New Yorker Salustiano Sanchez-Blazquez certified world’s oldest man
Sanchez-Blazquez succeeded 116-year-old Jiroemon Kimura who died June 12 of this year. He is, however, three years younger than 115-year-old Misao Okawa, the oldest woman – and person – in the world, according to Guinness World Records.
The Guinness World Records committee relied on immigration papers, marriage records, census data, and new reports to confirm Sanchez-Blazquez’s age.
Sanchez-Blazquez emigrated from Spain when he was 17 years old to work in Cuba with his friends. After working in sugar cane fields for two years, he then immigrated through Ellis Island and moved to Lynch, Kentucky to mine coal.
He eventually moved to Niagara, New York in the early 1930s. There he met his wife, Pearl, and fathered two children. Currently his son, John, is 76 years old and his daughter is 69 years old. His extended family spans four generations with seven grandchildren, fifteen great-grandchildren, and five great-great-grandchildren.
Over the years Sanchez-Blazquez spent his free time dominating gin rummy with his friends, gardening, and filling out crossword puzzles, according to Guinness World Records. He credits his health and longevity to his daily banana and six Anacin tablets.
In 2007, he moved to a nursing home where he still resides. In ten more years he has the chance to steal the spotlight for the oldest authenticated age of any person. That record is held by 122-year-old Jeanne Louise Calment of France.

Se destapa caso de espía cubana en España
Una nota informativa difundida este jueves en la página digital de Cadena Ser, la principal red de radio española, dice que la cubana, identificada solo por las iniciales B.B. llegó a España en 1999 como becaria de un proyecto biotecnológico del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas de España (CSIC), donde realizó labores de espionaje.
La investigadora, añade, decidió establecerse en España en 2006 al contraer matrimonio con un español, pero luego de solicitar la ciudadanía de ese país, a mediados de 2011 el Ministerio de Justicia le denegó la petición “por razones de seguridad nacional”.
La negativa se basó en un reporte del Centro Nacional de Inteligencia español según el cual la mujer "estuvo trabajando como becaria en un importante y prestigioso centro de investigación español vinculado al CSIC tras haber recibido instrucción por parte de la Dirección General de Inteligencia (DGI) cubana".
El informe del CNI decía además que durante este período, tal y como ella misma reconoció “mantuvo relación con un Oficial de Inteligencia cubano destinado en la Embajada de Cuba en Madrid y como resultado de esta colaboración para el Servicio de Inteligencia (SI) cubano, B.B. incautó información sensible recabada durante su trabajo como becaria, que paralelamente enviaba al Centro de Ingeniería Genética y Biotecnología de La Habana”.
El asunto ha trascendido públicamente después de que la mujer, quien ahora trabaja para el departamento de Biología Funcional de la Universidad de Oviedo, apeló la negativa de concederle la nacionalidad española, negó su actuación como espía y adujo que se ha integrado a la sociedad española con su esposo e hijo.
“Pese a la contundencia de lo descrito por el CNI en su informe—señala la publicación— el servicio secreto español ha reconocido ante la Audiencia que no se dispone de información que confirme o desmienta que B.B. continúe colaborando con los Servicios de Inteligencia cubanos".
Según Cadena Ser. este ha sido uno de los motivos esgrimidos por la Audiencia Nacional para concederle ahora la nacionalidad española a B.B., aunque el principal—precisa— “ha sido que el Centro Nacional de Inteligencia se ha negado a ampliar la información contenida en su informe con el argumento de que se trata de información clasificada".

Cuba Proposes its Construction Services in Barcelona Fair
Cuba will also propose project management in case of new investment plans; refurbishing and repairs, and the remodeling of the built stock, as well as a technical advice for technological and organizational solutions.
Cuban deputy Construction minister Normando Herrera told reporters in Havana that the island will share the experience of its Project Division, which was created 30 years ago. This initiative will be exhibited through the processing, calculation of total of partial designs, along with the specialized installation of multi-disciplinary equipment, structures, cooling and sanitary systems and other projects.
The Barcelona fair, known as Construmat 2013, includes a business forum on short-term tourist projects.
The Cuban delegation to the event is made up of representatives of the Office of Havana’s Historian, the Company of Projects and Engineering Services and the PALCO entrepreneurial corporation.
The group will be headed by first deputy Construction minister Angel Vilaragut.
Last year, Construmat fair was attended by over 1 300 companeis from 120 countries of the world.(ACN)

¿Qué ha encontrado en España la señorita Payá?
viernes, marzo 22, 2013
Canciller español recibe a hija de Payá y "no interferirá" en las investigaciones
Rosa María Payá, hija del difunto opositor cubano, ha confirmado en declaraciones a Europa Press este encuentro con el ministro, al que ha visto "receptivo" en relación a todos los temas tratados.
Ambas partes han coincidido en la necesidad de que se respeten los Derechos Humanos y las libertades fundamentales en la isla.
Oswaldo Payá y el también disidente Harold Cepero fallecieron en julio de 2012, después de que el coche en el que viajaban, conducido por el dirigente de Nuevas Generaciones (NNGG) del PP Ángel Carromero, se saliese de la carretera en la zona sureste de Cuba.
La familia del antiguo líder del Movimiento de Cristiano de Liberación (MCL) cubano ha reiterado ante Margallo que tienen pruebas de que "no fue un accidente", tal como ha denunciado el propio Carromero en sus primeras declaraciones tras su traslado a España, realizadas a 'The Washington Post'.
El ministro de Exteriores ha manifestado en las últimas semanas que no tiene constancia de que los hechos ocurriesen de forma distinta a lo reconocido por Carromero durante el proceso judicial en Cuba y ha instado a quienes duden de dicha versión a acudir a los tribunales.
Sin embargo, ante la familia de Payá, Margallo ha garantizado que el Gobierno "no interferirá" en las iniciativas que se adopten para esclarecer lo ocurrido. En este sentido, se ha comprometido a no favorecer ni bloquear las investigaciones internacionales y a tampoco inmiscuirse en caso de que el entorno de Oswaldo Payá denuncie los hechos ante la Justicia española.
Rosa María Payá se ha dado por "satisfecha" con este compromiso del ministro. "Vamos a continuar luchando por el reconocimiento de la verdad", ha advertido, sin descartar por el momento ninguna vía para esclarecer lo que, a ojos de la familia, es un "posible asesinato".
La hija de Oswaldo Payá ha insistido que Carromero "es una víctima más" de este supuesto complot y así se lo ha trasladado al jefe de la diplomacia española. "Le hemos dicho lo que pensamos", ha apuntado, sin entrar a aclarar cuál fue la respuesta del ministro.
Por otro lado, la presidenta del Partido Popular de Madrid, Esperanza Aguirre, ha criticado este jueves al gobierno de Cuba calificándolo como "la dictadura comunista más siniestra, duradera, arcaica y anacrónica de todo Occidente".
"Ninguna persona de buena voluntad puede estar satisfecha mientras la dictadura castrista siga oprimiendo a los cubanos", ha afirmado la expresidenta de la Comunidad de Madrid durante la presentación del libro 'Cuba: camino de libertad' (editorial Hispano Cubana), de Guillermo Cortázar, celebrada en la Casa de América de la capital.
Aguirre ha participado como presentadora en un acto en el que también han intervenido el escritor cubano, Raúl Rivero, y la portavoz de las Damas de Blanco, Berta Soler, además del propio autor del libro.
Durante la presentación, la líder del PP madrileño ha tenido palabras de agradecimiento a los opositores del régimen cubano "por ese coraje y entereza por la que luchan por la libertad de su patria", ha subrayado, "que es lo mismo que decir que luchan por la libertad de todos".

Who Will Stand Up for Oswaldo Payá?
cubanexilequarter |
Two weeks ago a brave young leader of Spain’s ruling Popular Party stepped forward to offer a sensational, firsthand account of how one of Cuba’s leading dissidents, Oswaldo Payá, was killed last summer. Ángel Carromero said a car that he was driving in which Payá was a passenger was rammed from behind by a vehicle bearing official Cuban license plates. He said he was then jailed in inhuman conditions, drugged and threatened by Cuban authorities with death if he did not tell a false story about what happened.
Naturally, Spanish journalists quickly approached Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margello, Mr. Carromero’s comrade in the Popular Party, to ask for his reaction. One might have expected an expression of shock at the revelation that the Castro regime might have deliberately killed one of the world’s best-known advocates of peaceful democratic change, a winner of the European Union’s Sakharov Prize, and then abused and framed a prominent Spanish citizen.
Nope: Garcia-Margello didn’t hesitate to throw the leader of his party’s youth wing under a bus. The foreign ministry, he primly told the reporters, “didn’t have evidence” of Carromero’s account. “The only evidence” it had, he added, was an agreement between the Cuban government and Spain allowing the repatriation of Carromero, which “recognized... the legitimacy of the verdict” of a Cuban court that found him guilty of negligent homicide.
In other words, the Spanish foreign minister was saying he thought the Cuban state security service was more credible than a 27-year-old leader of his own party who spoke out, at the risk of his career and his conditional release from prison, because, as he put it in an interview with The Post, “I could not live, being complicit through my silence.”
It’s worth considering why the Spanish government, like the Obama administration and Latin America’s democracies, ignored Carromero’s allegations. If legendary dissident Andrei Sakharov himself had died in a suspicious car accident in the Soviet Union, and a credible Western witness had then offered testimony like Carromero’s, it’s hard to imagine that Ronald Reagan and former Spanish prime minister Felipe Gonzalez would have remained silent.
But first let’s examine the supposed lack of evidence. Carromero, Payá, Cuban Harold Cepero and Swedish politician Jens Aron Modig were driving down a rural road in eastern Cuba last July 22 when the crash occurred. The two Cubans riding in the back seat died, while Carromero and Modig in the front survived.
Carromero says the car was followed from the moment it left Havana; as anyone familiar with Cuba and its secret police knows, that is routine for dissidents such as Payá. Here’s a question for the Spanish foreign ministry: Is it credible that a vehicle bearing dissidents and two Western politicians would not be followed on a road trip? Right. So where are the occupants of the two cars, one with official plates, described by Carromero?
The Cuban version says Carromero’s car struck a tree. But the photo authorities released shows a sedan clearly smashed from behind. Unless the Spaniard somehow accelerated backward into the tree, the picture belies the official story. Then there are the texts: Payá’s family say they have SMS messages that Carromero and Modig sent to friends in Europe soon after the crash, saying they had been hit from behind and run off the road. And there is Modig himself: The young Swede, who was also detained for a time in Cuba, told Swedish radio last week that he did send the reported texts, and that while he did not remember the accident, “I don’t have any doubts about what is now revealed.”
Finally there is this: The crash marked the second time Payá had been in an accident in two months. In Havana, a car he was driving was also struck by a suspicious vehicle, injuring him slightly. His family says he regularly received telephone calls with death threats.
Perhaps the Spanish foreign minister disrespects Carromero enough to conclude that he is lying in spite of all the indications that he is not. Or perhaps he feels compelled to bow to political considerations: the Spanish government’s cultivation of the Castro regime, its gratitude for the release to Spain of several score Cuban political prisoners, its hopes that four Spaniards in Cuban custody will, like Carromero, be freed. Other Western governments desperately want to believe that Raul Castro is a reformer who is slowly liberalizing Cuba.
All these calculations assume that the possibility that the regime deliberately targeted and killed Payá is ultimately unworthy of international attention; that impunity for such a crime is a regrettable necessity; or that the case says nothing about the Castros’ real intentions. Were they alive, Andrei Sakharov and Oswaldo Payá would surely disagree.

EU to Maintain "Common Position" Toward Castro
Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo on Wednesday assured the leader of the Cuban dissident movement Ladies in White that the European Union will maintain its tough "common position" toward the regime in Havana.
That is what Berta Soler told Efe after meeting Wednesday with Garcia-Margallo, to whom she expressed her concern that the common position was "weakening."
The foreign minister assured her that the common position "will continued to be maintained until in Cuba" there is official respect for human rights and democracy is installed, Soler said.
The common position, agreed to by the EU in 1996, establishes that the level of European cooperation with Cuba will depend on the advances that country makes in democracy and political openness.
On her first trip outside Cuba, Soler, who supports the maintenance of the U.S. embargo against the Communist island, is denouncing repression in her country and asking for an increase in international pressure on the Castro regime.

Alert: Carromero Tells-All About Paya's Murder
Ángel Carromero, a leader of Spain’s ruling party, was visiting Cuba last July when a car he was driving crashed, killing Cuban dissidents Oswaldo Payá and Harold Cepero. Mr. Carromero was convicted of vehicular homicide; in December, he was released to Spain to serve out his term. This week he agreed to be interviewed by The Washington Post about the crash. Mr. Carromero, 27, holds a law degree and has taken a business course at Fordham University in New York.
What happened that day?
Oswaldo Payá asked me to take him to visit some friends, since he didn’t have the means to travel around the island. There were four of us in the car: Oswaldo and Harold Cepero in the back, [Jens] Aron Modig [of Sweden] in front, and me driving. They were following us from the beginning. In fact, as we left Havana, a tweet from someone close to the Cuban government announced our departure: “Payá is on the road to Varadero.” Oswaldo told me that, unfortunately, this was normal.
But I really became uneasy when we stopped to get gas, because the car following us stopped, waited in full view until we were finished and then continued following. When we passed provincial borders, the shadowing vehicle would change. Eventually it was an old, red Lada.
And then another, newer car appeared and began to harass us, getting very close. Oswaldo and Harold told me it must be from “la Comunista” because it had a blue license plate, which they said is what the government uses. Every so often I looked at it through the rearview mirror and could see both occupants of the car staring at us aggressively. I was afraid, but Oswaldo told me not to stop if they did not signal or force us to do so. I drove carefully, giving them no reason to stop us. The last time I looked in the mirror, I realized that the car had gotten too close — and suddenly I felt a thunderous impact from behind.
I lost control of the car, and also consciousness — or that is what I believe, because from that point my memories are unclear, perhaps from the medications they gave me. When I recovered consciousness, I was being put into a modern van. I don’t know how it had gotten there, but neither Oswaldo nor Harold nor Aron was inside. I thought it was strange that it was only me, and I figured that the rest of them didn’t need to go to the hospital.
I began to yell at the people driving the van. Who were they? Where were they taking me? What were they doing with us? Then, woozy, I again lost consciousness.
What happened after that?
The next time I awakened, I was on a stretcher, being carried into a hospital room. The first person who talked to me was a uniformed officer of the Ministry of the Interior. I told her a car had hit our vehicle from behind, causing me to lose control.
She took notes and, at the end, gave me my statement to sign. The hospital, which was civilian, had suddenly been militarized. I was surrounded by uniformed soldiers. A nurse told me they would put in an IV line to take blood and sedate me. I remember that they kept taking blood from me and changing the line all the time, which really worried me. I still have the marks from this. I passed the next few weeks half-sedated and without knowing exactly what they were putting in me.
Some text messages were sent from the scene, and there have been reports of others, not yet disclosed. Do you know about them?
They took away my mobile phone when they took me out of the car. I was only able to use Aron’s mobile phone the time we were together in the hospital. I didn’t remember the messages until I arrived in Spain and I read them, asking for help and saying that our car was hit from behind.
How was your statement obtained?
They began to videotape me all the time, and they kept doing so until the last day I was jailed in Cuba. When they questioned me about what happened, I repeated what I told the officer who originally took my statement. They got angry. They warned me that I was their enemy, and that I was very young to lose my life. One of them told me that what I had told them had not happened and that I should be careful, that depending on what I said things could go very well or very badly for me.
Then came a gentleman who identified himself as a government expert and who gave me the official version of what had happened. If I went along with it, nothing would happen to me. At the time I was heavily drugged, and it was hard for me to understand the details of the supposed accident that they were telling me to repeat. They gave me another statement to sign — one that in no way resembled the truth. It mentioned gravel, an embankment, a tree — I did not remember any of these things.
The hit from the back when we left the road didn’t need to be hard, because I remember that there was no curb or incline. The pavement was wide, with no traffic. I especially did not agree with the statement that we were traveling at an excessive speed, because Oswaldo was very cautious. The last speed I saw on the speedometer was approximately 70 kilometers per hour [about 45 miles per hour]. The air bags did not even deploy during the crash, nor did the windows shatter, and both I and the front-seat passenger got out unhurt.
A video of you describing the accident was shown to journalists by Cuban authorities. Under what circumstances was it made?
Once I left the hospital, they took me to a jail in Bayamo. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever lived through. I was held incommunicado, never seeing the light of day. We walked among cockroaches until they put me in the infirmary cell, along with another Cuban prisoner. The conditions were deplorable. A stream of water fell from the roof once a day, the toilet didn’t have a tank, and you could use it only when you had a bucket of water that you could throw afterward into the bowl. The cell was full of insects that woke me up when they fell on my body. Although I remember almost nothing specific from those days, images come to me — and I only wish they were nightmares, and not memories.
The video that the authorities made public was recorded under these conditions. As viewers can see, my face and my left eye are very swollen and I speak like I am drugged. When an officer gave me a notebook in which the official Cuban government account was laid out, I limited myself to reading statements from that notebook. In fact, you can see me reading Cuban expressions I didn’t know, like “transit accident” (in Spain it’s “traffic accident”) , and you can see me direct my gaze to the right corner, which is where the officer stood who held the notes. I hoped that no one would think that the video was freely recorded, or that what I said there corresponded to what really happened.
Who sent you to Cuba? Why did you travel there?
Nobody sent me to Cuba, and I didn’t even tell my boss about my trip. I traveled there during my summer vacation, like so many other supportive people — because I admire the peaceful defenders of liberty and democracy like Oswaldo, who is very well known in Spain.
What do you think about the trial in Bayamo?
The trial in Bayamo was a farce, to make me the scapegoat, but I had to accept the verdict without appeal in order to have the minimal possibility to get out of that hell. However, I decided at the last minute to not declare myself guilty, thinking of Alan Gross [an American contractor sentenced to 15 years in prison for bringing communications equipment into Cuba illegally].
As for the Spanish authorities, I can only thank them for managing to repatriate me. I don’t want to cause any more problems. I want to get my previous life back. I even understand that, even though I am innocent, I have to continue with my liberty restricted due to the bilateral accord between Cuba and Spain. I only hope that this unjust situation will not last for long.
Despite the accusations to which I am daily subjected by the press and by the defenders of the Castro dictatorship, it’s not my intention to go on talking about this traumatic experience. I’ve received death threats in Spain, and I have had to testify before a notary so that at least the truth would be known if something happened to me.
Why are you speaking out now?
The most important thing for me is that the Payá family always has defended my innocence, when they are the most injured by this tragedy. That’s why, when I met Rosa Maria [Payá’s daughter] this week, I could not hide the truth any more. I am not only innocent — I am another victim, who might also be dead now. I know that this decision could result in more brutal media attacks against me from Cuba, but I don’t deserve to be considered guilty of involuntary homicide, and, above all, I could not live, being complicit through my silence.
I don’t know what they gave me in the intravenous line, but I continue to have large memory lapses. What they didn’t manage to make me forget is that Oswaldo is one of the people who most impressed me in my life. He is the true protagonist of this nightmare. He was an exceptional person, and I will never forget him.
Carromero declara que su auto fue impactado por detrás
Carromero dice que él conducía el auto, y a su derecha estaba el político sueco Aron Modig, y sentados atrás Payá y Cepero, cuando fueron embestidos con fuerza por un vehículo que los seguía en una carretera de la provincia Granma.
Tras el incidente, Carromero fue puesto en un van muy moderno y llevado inconsciente a un hospital en Bayamo, y que la primera persona que le habló fue una agente uniformada del Ministerio del Interior. En ese momento le dijo a la funcionaria que el auto fue golpeado por otro.
Posteriormente el hospital fue militarizado y Carromero llevado a una cárcel de Bayamo, lo que describió como la peor experiencia de su vida. En medio de esa situación, Carromero afirma que fue obligado a mentir y aceptar la versión oficial en un video, y que el juicio celebrado en Bayamo fue una farsa.
Carromero explica al Washington Post que decidió hablar sobre la realidad de los hechos tras haberse reunido en Madrid con Rosa María Payá, hija de Oswaldo Payá. Agrega que Oswaldo fue la persona que más impresión le ha causado en su vida.

In Spain, the Truth Starts to Come Out About Paya “Accident”
Retratos de fusilados por el Castrismo - Juan Abreu
"Hablame"
"EN TIEMPOS DIFÍCILES" - Heberto Padilla
A aquel hombre le pidieron su tiempo
para que lo juntara al tiempo de la Historia.
Le pidieron las manos,
porque para una época difícil
nada hay mejor que un par de buenas manos.
Le pidieron los ojos
que alguna vez tuvieron lágrimas
para que contemplara el lado claro
(especialmente el lado claro de la vida)
porque para el horror basta un ojo de asombro.
Le pidieron sus labios
resecos y cuarteados para afirmar,
para erigir, con cada afirmación, un sueño
(el-alto-sueño);
le pidieron las piernas
duras y nudosas
(sus viejas piernas andariegas),
porque en tiempos difíciles
¿algo hay mejor que un par de piernas
para la construcción o la trinchera?
Le pidieron el bosque que lo nutrió de niño,
con su árbol obediente.
Le pidieron el pecho, el corazón, los hombros.
Le dijeron
que eso era estrictamente necesario.
Le explicaron después
que toda esta donación resultaria inútil.
sin entregar la lengua,
porque en tiempos difíciles
nada es tan útil para atajar el odio o la mentira.
Y finalmente le rogaron
que, por favor, echase a andar,
porque en tiempos difíciles
esta es, sin duda, la prueba decisiva.

Carta desde la carcel de Fidel Castro Ruz
“…después de todo, para mí la cárcel es un buen descanso, que sólo tiene de malo el que es obligatorio. Leo mucho y estudio mucho. Parece increíble, las horas pasan como si fuesen minutos y yo, que soy de temperamento intranquilo, me paso el día leyendo, apenas sin moverme para nada. La correspondencia llega normalmente…”
“…En cuanto a fumar, en estos días pasados he estado rico: una caja de tabacos H. Upman del doctor Miró Cardona, dos cajas muy buenas de mi hermano Ramón….”.
“Me voy a cenar: spaghettis con calamares, bombones italianos de postre, café acabadito de colar y después un H. Upman #4. ¿No me envidias?”.
“…Me cuidan, me cuidan un poquito entre todos. No le hacen caso a uno, siempre estoy peleando para que no me manden nada. Cuando cojo el sol por la mañana en shorts y siento el aire de mar, me parece que estoy en una playa… ¡Me van a hacer creer que estoy de vacaciones! ¿Qué diría Carlos Marx de semejantes revolucionarios?”.

Cuando vinieron
Cuando vinieron a buscar a los sindicalistas, Callé: yo no soy sindicalista.
Cuando vinieron a buscar a los judíos, Callé: yo no soy judío. Cuando vinieron a buscar a los católicos, Callé: yo no soy “tan católico”.
Cuando vinieron a buscarme a mí, Callé: no había quien me escuchara.
Reverendo Martin Niemöller

CUBA LLORA Y EL MUNDO Y NOSOTROS NO ESCUCHAMOS
Donde estan los Green, los Socialdemocratas, los Ricos y los Pobres, los Con Voz y Sin Voz? Cuba llora y nadie escucha.
Donde estan el Jet Set, los Reyes y Principes, Patricios y Plebeyos? Cuba desesperada clama por solidaridad.
Donde Bob Dylan, donde Martin Luther King, donde Hollywood y sus estrellas? Donde la Middle Class democrata y conservadora, o acaso tambien liberal a ratos? Y Gandhi? Y el Dios de Todos?
Donde los Santos y Virgenes; los Dioses de Cristianos, Protestantes, Musulmanes, Budistas, Testigos de Jehova y Adventistas del Septimo Dia. Donde estan Ochun y todas las deidades del Panteon Yoruba que no acuden a nuestro llanto? Donde Juan Pablo II que no exige mas que Cuba se abra al Mundo y que el Mundo se abra a Cuba?
Que hacen ahora mismo Alberto de Monaco y el Principe Felipe que no los escuchamos? Donde Madonna, donde Angelina Jolie y sus adoptados around de world; o nos hara falta un Brando erguido en un Oscar por Cuba? Donde Sean Penn?
Donde esta la Aristocracia Obrera y los Obreros menos Aristocraticos, donde los Working Class que no estan junto a un pueblo que lanquidece, sufre y llora por la ignominia?
Que hacen ahora mismo Zapatero y Rajoy que no los escuchamos, y Harper y Dion, e Hillary y Obama; donde McCain que no los escuchamos? Y los muertos? Y los que estan muriendo? Y los que van a morir? Y los que se lanzan desesperados al mar?
Donde estan el minero cantabrico o el pescador de percebes gijonese? Los Canarios donde estan? A los africanos no los oimos, y a los australianos con su acento de hombres duros tampoco. Y aquellos chinos milenarios de Canton que fundaron raices eternas en la Isla? Y que de la Queen Elizabeth y los Lords y Gentlemen? Que hace ahora mismo el combativo Principe Harry que no lo escuchamos?
Donde los Rockefellers? Donde los Duponts? Donde Kate Moss? Donde el Presidente de la ONU? Y Solana donde esta? Y los Generales y Doctores? Y los Lam y los Fabelo, y los Sivio y los Fito Paez?
Y que de Canseco y Miñoso? Y de los veteranos de Bahia de Cochinos y de los balseros y de los recien llegados? Y Carlos Otero y Susana Perez? Y el Bola, y Pancho Cespedes? Y YO y TU?
Y todos nosotros que estamos aqui y alla rumiando frustaciones y resquemores, envidias y sinsabores; autoelogios y nostalgias, en tanto Louis Michel comulga con Perez Roque mientras Biscet y una NACION lanquidecen?
Donde Maceo, donde Marti; donde aquel Villena con su carga para matar bribones?
Cuba llora y clama y el Mundo NO ESCUCHA!!!
