Ungovernability The Democratic Initiative, which is the implementation strategy of opposition municipalities had a big impact last year, so we wanted to know your current situation, as we approach Paez Gerardo Diaz, principal promoter of this new project, who told us:
"The Democratic Ungovernability initiative, strengthening the participation of the Strategic Studies Center for Democracy Proactive," José Ignacio García Hamilton "who will provide academic and professional interpretation of our struggle opposition. Since last year, has been emphasizing the need to implement more effective and direct methods, discarding some traditional inefficient and very well used, sometimes by the regime to discredit the opposition and thus to avoid social representation the population. "
Gerardo himself tells us that after the publication of the Guide Research for Democracy Proactive, has been coordinating the reactivation of the seminars and conferences, which have already been made in several different provinces such as Santiago de Cuba, Pinar del Rio and three in the new province of Artemis. Comment
Gerardo
the upcoming lectures will be given in other provinces such as Matanzas, Santa Clara and the Isla de la Juventud municipality, where he traveled with two other opponents, who will support you in conferences and other activities that require teamwork for their good performance, and promote the work of the municipality of opposition that exists in that region.
These conferences have been characterized by stronger opponents, of course for his outspoken opposition to the regime, but have not been free of those who openly dissent, but are considering taking this necessary step for the good of the cause of freedom of the Cuban people is their own. "The most important of these conferences is to help us discover the truth, and to realize the lie that we have been living all these years of totalitarian dictatorship," said Juan Carlos Rodriguez, who has participated in two conferences taught in Artemis. Juan Carlos Rodríguez
can not be considered an opponent, but a young 37-year-old who says she frustrated and without hope of a future that will provide certain welfare, both him and his family.
Gerardo Paez himself points out, that with a view to reviving the work of the municipalities of opposition in Cuba, the developers are making direct contacts with the presidents of each municipality to object constituted with the objective of coordinating all the details regarding to how you should work from now on, to strengthen government structures parallel those linking the people with the most effective and direct. With that goal tells us Gerardo Paez, who met with Frank Reyes López, president of that organization in the province Santa Clara, who will take the initiative to other municipalities in the province of opposition. Similarly
has coordinated with the promoters Pedro Antonio Alonso and Juan Carlos Hernandez of Santiago de Cuba province, to conduct the seminars in different towns of the east, while coordinating work with other promoters, such as Jorge Luis García Pérez (Antúnez) and Martha Díaz Rondón to deploy the initiative nationwide. According
Gerardo Paez, project implementation has not been without difficulties of all kinds, whether it is a project of social and institutional structure that has greatly worried the authorities. The intelligence agencies have mobilized all of their agents within and outside the country, to neutralize the initiative.
opposition itself, for various reasons, has not cooperated sufficiently with the idea, since many believe that interfere with their projects or steals prominence. Something that has some reason, if we put in the context of events in the first half of this year, mainly the heroic death of Orlando Zapata Tamayo, a prolonged civil resistance position of Guillermo Fariñas and historical and marches of the Ladies White, who stole the national and international attention. However, this shows the immaturity of our opposition, not is able to diversify and projected nationally.
The current circumstances are forcing the opposition to reconsider new fields of action, since the release of several political prisoners and the announcement of some economic measures by the government have reduced the country's political tension. This involves considering more comprehensive projects, involving structural changes such as local opposition.
Recent events in Venezuela will reflect on the Cuban opposition, as there is no way to get to democracy if it is not part of the internationally established structures, starting from the first base unit, the municipalities. The municipalities are the embryo of a democratic society, there will come a time when our opposition so understand and work begins interaction with the population. Only then we will be participating in the democratic process, that if the opposition does not, at any time it implements the scheme and it will be late for our democratic aspirations.
