Ernesto Morales, blog The Little Brother has got the best comment we've read so far about the incident Bejarano, "the Cuban painter until three days ago was one of the great names of the new Cuban painting, and now become pedophile who faces a minimum of 20 years in prison after he acknowledged his guilt for having molested a 5 year old. A pathetic case, no doubt. Here we leave the link to the article " of glory villainy." 
A reader who signs as Lake Ernesto gave us a view in the previous post that we found interesting. So, although it appears from the comments, so we went as a post: criticism just released Padura Ponte against me has left a bad taste. I do not question that some signs have some validity, although there are other debatable. What I find unfortunate is that someone with the talent of Ponte waste your time finding fault with the novels of a compatriot who has the merit (as it was Ponte) to create and be a more critical voice within the regime itself.
Obviously Ponte has taken the time to polish this review. It would have been more productive, instead, been careful to write a novel better than Padura. I'm not exactly a fan of Padura, but I read several of his novels, including one referred to by Ponte ("The novel of my life") I do not think review is justified as poisonous. But then entertain us Cubans trying to throw mud on other talented Cubans.
Ponte hope does not become a rival of this scourge of humanity that is Zoe Valdes, who undertakes all the time against any Cuban talent to surface. Envy can do much damage. Sure, Ponte has what no Valdes: culture, class and true talent as an essayist.
Ponte suspect that perhaps he has hurt Padura's success as a novelist. And if not, that criticism has made many people think that's the reason, then Ponte had never been produced nor has specialized in critical to novels. Actually, there was an elegant gesture on his part.
essayist Antonio José Ponte, based in Madrid (Spain) has published a hyper-critical reflection on The man who loved dogs , the latest novel by Leonardo Padura, resident of Havana (Cuba). Whether we agree or disagree with all or part of the review, the fact is that the text of Ponte is an excellent example of a critique from the academic culture, with intelligent arguments, and the civility that should characterize the dialogue and cultural debate among writers Cuban ... something that sometimes is a "rara avis" between certain components chattering of the island and in exile, where for any reason we turn to the slipper or insult free. We left
readers the link to the text of Ponte published in Journal of Cuba, Padura's novel: Trotsky's murderer in a fair Havana.
"The people of Cuba seems anesthetized" is the sad conclusion of a disappointing article published on the site Analítica.com. According to the author, Trino Marquez, "events in the Middle East and the Maghreb show that if at any country needed a revolution in Cuba, "but" for this to happen we must add to the epic events of some the presence of the masses. "However, Cuba "remains outside the transformations and mass protests, although the model is implemented as 52 years ago authoritarian, repressive, inept and corrupt as the satrap of Qaddafi or any other of his colleagues in the region. Except for the brave marches Damas de Blanco, the heroic hunger strikes by dissidents - Orlando Zapata Tamayo that cost him his life and Guillermo Fariñas left him in the skeleton - allegations of blogger Yoani Sánchez and the occasional criticism of journalists and other isolated groups, the tyranny of the Castro brothers seem as compact as minerals. "
The article summarizes that feeling that hangs like the proverbial sword of Damocles over the d0s million Cuban exiles, who discussed Middle East events, not daring to recognize what this reporter says by the clear:
"The Cuban people seem numb, after half a century under a system based on mutual betrayal and terror, as was built by the dreaded East German secret police, the Stasi, the Soviet KGB and the Czech Police. Cuba is a huge floating prison in the Caribbean Sea. Fear and paralysis are embedded in the chromosomes of its people. The critical mass that migrated past five decades and thousands of rafters who left the island, have not been replaced. There has emerged a generation of relief and a critical mass reissue those groups who risked their lives facing the picturesque Fulgencio Batista. Not perceived as the heart of this much abused and oppressed people can rise to a force able to twist the arm of this pair of tyrants. "
