THE OTHER SIDE OF THE EMBARGO

Notes of a journalist

From always one has known that the policy generally is dirty and that very few countries and governments get rid of being sprinkled by their mud.
For that reason it does not surprise that the interests and conciliábulos around Cuba “bubble at the moment like winter soup�, especially those that are emerging from the Island.
All want to remove some benefit from the disposition of Barak Obama to fulfill their dream and to slide in history like another Martin Luther King.

MATURE PINEAPPLE

Raul I castrate and his renewed governing cupola they are “that they burn� in being taken into account and to be united to the visionary car…
But, eye! , to its way.
And they do not stop before anything. They finish burning the ingenuous creators of an adjustment, who left the smooth and paved way with Obama, when this one was candidate.
Especially the new Cupola of Cuban government is expectant when the possibility of important changes in the relation with the United States is shown, that would eliminate the sanctions that have stayed by almost fifty years.
The embargo, or blockade as it calls the Cuban regime, has served until now the brothers to him I castrate to throw the fault to him to which it fails in the island… and is almost everything.

What loves Raul I castrate is “bare pineapple and without ojitos�. That the United States them of the benefits, but they not to relax and to usufructuar of the benefits that would come from the rise of the embargo.
(if they pay attention are not many, but rather the impact is in the enormous psicógico triumph that this would represent for the Cuban government).

To this other side there are thousands of industralists who “water is made them the mouth� before the perpectiva abrir companies in an almost virgin earth in the matter of businesses, except for the Spaniards and Canadian that is profiteer the occasion per years.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE

Other that “altar in the sea� is not the president of Brazil, Lula “the Astute one�, that it advanced that only it will speak from the embargo to Cuba, “if Saturday with the new president arises the subject� in its east encounter from the United States.

Nor idiot. The things as they are, benefit more to the Brazilian agent chief executive if “it does not make waves� and it leaves the subject of the calm embargo.
On the one hand, to Lula it agrees to him that “the thing follows equal� as says the tango, to maintain the flow from tourists to its country and not that these go off to Cuba, nation more near the United States and that it would be more attractive if it were abriera to the visits of his powerful neighbor.

Nevertheless, on the other hand, in the matter of prestige and bonds within the psychology of the masses, to Lula it would agree to him, upon this first meeting of a president of Latin America with Obama, to forget a little the benefit Brazil with the tourists and to introduce the subject of the embargo in the conversations.
It knows that, more early than behind schedule the new administration of the USA will move, pushed by the leftists who teem in the cabinet, to improve the relations with Havana.
If he plays cards well, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva llenaria of glory for being Head of State in producing changes in the region -and what more representative than Cuba! - with the White House.
So one sees that he will play it to Lula smooth.

However, there is a matter without alternatives in the notebook of diplomatic notes of Lula for his meeting in the White House. He agrees to him to mediate by Hugo Chavez, his wild Venezuelan pair, but only because he is not suitable to Latin America problems to him with the country of the north.
In this part of the agenda the certainty is had that the Brazilian agent chief executive will pass to Obama “the message to him� of “Fizzles� Chávez, that this one, in spite of his disordered commentaries, yes wants dialog… and is interested “to die�, in spite of his provocations, in having “a policy of approach with the new Government of the United States�.

As it is observed, in this subject of the embargo there are many hidden interests but, no directs first its sights to directly favor the undergone town of Cuba and to improve its human rights. Of that the continuous world in silence against the subject is not spoken and.
Nevertheless, it is made evident that all that comprise of the Stand for casks against the embargo, of a form or another one, try “to take the wheat and to grind it in their own mill� to turn the flour that comes in pure gain.
