HAVANA, Cuba.- In one of its last appearances Michel Torres Corona, fashionable spokesman for Castroism, once again dared to offend public intelligence. Without a trace of modesty, he described the concentration of students that took place in Trillo Park on November 30, 2020 as a “spontaneous act”, something that not even the tracatán himself, the yucca fool or the idiot from the hill would believe, if they would have listened.
The unhappy spokesman is right about something. Tángana comes from uproar, scandal, deceit, fraud, violent discussion about a matter. Because coincidentally the so “spontaneous show” was a response to the meeting of young people before the Ministry of Culture that took place three days before, on November 27 (27N); a political challenge that blocked the communist apparatus, leaving it in a reactive and misplaced position.
Michel is a clone of the ideological cells of Iroel Sánchez, Abel Prieto and Fernando Rojas, among other political animals that graze in the gardens of the country’s cultural and communication institutions. This pathetic and ridiculous manipulator, presenter of the television program “Con filo”, assures that the presence in that racket of the handyman, Miguel Díaz-Canel, wrapped in a tight pullover with the national banner, a Swiss watch and Yankee sneakers, had spontaneous character.
Spontaneous, according to Michel, I suppose are the acts of repudiation against opponents. Remember those young university students invading Laura Pollán’s house, because a group of dignified Ladies in White were holding a literary tea. Or sincere, as the General Secretary of the Federation of Cuban Women (FMC) is right now, who has elected the “historical” to Parliament, ruling out the possibility that a woman would occupy that seat. Or unintentional, like the assemblies for the nomination of candidates for district delegates, where the same person who does not do or is not interested in doing anything for the benefit of the neighborhood is always chosen.
It can be said that the cheers from the Avenida del Puerto to the Crucero were natural thomson dreams, when he first arrived at the Havana roadstead. Sincere were the thousands of fans planted in the Fountain of India, waiting for Beyoncé’s big eyes to deign to look at them from the balcony of the Saratoga Hotel; or the acclamations to the ex-president of the United States, Barack Obama, during his visit to the Island, despite security cordons of insurances and mamluks.
About that little show in Trillo Park, unworthy of Benny Hill or Mr. Bean, with paid musicians and minstrels, microphones and amplifiers from the Ministry of Culture, official television and radio called, even a memoir has been written: “The Tangana del Trillo”. It cannot be said that it was spontaneous. Unless you want to cross-eyed the face of the statue of General Quintín Banderas, who presides over the place.
Spontaneous really was the popular uprising of July 11, 2021 (11J). As one of the most rabid spokespersons for power said: “we did not have the opportunity to narrate.” She says this because they didn’t even find out, and when they found out, they didn’t receive the order and had to wait for command directives. Spontaneous was the attack of arrogance and cheap bullshit from the minister of culture Alpídio Alonso, seizing the mobile phone from a freelance journalist. That reminds us of that copla from the forties, when Cuba was a republic: “Because of the chaucha/ they killed Pato Macho, there in the Trillo park/ fighting with the boys.”
