Thanks Fidel

The Cuban government and media commemorated the death of Fidel Castro (in 2016) over the past few days. Here’s what came to my mind.

The elections on November 27 in Cuba come at a tense moment that adds to the deep economic crisis that is worsening..

Watching the news on November 21, I encountered the tragic story of a boy who lost his life in the waters surrounding the Havana boardwalk.

People do not admit mistakes in Cuba, instead they pass them on to the first one who stands in front, behind or to one side of them…

People who defend the existing model are screaming bloody murder saying cutting its budget will mean dropping the level of education.

International Monetary Fund bureaucrats made recommendations and left. The dead, prisoners and exiles are recorded in other accounts.

The social networks became heated when a Spanish “friend of the Revolution” repeatedly offended the hospitalized musician Pablo Milanes.

The medicine crisis in Cuba is so old that there isn’t even a privileged memory that can remember the time when it all began.

The regime used all the repressive mechanisms at its disposal: the municipal governments, national TV, district attorneys & State Security.

I want to tell you, my Cuban friend, that it will get better, but I can’t say anything, because you’ve been hearing this for such a long time
