It is strange how things are below the media’s radar.
Cuba will decide today whether to accept or reject a draft new constitution that recognises the free market. The new constitution formalises these recent changes by recognising private property. Previously, possible forms of property were state, cooperative, personal or joint ventures.
the new charter also limits the president to serving two consecutive five-year terms, creates the position of prime minister to oversee day-to-day state affairs, introduces a presumption of innocence in the judicial system, and extends a ban on discrimination to include on the basis of sexuality and gender identity.
An earlier draft enshrined marriage equality, but the version to be put to a vote removed the clause and delayed defining marriage in response to Catholic church opposition.An earlier draft of the Constitution omitted communism, instead describing Cuba’s aspirations as socialist. But after the popular consultation, the phrase stating Cuba’s objective of “advancing toward a communist society” was added to the version to be put to a vote. This was a result of popular demand to maintain the “aspiration” of building a “more just, more inclusive society” through communism.
It has been in the back burner for several years, it was one of the several disagreements between the Cuban leadership and Ernesto Che Guevara. His grandson who was an anarchist living in Mexico indicated that between his grandfather, Fidel Castro and the Cuban leadership there were profound ideological differences since he considered that Cuba was taking a different route. The USA media will never indicate that Cuba is a typical capitalist society, and neither the Cuban living in Miami who want the USA to overthrow the government. There are some Cuban in Miami, New York, and New Jersey who have emigrated to the USA who are supporters of Cuba and they are Castroists, and Guevaraists and they want the USA to lift the embargo, and they do not support a USA military intervention in Cuba
New threats from Trump
And pushing the Cuban leadership to implement more capitalist reforms and to give more concessions to the USA capitalists to avoid regime change The future China of the Caribbean region.
The Russians are making heavy investments In Cuba , the usa doesn’t want the Russians and the Chinese in its backyard, and India is also challenging the USA , they don’t want to deal with the owner of the circus , they want to deal with the clowns
Haiti is one example when people went to the streets carring pictures of Vladimir Putin and shouting long live Putin and Russia and Haiti has the minerals that Russia wants
Donald trump is always on the campaign trail with this move he will try to obtain the votes of the Democrats living in Florida as well he is a campaigning to obtain the votes of the blacks in the USA by creating division among the Latinos
The real national emergency are not the Latinos crossing the border, the national emergency is the possible victory of the Democrats in 2020
He had the opportunity to get all the money for the wall when the republicans were the majority in the Congress and now they are saying that all the money has vanished
