Where are we going?
If we are sincere and honest with our reality, we will have to recognize the paralysis of national life as well as the subordination of our lives to the maintenance of a state of affairs that contradicts dialectics.
This narrow and dead-end alley in which the Cuban economy finds itself, which constitutes the only possible basis to overcome the dramatic reality we are experiencing, finds no possible way out beyond the traditional ideological discourse, but without concrete proposals, which if they exist the people do not know them.
People, fed up with so many needs and miseries, the only way they have to alleviate their sorrows is by shouting, protesting or showing their desperation wherever they can.
Responding with threats, persecution and jail is the worst option that power has to calm so much justified and just social uncertainty.
A government of the people and for the people has the mission of making them participate in the decisions that involve them, otherwise they position themselves as their main adversary even if their intentions were the best.
In extreme times like the ones we are experiencing, empathy towards those who suffer from all kinds of shortages is essential, they are not simple ideological or political enemies, they are citizens without answers, without a present, and we cannot talk about the future without taking into account today's reality.
My intention with this text is to call for a stop to the pressure and persecution of those who dissent. It is their right.
Every act of threat or intimidation to the one who protests or expresses himself is an affront to freedom, and no social system whose basis is based on denying the right to cry out in the face of pain can survive.
The only way to silence that clamor is to demonstrate that there is a project that involves us all towards the improvement of life, towards more real freedoms, because freedom is the only and legitimate engine of development.
