It is hardly difficult for the Spanish government to assert itself as the main actor of any possible change in Cuba (as it has claimed in Venezuela), given that Havana’s politics oscillate between irrelevance and silence.
There are more than a thousand political representatives on the island. Since 2021, when the exteriors tibally responded to the suppression of massive protests, they have had almost no pronunciation.
Yes, Minister Jose Manuel Albares presented a pompous global human rights agenda based on generalities and concrete actions.
Spain did not devote financial or political resources to the promotion of democracy and human rights in Cuba. It is, however, a subsidy to the Central de Trabajadores de Cuba (CTC), controlled by the Communist Party.
The goal, the documents say, is a “Sindian fortification”.
what is it Is it the only union that represents patronage interests?

Under this sign of inaction, Minister Albares took to the extreme the state policy supported by his predecessors Miguel Angel Moratinos, Trinidad Jimenez, José Manuel García-Margallo y Arantxa González Lay.
For example, Moratinos dissected the call The position of the European Community. Brussels, which is against the economic embargo, also refused to exercise political control.
García-Margallo, instead of correcting him, was exposed to the wagon low perfil tras el imprisonment in Cuba leader Angel Carromero (PP).
From the bottom always asoma (between hoces and hammers, red roses or blue gaviotas) the spirit of the old French order: “No toquen a Cuba”. The order contains only por Jose Maria Aznar.
Today, the People’s Party, with an absolute majority in the upper chamber, refuses to withdraw the gold medal awarded by the Senate Fidel Castro in 1987. Can you repair your return to power?
Nadie knows because Alberto Núñez Feijóo He didn’t utter a single word, nor did he manage to open channels with the numerous Cuban exiles rooted in Spain, the next day to Vox.
Si España is looking for reeditar la Ripe fruit theoryde John Quincy Adams (1823), the first is to consider his riesgos.
The theory was advanced that Cuba, separated from the metropolis, would not be able to support itself and would necessarily gravitate toward the United States like a ripe fruit falling to the ground under its own weight.
“España has not dedicated financial or political resources to promoting DDHH in Cuba, but is subordinate to authorities controlled by the Communist Party”
Decades have passed since Madrid had a positive impact on the islandexcept salida migratory. Ya no siquiera plods the excarcelaciones of political prisoners in the old style Manuel Fraga or Felipe Gonzalez.
The absence of a critical agenda with the Cuban dictation sheds a deliberate immobilism in the hope that it will bear ripe fruit, especially with significant effects on the tragic year 1898 in Spain.
However, a stance more favorable to the transition to democracy is seen as a better option than crossing arms, humiliating Cuban opponents and sometimes irritating the United States.
Without avoiding the ideological residues and errors of primary anti-Americanism, the Spanish position has always been attributed to the defense of economic interests. That’s totally legit. whenever and when they are not protected from human rights violations.
The Spanish government knows that there are no risks to foreign capital, except for derivatives collapse. It is therefore a mistake of politeness to imagine reprisals against the Spanish businessman for a more coherent policy from Madrid.
The situation of investors today could not be worse, trapped in a conspiracy that prevents the return of benefits, the difficult import of ministers and the lack of at least an attractive national market due to induced poverty.
As a positive point, it can be argued that the tourism inversion has brought success to Cuba know-how Spanish. However, it could actually be approved by Gaesa, a military member controlled by the family Raul Castro.
You know that capitalism is a practice limited to a little.
Spanish hotel companies are caught up in what could be the worst business in their history. Being there four decades from now offers no future opportunity, and certainly not in the midst of a new international order.
“Spanish businessman linked to Cuban dictatorship could face opposition from adidas in case of political change”
Can you make deals with dictation while not becoming your own propagandist?
The thesis seems impossible for anyone. Foreign business leaders accepted the report and the award Fidel Castro. And more.
In the twentieth century, hoteliers carried out the Castro regime to prevent Cubans from entering their establishments. Therefore, they adopted escam (condemned by international organizations as “a form of modern slavery”), which allows the regime to keep the largest part of the salaries.
These actions based on various experts are against the laws of Spain, the European Union and the International Trade Organization (OIT).
Fidel Castro said this to ex-president González, then he told me this last in an interview which he “worked better” with Spanish businessmen than with the PSOE government.
González states that he replied to the dictator:
“You, the employers, have everything they want and leave all the barriers. For example, you have no freedom of association.” [los trabajadores] You cannot negotiate your salaries. There is no one to switch to a supplier. It makes sense that you get along well with people who allow you to do things that would be absolutely impossible to bear in another place.”
If Spain and Spain represent a positive reference for Cubans, the society associated with the decree could withstand further resistance in the event of political change.
The idea of sailing to the population before a possible democratic transition is as uncertain as any lottery.
