Alberto Reyes Pías’ text is not an objective analysis of the Cuban reality, but a piece of political propaganda that repeats narratives long used against the Cuban Revolution.
Cuba faces real difficulties, many of them stemming from internal economic tensions and the external siege imposed by the United States. But to reduce its entire history to a “failure” is to deliberately ignore decades of social conquests and sovereign resistance.
Cuba’s history demonstrates something very different: a small country that, despite economic pressures, media campaigns and political aggression, has defended for more than six decades its right to decide its own destiny.
