There is no need to repeat that Fidel believes himself, the video shows him subduing another who cannot defend himself pic.twitter.com/mHBEYC2Unw— Claudia Padrón Cueto (@padroncueto) April 26, 2023
The saddest thing about the video, in addition to the flagrant violation of various human rights, is seeing a starving man in uniform mistreat a civilian who is also starving. How much moral misery, how much lack of humanity there is in those images.
They have invoked the stone of Santa Ifigenia so much that it is constantly resurrected in thugs like that, in the dithyrambs of El Necio, or in the pseudo-guerrilla paraphernalia of Ana Hurtado.
“Don’t talk or fuck what you don’t have to talk about!” The policeman yells at the man, as the Batistas used to do, because they are the same, and there can be no forgiveness for them either. For less than that, soldiers and policemen from the Batista era were sentenced to death in summary trials. Revolutionary terror fell on torturers, murderers, and men whose only crime was wearing the uniform of the old order alike. The accusation made by some “revolutionary” was enough to be prosecuted without evidence.
What the Cuban people have suffered and continue to suffer goes beyond forgiveness. It is absurd to pretend that there is an understanding between oppressed citizens and a dictatorship that supports and justifies events like these. Let those who walk through social networks asking for a new Zanjón, without US sanctions, but also without democracy or amnesty for political prisoners, take a good look at the video. “From the wolf a hair. That they at least free up the economy”, they say, almost always from the other shore.
Man thinks how he lives. For this reason, those who continue to simmer in the Antillean hell know that there can be no dialogue or forgiveness. Those who patent and incite hatred, like those who execute it on the backs of a defenseless people, have to pay. See those who defend communism in this Cuba, because misery and death without the right to protest is what they get, and what they deserve.
