We analyze the new macabre wave of fake news, disinformation, manipulation, and lies about Cuba, about a supposed "strike" or "walkout" at Cuban universities that simply did not exist.
It's all a construction, a fabrication, a setup, a campaign constructed, once again, from the centers of power in Washington and Miami, driven by mercenary journalists and digital media financed by the US government and disseminated by the Western corporate press.
The truth? In Cuban universities, many young people expressed discontent, anger, and criticism over the internet rate hike announced by the public company ETECSA. However, both this company and the Cuban government are engaging in dialogue and negotiations with students on ways to alleviate the impact of the decision. A decision, by the way, inevitable: the Cuban state has no currency to support the networks, due to the economic war of the United States. Yes, yes, the criminal and genocidal war of those who say, from there, that they "support" some students who "protest for the tarifazo" of the Cuban government. Cynical, hypocritical, criminal.
We will review and recommend some articles that delve deeper into this matter, the first conclusion of which is: in what country in the world would a government and a telecommunications company engage in dialogue with the population after a measure of this kind that is evidently unpopular and unwanted?
But there are scoundrels who, while condemning Cuba for the alleged "tarifazo," remain silent in the face of the Trump regime's brutal repression against migrants and activists, with thousands upon thousands of police and military personnel. Alejandro Sanz, Melendi, and other mediocre figures of the showbiz bourgeoisie have been left speechless.
Tere Felipe, in a brilliant article in Diario Red, tells us: “Cuban youth have taught a lesson in political maturity. Far from conforming to binary logic, they were able to sustain a lucid and grounded critique, without giving in to interventionist logic. Their attitude demonstrates that the exercise of criticism, far from weakening the processes of transformation, actually strengthens them.”
Tere Felipe, in a brilliant article in Diario Red, tells us: "The Cuban youth have given a lesson of political maturity. Far from bending to binary logics, they knew how to sustain a lucid and situated critique, without yielding to the interventionist logic. Their attitude shows that the critical exercise, far from weakening the processes of transformation, strengthens them".
But there has been a “pattern of fourth-generation warfare: a form of unconventional aggression that replaces tanks and bombs with symbolic manipulation, emotional control, and media fabrication of the story. In this scenario, any internal dissonance becomes a proof of structural failure, especially if it comes from countries that do not align with the hegemonic neoliberal paradigm. While institutional spaces were opened in Cuba to channel youth discontent, especially through the University Student Federation (FEU, for its acronym in Spanish); orchestrated campaigns were launched outside the country".
Enrique Ubieta, for his part, in another memorable writing, tells us: "The FEU has gained leadership and leads the dialogue; dialogue with the people, joint decision-making, is the essence of the Revolution. The counter-revolution wants to harness rebellion, prevent its growth as a genuine revolutionary expression. They will not be able to turn the FEU into the Solidarity union. Their revolutionary history, and the history of the Revolution, prevent it. Cuba is something else". (Text and photo: Cubadebate)
