Cuba: Reform or Blackout

I favor the least costly path that remains faithful to universal values: freedom, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.

Amid power vacuums and diplomatic maneuvers, Venezuela’s fate is at stake.

The crisis of democracy does not stem from mobilized masses, but from economic elites who have learned to govern without accountability.

Until profound change occurs, these enormous wildfires will not merely be warnings, they will be our future.

Official Cuban media circulated messages on Sunday raised questions about a possible declaration of a state of war in the country.

Already enough martyrs are losing their youth in prison, and an unarmed people can no longer do anything else against the repressive forces.

Reducing the conversation about Venezuela to oil and international law is an ignorant, complicit, and dehumanizing stance.

They are so similar. Donald Trump and Nicolas Maduro have gigantic egos and believe themselves invincible.

That Maduro is tried for crimes against humanity before jurisdictions that uphold international standards is a test of international law.

It’s not the first time that Cuban blood is spilled in far-off places for no reason, due to the grandiose ambitions of the dictatorship.
