Significance Of Mole In Palm
Conference in San Juan, PR, the historic leader of the Cuban revolution Fidel held him over 20 years.
The "opposition" not "dissident Eloy Gutierrez Menoyo a symposium held last August 2 at the Bar Association of Puerto Rico, San Juan, attended by a large mulditud that packed the room, and had two illustrious personalities: the Cuban Colonel Barbin-mate of the revolution and disappointed by it, as Menon, and the Consul General of Spain.
The conference-debate not could have opened more emotional, as he presented it was none other than Patricia, his daughter, which has seen virtually no growth, and when he could, have sacrificed it for a Cuba without Communism. Introduced to a father who "knows where it belongs" and who "wants to make a revolution within the revolution", Menon, said his daughter, is a man in Cuba "have no voice or vote. Has no status, and the regime's pressure forced him to relocate every few minutes. " It was interesting, too, as well as managed his release from Cuban prisons, former English President Felipe Gonzalez, came to call "CIA."
Preamble to questions
"What we're doing here can not do in Cuba", and that would have then, "when I pass notes in lectures, tell me to stop fucking ". Menon was alos present expedient to announce that what he sought was not a session of praise, but a "democratic dialogue" open. The truth is that not everyone who asked was given, as more of a taunted him that "he moved libremenre, but the dissidents can not." But before you start the round of questions, Menon pointed out that the "first revolution" that ousted dictator Batista, was a revolution, Castro's own words "with bread for all and without terror," Menon plays so that "Fidel is the first breakaway of the revolution" which he said "No bread, and yes there is terror instead."
Menon, who has not lost one iota of a Madrid accent of their parents, and instead has won the Cuban humor, by dint of living on the island, be arrested and traipsing the streets, had some amazing things , and total adherence to the Communist Party had with Batista, then try leave him when the victory of Castro's men was clear.
But time has passed, and the militant guerrilla 60, Menon has become almost the reincarnation of a Besteiro to Cuba, fully convinced that the plurality and democracy, along with the economic reform Cuba only path to a truly progresses.
Menon and dissent
Menon also counted on a meeting he had with Fidel, after their release. He was close to their positions, that the revolution had been diverted, but the dictator settled that "the confrontation U.S. to prevent that. " The truth is that, according to Menon, "Fidel need to dissent" to stay in power. On this dissent, internal and external, the speaker announced that it has a dialogue, sometimes fluid and sometimes not. "The line that dissent is yours, not mine," he added. "I'm opponent, and play left field," referring to its social-democratic stance.
Soon after came the question from an elderly Colonel Barquin, comrade in arms during the revolution, and had given military key to the revolutionaries in Sierra Maestra, recalling that "every time Fidel opened his mouth, lying, and asked, insisting, why did not make common cause with dissidents. Menon again patiently explain that wants what the dissidents, but in another direction
Menon, after several questions on the subject, decided to settle the issue showing his independence, because "to me does not help anyone and I ask if I need it. Could be the 'golden boy' of the U.S., and I chose independence. U.S. funding of dissent hurts. "
In one question was added: "Fidel is one of the smartest men I've ever met" what the speaker contest "A mind Fidel international. If you care what happens in Cuba, then it would be smart. I would say that the revolution that served to something I did, but it is not. People can do no more. " He added, about a possible uprising in Cuba, "descartenlo: Cuba is a police state."
was interesting too, that a Puerto Rican indies asked if the Cuban exiles in Puerto Rico, also American citizens, could comment on the independence of the island. Menon was inclined favorably: "If I defend the independence of Cuba, I can not While supporting the Puerto Rican ", earning the support of most of the villagers present.
When asked during the battery of questions, whether to emulate the Chinese model, Menon said no, because "Cuba has to find its own model, because China is not imitable."
