Maria Elena Cruz Varela REFLECTS ON THE MYTHS AND FEARS of Castro and Castro

Who love me and care about me, with which I tend to speak without any interference from the divine and human, not left to warn: "Be careful what you write, do not go to earn enemies." (...). Have an opinion different from mine does not make anybody my enemy. Those who think they can attack someone waste time and energy because, as the ideas leave not their source, the attack ends where it began, or on themselves (...). Moreover, this fear is old and is the same paralysis that has created the Cuban mind. Be afraid here, "out" is like having it there, "inside" (...).

That fear of not being sufficiently considered correct in our opinions, with the urgent need for acceptance in the new premises, has created a swamp in the middle of the two rocks visible in the positions that support anti-Castro (...). These two rocks are, firstly, the presence of political games, completely isolated, unsupported and on the other, the mixture of cíbercederismo with chancleteo, so close to sweeping the Malecón shouting "Paredón, wall" and " not skip a Yankee "(...).

This is compounded by the myths (...) The myth of the unit under a dictatorial regime and in exile (...). There can be no such unity among those who have been targeted unless that we intend to copy the dictatorial model in reverse, therefore, the more proposals and options, the better. The unit will come by itself when the conditions are created (...)

extrapolate models is another trend within the regime who oppose the Castro brothers. We call such striking figures as Mahatma Gandhi, as if England and India at that time had anything to do with our situation and our time, in addition to our lack of a philosophical identity and adding to that, our particular idiosyncrasies. Not serve us, the facts have shown, no known model agrees to our terrible and lonely situation national. There is a principle that says: "If you want to achieve different results, you have to do different things." What is at stake is our creativity (...). We must never lose sight of what they did in the past does not serve us in the present, not how it works, Martí's Cuba is not Cuba ...
