Cuba’s Showcase May Day Parade Cancelled

After first announcing the celebration would go on as usual despite the crisis, Miguel Diaz Canel has now gone to a Plan B.

Years ago Diaz Canel had already made it clear the Cuban Communist Party would not allow any candidates considered “counter-revolutionaries”.

There was no doubt that Díaz-Canel was going to be the ratified president. Kind of like an arranged wedding.

Why would someone with so little popularity and a history of so many unfortunate decisions have another five years at the helm of the nation?

If the reform program the Cuban Government requested from Russian experts is to develop private enterprise, then something smells bad.

Those in power enjoy social media being the firing squad. In the crossfire, there is a silent majority that doesn’t know which side to join.

The Chilean National Economic Attorney General is investigating whether Google and Apple are exerting unjustified market power.

Where does any deviation from the official script seem to be discarded? Once again, in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua.

Both have used the Cuban flag in daily affairs, each one assigning it a meaning, each one with different consequences.

You can’t ask people to be innovative in the search for resources and solutions and then keep their hands tied.
