Havana Cuba. – At the end of one of the worst years that Cuba has suffered, on the second day of the X ordinary period of the National Assembly of Popular Power (ANPP), where issues will be discussed and decisions will be made without the direct criteria of Cuban citizens. , Raúl Castro has reappeared to the applause of those who unanimously raise their hands to endorse the ruinous continuity that promises a chaotic 2023, despite the predictions of the comedian, sorry, ruler, Miguel Diaz-Canel.
The old dictator, at 91, is retired from political life. He does not hold any position that warrants his presence at Parliament meetings, nor does he have relevant information to provide; but once again, as last May, he lets himself be seen by the deputies. The last symbol of the failed Revolution, and of the family that has governed the Island based on repression, hunger and nepotism, believes that his presence in the conclaves where the future of the country is debated can still function as a reminder that it is necessary to remain anchored to Stalinism.
The heirs of castrismHowever, they have other plans. Everyone longs to live like a millionaire without having to hide like their parents and grandparents did; but without renouncing to use the semantic load of the “Cuban Revolution” for their own purposes, or a strong repressive display when circumstances so require.
Raul Castro is a bluff so that that part of the population that still believes that the “historical” ones are good for something, remains under the hypnotic influence of the process, in a state of living dead waiting for the slightest stimulus, be it a package of chicken, three pounds rice extras, a lean rack of whatever, or a bottle of rum.
While the Revolution limps to the beat of the younger brother of the leaderthe National Assembly is ready to approve, among others, a “Law of Expropriation for reasons of public utility or social interest”, by virtue of which they will be able to deprive citizens of their assets that are uncomfortable for the regime, or foreign investors who, upon arrival the case ―and it always comes―, they are reluctant to allow themselves to be extorted in the name of socialism.
