"The reforms in Cuba are irreversible and unstoppable"

Although by Norberto Fuentes (Havana, 1943) Raul Castro and his group, with the permission of his brother Fidel, in 1989 marred the nature of the Cuban revolution, the writer said he was convinced that the current president of the island will end his government a good way. The author of books such as Sweet Cuban soldiers and Fidel Castro's autobiography does not forget.

He claims that in 1989, with the Cause Number 1, which ended with the shooting of four soldiers, including Gen. Arnaldo Ochoa and Colonel Antonio de la Guardia, "castrated the revolution, because eliminated the bold, non-domesticated . They killed these people for the same things you are doing now.

" "At that time the revolution is fucked. There came a period of gray officials. But the events taking place in Cuba and the decisions of the Sixth Party Congress [Communist Cuba, PCC] going to give a new twist to the address the country, "Fuentes said in a telephone interview from his home in Florida.

Question. What is the newest of the congress of the PCC? Response. Black. The amount of black that is now in the party's Central Committee. Formidable. Black Cubans are fiercely maternal, ie, they are very pragmatic women. Slavery and capitalism then forced them to fight for life in unequal combat.

Result is a Darwinian. Now they are in the strong Central Committee. That counter to what the group of Raul, with the approval or support of Fidel, did in 1989. The new people are the antithesis of who led the Cuban government after the No. 1 cause. Who is going to seize power from these washers granddaughters or daughters of maids to 15 pesos per month in the most fortunate? The second thing is that conference delegates applauded the historic only when they were presented.

This shows that there is a relationship that people with the legend. There were cheers of appreciation but also a farewell. And finally, the conference demonstrated that Raul has the full control of the country. Will it make a good president in the five years remaining. P. But perhaps there are not many octogenarians and military in the Central Committee to carry out the changes? R.

Old is one thing military is another. There are some historical figures he had to wear it, but most are young people. And where is that many military? The transition in Cuba and came. It is these people is what is in the Central Committee. The current ethnic composition of the country is represented on the Central Committee.

P. Who is bad news that has happened in Cuba this week? R. For the classic counter to Miami. If they say that the reforms are limited, bad news for them because they are changing anyway. This government, this country, this revolution is going to do what you have to do. It is often forgotten that they have seen something theoretical from Lenin to Sartre: the ability of revolutions to lurch or soar into reverse at your convenience.

But what will not do is give the power to Miami. In Cuba, have a conference to implement all those measures for which no remedy, because what is at stake is survival. What do they have to offer those in Miami? Nothing. In addition, this new generation of what crime they will be charged, how bout you blame, if new people, even most born after the Bay of Pigs.

The Revolution completed its cycle. What is interesting is how the revolution was able to meet its entire life cycle and finished. Now comes another people, and Raul Castro, who has demonstrated extraordinary ability to organize, they will say: "Gentlemen, from now on you are going to sail alone.

I'm leaving in five years." P. Which way next? R. The way they choose. The path of development. This is a generation that is afraid of nothing, nothing I can fear the older generation. They are not afraid to computers, to talk with their peers in Miami, to rock and roll, to shorts. They are not afraid of anything.

P. Will there be any political opening? R. Is essential. One thing goes with the other and is already happening in fact. Economic development requires openness and this is a new generation that is in power, is a new generation that has to face the country, and what you do or not do is their business.

But do not put the cart before the horse. The priority is to develop the country economically, and that's what they have to deal. P. In the next stage, will they be the military front? R. This is a gradual process. Everyone must be fully aware that this is an irreversible process, unstoppable.

It is a process of reorganization of the country to be left to a new generation. That is the purpose of this. The purpose of this is to let [the first Vice President Jose Ramon] Machado Ventura and two soldiers in power. It is not that. In any case, the military who are going to stay and new people are new boys.

Raul Castro has made the new structure of the country and it is here. Raul has been perfect order starting with the transition, the transition is already underway. This is a new structure and a new generation which, again, is not afraid of anything.
