The responsibility in this hour
Lic. Ernesto A. Side Rodriguez
Santiago of Cuba, 08 of 2010 July - Many have greeted of some way notified yesterday by mass media about the liberation of the condemned political prisoners unjustly in the black spring of year 2003.
According to it has been able to know itself through a cable of the AFP, the opponent Guillermo Fariñas has demoted his hunger strike, after 135 days.
As much the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as the European Union sees the decision of the dictator Raul I castrate like a step positive, although delayed. And it is that the delayed word is the best denomination than to facts like the announced one yesterday by the spokesmen of the regime can occur it.
During 7 years, 75 pacific opponents have undergone physical and psychological tortures, maltratos, calumnies of all type and humiliations. Next to them, their relatives have suffered due to hatred and extreme cruelty of a regime, has forced that them not only to separate of its dear beings but to move by hundreds of kilometers to be able to see them, from enormous difficulties.
The reasons are known for which these noble children of their Mother country were jailed; but more well-known is also the historial length that the Cuban regime already has in the matter of imprisonments and “releases of a prisoner�.
How many times we have not seen the same history? How many they have not been jailed and excarcelados to little or the long time, according to the convenience of the turn dictator?
But better still we must be asked, this that has happened in yesterday, he is worthy to applaud or are in the presence of new tactics to obtain political and economic dividends.
No human being must be catched to emit or to defend his ideas, much less to group itself in parties opposed to the prevailing regime. That is what normally it happens in any democratic society, and a right that all the democratic States or no, must respect, especially if there are sucrito the Universal Declaration of the Human rights.
The cause that a totalitarian government releases to people, who never had to be in prison, is not nothing new in contemporary history, and much less in the one of our country.
Whenever he has been advisable we have been present at these “noble� gestures always directed towards an opposing nobleman, who will grant or deny a noble favor to him in return. Thus it happened in the decade of the 80, in the 90 and the new century has not escaped to the same old woman forms and methods applied by the dictatorship of I castrate.
Saddest it is than after the applauded releases of a prisoner take shape, other imprisonments arrive soon that make the cycle interminable of our eternal prison. Very similar to that proverb that says: “After the storm the calm Only comes� that in the Cuban case, happens the other way around.
Our “Spanish friendly noble� have not obtained any democratic change in the Island, have not been able to cooperate indeed with the opposition. In not few cases, they have refused to have a discussion, at least with her. Now they will welcome in his country in the new deportees.
On the other hand, Raul I castrate already must sleep much more calm. Now that has made sure a victory before the European Union, according to the calculations of the governor, will be buried the Common Position.
Whenever the Cuban government releases to a group of political prisoners, he does in exchange for something. And, having now at sight a voting that would be carried out by the European Union in the month of September, it was necessary to work “fast�. Not without first to make unnecessarily undergo several opponents, who in all the Island we stood in hunger strike, in demand of our brothers, taken like hostages of the dictator.
Would have been possible this liberation without the heroic marches of the Ladies of Target and strikes of hunger that we maintained the opponents in support to Guillermo Fariñas?
I consider that no.
However: We will go the life realizing such actions so that the Castro dictatorship releases to a few and locks up to others?
Until when we will contribute, although it is indirectly, to that the service life of the Castro tyranny extends?
Like Cuban, we were glad excessively which our brothers leave the martyrdom finally which they suffer in mazmorras of the tyrant, but I feel that we must consider fight methods already superiors, that allow us to reach positive results much more. In addition, to demand of the democratic governments of the world, who greet action of the Cuban regime, which they are really positive and democratic.
We do not hope that all dice comes, we do not leave to a side the commitment and the responsibility.
Already Santo Padre Juan Pablo II, in year 1998 said to us: “The responsibility comprises of the freedom�.
We learn to gain new spaces and we reflect seriously: If the liberations that will take place, are the fruits waited for by the Cuban town.
