SANTIAGO OF CUBA, 14 of March, 2009 (www.miamiprogressive.com) the Cuban farmers, in spite of requesting it repeatedly, do not see that they are taken into account in the new North American policy. At least, by means of the direct sale of consumptions, as it is done the Cuban Government to them.

Consulted Antonio Alonso, Chief of a main directorate of the Project of Cuban Rural Civic Development says to us:
“We have presented/displayed our request in writing directly to the civil servants of the Office of Interests in Havana and by other means we have been made them arrive at the North American authorities and to date we have not had answer some�.  Copy of the request (English) (Spanish)

I spread the United States say to be under new political winds, with the election of president Barck Obama, that promises to change, mainly of the foreign policy of that country, we thought that the policy with respect to Cuba also is part of those changes.

Nevertheless, we have to date not seen anything consubstantial.   The House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States have been defining some initiatives with respect to Cuba, during the approval of the budget of expenses for year 2010, but no of those initiatives has great impact in the Government.

President Barck Obama finishes signing the law, that returns the prerogatives of the Cubans been in the United States to the status quo of the 2004. Something in which many agree, those measures never had to be implemented, therefore they demonstrate its negative results to it. The two positions are of political character, no form leaves from a strategy that forces the Cuban Government to move cards, both in the form that were designed rather agree to them.

Cuba is a different country, but equal to the others, thus a compatriot wrote once our. Therefore, to a certain extent it is necessary to give a similar treatment him: first that must make any Administration of the United States that really wants to promote changes in Cuba is to renegotiate the migratory agreements. The exit and later entrance to the country, are piece of change in the political will of the citizens on the part of the Cuban Government.

The condition of political refugee only must be granted to those people who have fulfilled more than three years in prison by these reasons and that she protects under those terms his smaller children and only handcuffs.

The creation of a refugee field, under the auspice of the High Commissioner of United Nations for all those that are forced to flee from Cuba. The elimination of the Law of Cuban Adjustment and the visa lottery, among others measured that the Cuban Government uses to undo socially of all those whom they bother policy to him or.

Therefore it would only be possible to be begun to consider a true strategy of the internal fight, where the exit is not the unique exit and where the popular reclamation is the main tool of fight.
