AN ISLANDER UNVEILS THE "CHAOTIC" CUBAN
REALITY WITHOUT FIDEL CASTRO UPFRONT
Part of victory from Havana

Cuba is the country that you can hear more lies about. The obsession to show a country without institutions had been so insane. While some ones are still dreaming about the Cuban instability, the country managed to produce half the fuel it uses. The commercial relationship with the region had never been so good. In external affaires, the denounciation of the United States blocking against the isle had reached the biggest support in history in a UN General Assembly votation.

Havana City.- I am Cuban and I am proud of it. Fortunately we don’t have any critical problems with the social justice in our society, we are fighting to get fair society and a better world, because we know it is possible.
We’ve been hearing about the impending collapse of the Cuban socialism, about the people uprising against their governors or about the unsustainable despair. However, since Fidel Castro had to delegate some of his responsibilities because of his illness, every member of the government have been working as usual, the parliament had the usual meetings, in October we had the local elections without any incidents or any abstentions, and on January 20 we had the legislative elections.

   On the other hand, in Belgium, near here, without so many comments from the media or from the annalists, they have been without government for six months and now they have an interim government. In Cuba no prediction had come true, no raft crisis, and no Malecón demonstrations. The obsession to show a country without institutions had been so insane that even the Spanish National Audience had spoken about Fidel Castro being the head of state or not, such an arrogant thing to say that can only bring anger into the other side of the Atlantic .
   Cuba has an impeccable institutionalism. The president delegates his position for health reasons. The position as temporal consultant is being held for him within his limits, and the vice president, Raul Castro, stands in for him, and all the high commanders of the government are with him. On January 20 we had parliamentarian elections and Fidel was a candidate, which indicates that he is still being considered for the Cuban politics. In Cuba the problems are discussed, thousands of meetings of the Communist Party have generated almost two millions of proposals that have to be attended by the people in charge. By the end of December, ten Parliament Work Commissions had analyzed the main economic and budget issues of the country. The food production and distribution, the efficiency, the productivity, the work discipline and the energetic situation were topics discussed without Fidel Castro’s presence, an example of politic normality.
   While some ones are still dreaming about the Cuban instability, the country managed to produce half the fuels it uses, its historical economic nightmare. The commercial relationship with the region had never been so good: through Petrocaribe, the ALBA, international educational and sanitary missions, bilateral agreements with a number of countries, etc. In exterior politics, the denunciation for the United States blocking Cuba had reached the biggest support in history in a UN General Assembly.
   Cuba is the country that you can hear more lies about. They say there is repression but the police was never seen repressing a demonstration, where a lot a opponents are living in better conditions than the ministers, they say that the internet is forbidden but all the students, teachers, doctors and journalists can use it for free at work... The country accused of being governed by communists dinosaurs, but where the person with the highest diplomatic position is 44 years old, where there are no elections, but the 96% of the Cubans are voting voluntarily and through secret vote.
   Of course Cuba has a lot of problems, uncertainties and changes are needed. It is mainly about living conditions, transport and a better food production for its people. But the thing is that these problems are easier to solve within the socialism rather than the capitalism. In living conditions, the solution is to build more, while in Spain the market cannot solve that having two million of empty houses. The transport is easier to solve in La Habana trough a good bus or streetcar system, rather than in collapsed cities like Caracas or Mexico D.F. And with the food problem, the challenge is to start producing in half of the cultivable lands that are left idle.
   It is also true that there are inefficiency and corruption problems, but in Cuba no one gets millions of dollars reclassifying lands like in Spain, and no minister spends € 150,000 in traveling with private jets, nor € 183,000 in protocol like Eduardo Zaplana according to the journalist Alfredo Grimaldos on his latest book. To convince citizens to work efficiently in socialism is not easy. Whereas in capitalism you just need to starve them to death to get them to do it. That is why one of the challenges in Cuba is to find the motivation mechanisms that do not generate insulting and intolerable differences. That discussion was not left out; Raul Castro talked about it on his last speech on July 26.
   But the most outrageous of all to those who are obsessed with overthrowing the Cuban socialism and starting the sacking, is that all of this is happening with Fidel Castro behind the scene. They have been wrong for decades planning Castro’s absence and they are wrong again now that nature had removed him from being head of government. There are so many lies about Cuba that even the liars bought them, and now they are puzzled.
