Excellency Mr. Miguel Angel Moratinos Cuyaubé
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation
With great sorrow we have known his planned visit to Cuba on 18 October. A journey that will serve to legitimize, again, a regime that exercises its power illegally and institutionally deprives its citizens of all civil and human rights that Spain recognized their own.
We will not to ask to intercede for our political prisoners. That could lead to the regime graciously granted the freedom of some of them in a show of goodwill advertising. But of no use until the laws that send innocent men to jail for exercising their human and civil rights to freedom of expression and movement are still valid. Only his immediate repeal will allow the unconditional release of those convicted and will prevent further violations occur in the future. That is what the Cuban people need and demand. Repeal ordinances that legalize the enslavement of the Cuban people. Would you be willing to discuss this point with the regime in Havana?
have no doubt that after his visit, as has happened in other cases, you become champion of the elimination of the U.S. embargo. Just to remind you that the economic and social disaster of Cuba has little to do with the penalty imposed by a sovereign government, a regime that confiscated without compensation the property of its citizens in Cuba. By the way, then stole the English and, no doubt, at any time happen again. The lifting of the embargo should be accompanied by the return to ordinary citizens the right to trade with the whole world, inside and outside the country. Advocating that the United States give credit system to be paying people you represent is not enough. The prestige of Spain deserves a dignified and honorable stance of ethical principles more important than the ambitions of some powerful business group. Ignoring the rights of the Cuban people to exercise their economic freedom to generate their own wealth is at best, hypocrisy if not infamy.
understand your refusal to accept the opposition. The economic interests of the people it represents will not bother to force the Castro regime who do not share receiving official ideology imposed by the party unique. The same interests that dreaming of the potential gains of an untapped market, have helped to economically sustain the regime, have contributed to prostitute our youth, have passively accepted the apartheid of our national and bonded labor have encouraged employees to accept imposed by official agencies as semi-slaves.
Our people, Mr. Moratinos, Spain still loves his motherland. But he also loves freedom as demonstrated by the referendum of his martyrdom sublime, as she said in 1873 the largest of the Cubans, José Martí, in the newly formed English Republic:
understand at last that the love of the good spirit disturbed, I understand the injustice in the brain alive, I understand the hubris that pay for itself enhanced, and are looking for, and acquire, but not I understand that there is mud where it should have heart. Project
