SANTIAGO OF CUBA - 27 of February, 2010 - the events happened in Slaughters, during the burial of the legendary opponent, Gloria Amaya and now with the premeditaded and treacherous murder of Orlando Zapata Tamayo, has begun to form a new one brings back to consciousness of the Cuban town, around its political reality.

The disqualification of the Cuban regime must be the order task. It already began with the denominations proferidos in the events before mentioned. Nevertheless, it must be reinforced with that remain in the subconscious mind of our population like “minions�, “torturadores�, etc. These words, although seem forgotten, comprise of our political history and recall events, that until of unconscious form the population it rejects and it relates to the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batiste.

In afternoon of it talked yesterday with Mariano González, a person who lived intensely that one time on political violence in Santiago of Cuba and she said to me: , “first that there is to obtain it is that the citizenship internalizes the brutality of the regime and that by all act of abuse against the population takes the blame the government�. Mariano says to me, that then, all abuse was related to the dictatorship and took the blame to Batiste. If a guard did something to him to a citizen, she does not matter what was, began to shout “minion to him�, “assassin�. This word is very convoking and must be used constantly by the opposition in any circumstance of excess that takes place on the part of the regular or political police.

Something that powerfully drew attention to me in velorio of Orlando Zapata Tamayo, was the behavior of its lady mother, Queen Luisa, whom at any moment it blamed to the brothers I castrate of the murder of his son.  In the majority of the cases, the relatives blame to the opposition to drag to their relative to the circumstance in that he is. Even, the intelligence services have chosen the word “manipulation� to describe the behavior or attitude of they adversan which them, and thus to reduce personality and reason to them to the political fighters.

An idea that seems to me very right is the identification of our fight with the murder of Orlando Zapata Tamayo. Several leaders of the opposition in Santiago of Cuba yesterday said that there is to demonstrate that Zapata Tamayo lives, whom there is to place his photo in all the corners of the country, that the authorities flee from him as if outside a ghost. And that the common and current population identifies itself with the crimes of the present dictatorship.

The disqualification of nontomb the government, but justifies everything what it becomes against him. The citizens are more shared in common and it jeopardize with the cause when the government loses his moral justification. Mariano counts here, that in Santiago, in spite of the risk that ran, the people - mainly the women put in their houses to the members of the groups of action and sabotage, when they fled from the Batiste police.

According to old one of 81 years remembers this, the press played a great role in the disqualification of the government, and it says to us: “when the commandos of the subversive groups executed a police, she reported myself like a execution, when the police killed to one of them, then it was a murder�.

The totalitarian regimes try to use the disqualification in opposite sense, disqualifying their opponents. They are conscious of the effectiveness of the disqualification in brings back to consciousness social, for that reason it is necessary to implement the disqualification of the regime as fight strategy.
