"Mira, what a hay en el mundo que se llama capitalism, this tells you tienes que si Puedes comprar todo dinero you: hombres, mujeres, hombres de partes or
mujeres ...". Or "el que merece, no pide.
two sentences are taken at random from the collection of arguments by stubborn opposition to the petitioners.
The first I made up myself, the second must be a kind of revolutionary motto, I heard from a Cuban and I immediately adopted.
So I did my best to fight 'begging in Cuba, but it certainly was not the most comfortable position.
Maybe my eyes have changed an observer, but after 12 years of Cuban socialism appears to be in poorer health. The country's economic conditions have improved, there have been many steps to harness private enterprise to the legality, but Fidel is growing old and shabby, the signs of propaganda seem less convincing, more details are always those who have not experienced in the domain of exploitation and dishonesty that were there before the revolution, with Batista and before.
It 's very easy to overestimate the number of petitioners or entrepreneurs in Cuba, because, without exception, are the only categories of people who speak spontaneously to foreigners.
Among other things, to our knowledge that a sample of them, do not dream to flee to Miami. Benefit from the services provided by the Cuban state and dignified, with some convertible pesos a day, earned more or less invented, that will allow small purchases there changed my life. Somehow they know that Miami is more likely.
But the great majority of Cubans ignores the tourists (and the means to round) and you think to live his life. One can become aware of them, giving steps into the car. Despite the improvements due to the supply of new buses from China and oil from Venezuela (as a sign says "revolution produces ideas" and fortunately there's always been so far very few countries in the world who traded rubles, or transport oil to those ideas), transport remain problematic. Except for rare cases of a passenger with relative caterer or rent, the other remained in confidential, and understandable silence.
If, as many predict, Cuba does not do it and it should become a country like everyone else, where people are not equal and some rights are not for everyone, the revolution would be yet another historic event took place or too just to survive in 'wrong time.
conclude by pointing out some facts about Cuba
violations occur in Cuba of human rights among the most sensational of the planet. Naval base in Guantanamo, occupied since 1903 by the U.S. following the invasion in the English-American War, hundreds of people are detained and subjected to torture and ill-treatment without trial.
Five Cuban nationals are held by 1998 e condannati a vari ergastoli con accuse di terrorismo che una vasta campagna mondiale reputa infondate e i processi viziati da irregolarità.
Cuba è stata vittima di moltissimi atti di terrorismo. Tra i più noti, nel 1976 un aereo della compagnia di bandiera cubana (volo 455) fu fatto esplodere mentre era in volo dalle Barbados uccidendo 73 persone.
Nel 1997 diverse bombe esplosero in alberghi all'Avana. In uno di questi attentati morì anche un italiano, Fabio Di Celmo.
Il mandante di tutti gli attentati citati è Luis Posada Carriles, un esule cubano che vive a Miami (dal 19 aprile 2007 è a piede libero, nonostante le richieste di estradizione provenienti da vari paesi dell'America Latina) e che compie attività against the Cuban government on behalf of the CIA since the Bay of Pigs invasion.
the first time in history when the United States agreed to pay damages of war was just following the invasion of the Bay of Pigs: $ 53 million in food and medicine era.
Among the various provisions of a law promoted by Bush in 2004, is that the daily limit on the amount of money to spend on Cubans living in the U.S. during their visits to Cuba, from 164 down to $ 50. Beyond the negligible impact on the economy, generally frowned upon even by Cuban-Americans, is indicative of how to embarrass a socialist economy, which considers the clichés of the moment uneconomic and the bankruptcy itself, the United States are continually forced to issue bans and more stringent limits.
Finally, a pair of figures on education and health, UNICEF took the latest report on Cuba, and, for comparison, data from the two countries closer and Italy and the United States.
Infant mortality rate: 7 per thousand Cuba (Italy 4 per thousand, United States 8 per thousand, 80 per thousand Haiti, Jamaica, 31 per thousand).
Adult literacy rate: Cuba 100% (Italy 98%, U.S. na, na Haiti, Jamaica 80%).
