conversando anoche con rui ferreira me cuenta que durante la dictadura en portugal que termino con la revolucion de los claveles en abril de 1974, al ellos salir a la calle a protestar, se cuidaban de no caer arrestados. motivo: para la causa de la libertad portuguesa resolvian mas afuera que adentro. de igual manera no recuerda que ninguna embajada extranjera les trazara pautas ni mucho menos los invitara a almuerzos a sus recintos. incluso el nacionalismo era tal que aunque algunas embajadas se solidarizaron con su lucha, ellos jamas les pidieron ayuda. por demas, jaranie con rui al decirle que hubiera pasado si la embajada del kremlin en lisboa los hubiera invitado a votar por brezhnev o gromiko en una eleccion del partido comunista sovietico. asi las cosas, analizando la situacion en cuba con estos opositores jovenes que estan resaltando (hablo de yoani sanchez y antonio rodiles) el tipo de lucha que realizan es el de la provocacion. me explico. su efectividad contra el regimen no radica en lo que hacen en internet sino en la calle. aparentemente su labor en internet es para darse a conocer, captar atencion de ilusos y protegerse con premios de instituciones con interes en cuba. asi vemos que en los 2 ultimos meses la sanchez ha provocado 2 arrestos de su persona -verdaderamante innecesarios- mientras rodiles ha buscado 3 encontronazos con la policia. queda visto que la reaccion en el exterior solo la logran al caer ellos arrestados y no viceversa. los posts de la sanchez en su blog ya pasan sin penas ni glorias; mientras el cyber show de rodiles, aunque mas atractivo en el orden visual, no levanta reaccion en el cubano de la isla ni interes en el cubano del exterior. al primero por la falta de acceso a internet y al segundo por la idiosincrasia economica del émigré. hay unas frases del escritor jorge ferrer que me llaman la atencion cuando analiza (en el post anterior publicado en mi blog) que ciertos emigrantes cubanos regresaron no precisamente por no adaptarse a la vida en el exterior sino -lo cito literalmente- que
'vuelven con proyectos profesionales que esperan hacer avanzar en el nuevo marco legal cubano y beneficiarse de oportunidades de negocio que no descubren en los países a los que emigraron'. eso es, el panorama a grosso modo. el negocio que estos 2 descubrieron en cuba fue el de la oposicion. por eso necesitan ser arrestados y provocar, para hacer rentable su empresa. o sea, que interferir con sinceridad por la libertad de rodiles es joderle el negocio. lo que cuenta es el show: posters, lemas, marchas, y ofenderse unos a otros.

talking last night with rui ferreira tells me that during the dictatorship in portugal that ended with the carnation revolution in april 1974, when they go to the streets to protest, cared not to fall arrested. reason: for the cause of the portuguese freedom they resolv more outside than inside. similarly doesn't remember that any foreign embassy draws them guidelines nor much less invite them to lunch in their precincts. even the nationalism was such that although some embassies were sympathized with their struggle, they never asked them help. by the way i joked with rui to tell him that it would have happened if the kremlin embassy in lisbon had invited them to vote for brezhnev or gromiko in a choice of the soviet communist party. things so, analysing the situation in cuba with these opposition's youths which are highlighting (i talk about yoani sanchez and antonio rodiles) the type of fight that they perform is that of provocation. let me explain. their effectiveness against the regime lies not in what they do on the internet but in the street. apparently their work on the internet is to be known, to capture attention of deluded and protect themselves with awards from institutions with interest in cuba. so we see that in the last 2 months the sanchez has provoked 2 arrests of its person -truly unnecessary- while rodiles was after 3 encounters with the police. it's seen that they get abroad reaction when they fall arrested and not vice versa. the sanchez blog posts already passed without sorrows or glories; while rodiles cyber show, although more attractive in visual order, doesn't rise reaction in the cuban of the island nor interest in the cuban from abroad. to the first by lack of access to internet and to the second by the economic idiosyncratic of the émigré. there is a phrase of the writer jorge ferrer who catches my attention when it parses (in the previous post published on my blog) than these some cuban emigrants have returned not precisely by not adapting to life on the outside but -i quote him literally- than 'return with professional projects expected to advance in the new cuban legal framework and take advantage of business opportunities that not discovered in countries that they emigrated '. that is, the scene roughly. the business that these 2 discovered in cuba was the opposition's. that's why need to be arrested and provoke, to make their enterprise profitable. i mean, to interfere with sincerity by the freedom of rodiles is to damn his business. what counts is the show: posters, slogans, marches, and offending each other.©varela
