Pedro Sánchez supports with his silence the repression of the brutal communist dictatorship in Cuba

Cuba cannot take it anymore. Hundreds of thousands of people have taken to the streets to say “enough” and demand “freedom.” The Castro dictatorship led by Miguel Diaz-Canel It has subjected citizens to hunger and misery, a situation further aggravated by the coronavirus pandemic. The Cubans, fed up, have decided to confront the tight government control by staging massive protests in Havana. Pedro Sánchez has not posted a single tweet to support Cubans.

Fidel Castro and the Cuban revolution led the communism to the country on January 1, 1959. The more than 60 years of Castroism have plunged the country into a critical situation that has led Cubans to take to the streets. The parties and leaders of the center right and the right in Spain (Vox, PP and Citizens) have already shown their condemnation of the repression. A condemnation that is not found in the parties that govern Spain.

That We can does not pronounce on the popular protests against the Cuban regime is not surprising. Those of Ione Grass They are firm defenders of the communist dictatorship and their leaders have made this clear when they are questioned by Cuba. An example: the minister Alberto Garzon He even said in 2012 that “the only model of sustainable consumption” was the Cuban one.

What is striking, or not, is that the Spanish Socialist Worker’s Party do not condemn what is happening in Cuba and be silent for an answer. A ‘strategy’ that can be interpreted in two ways: either they are supporters and ‘friends’ of the Castro communists or they do not get wet so as not to bother their partners in the coalition.

Whatever it is, the truth is that thousands of users on social networks have demanded that the President of the Government, Pedro Sanchez, to pronounce on what happened, but after a weekend full of protests, the socialist leader has not yet spoken early this Monday. Just as the PSOE has done as a party.

What happened in Cuba could also be a good premiere for the new foreign minister appointed this Saturday after the profound remodeling of the socialist part of the Government. Jose Manuel Albares It has not been pronounced either and the official account of the Ministry either.

Sánchez’s relationship with Cuba

If we go back to almost three years ago, to November 2018, we could find one of the reasons why Sánchez submits to communism. At that time the President of the Government was meeting with the Cuban dictator, Miguel Diaz-Canel, on his official trip to the island.

It was the first visit of a Spanish head of government to Cuba in almost three decades and Sánchez submitted to all communist protocols. After his meeting with the dictator, he agreed to deepen bilateral relations between the two countries. In addition, the pact established annual contacts held alternately in Madrid and Havana, headed by ministers or secretaries of state of both nations.

A gesture of the closeness of this Government with Cuba We found it just a year ago. In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and with Spain completely out of supply, Sánchez decided to export 41,738 protection equipment against covid to the island.
