GREATNESS
Today at 8:36 am
Tomorrow will be presented in Madrid English platform in defense of the democratization of Cuba. I know because I signed, along with more than 60 public figures, thinkers, artists, academics, writers, filmmakers, actors, musicians, many of them first figure in his field as well, and this is perhaps what I like, from a broad spectrum of opinion.
And I say that I like diversity because it reminds me the last years of Franco, when the obvious collapse of the dictatorship led to the creation of citizens' support the process of political normalization. For in the final moments is when you most need a boost of all good people, a minimum agreement that will open the door to freedom. And, Cuba today, the agreement goes through a fundamental choice between democracy and totalitarianism. Something as simple and as big as that.
No doubt that Castro's dictatorship will fall. The problem is how much suffering caused, how many more sacrifices will require, as a totem barbarian before end. For Cubans is about the time of greatness, one of those critical thresholds of history you need to know to cross to win the future. We, in our transition, we knew it: the whole society knew how to be generous and choose to live together. Now we have to support the Cuban must be helped to get rid as soon as the bloody cobwebs of a regime so scandalously immoral and ineffective when, for example, the sugar harvest this year has been worse than in 1905. And then, once collapsed the bars of the great prison that is the island of Cuba will have to learn to understand and respect. It's a crucial time. Do not leave them alone.
