The Victory Cheers of the Repressors

Cuba’s official celebration for having neutralized poor and dissident young people through imprisonment and exodus.

The Government says that the US is using the hardships as part of the embargo, decreed in 1962, to provoke a social uprising.

The “free visa” for Cubans has turned Nicaragua into a springboard for the new mass exodus of islanders to the United States.

The days will be partly cloudy from morning to nightfall, with little rain. The high temperatures will be 32 and 33°C (90 and 91 F).

“US policy towards Cuba has been dictated by internal politics ever since the end of the Cold War, when Cuba lost strategic value…”
