Response to Castroism's reaction to the film Plantados. Only an ignorant person of the Cuban reality can deny the content of the film Plantados.

They have been so annoyed by the impact of the film and the fact that it is already being seen in Cuba, that they felt obliged to throw the usual mud at it.

On Thursday, March 18, the Castroist newspaper Granma published an article under the byline of Rolando Perez Betancourt, criticizing the film "Plantados" by director Lilo Vilaplana. The first indication of the displeasure (and evidently, the anger) of the Castro gerontocracy is the article itself. They have been so annoyed by the impact caused by the film and that, in addition, some are already watching it in Cuba, that they felt obliged to throw the usual mud at it. The dictatorship does not quite understand that the Cuban people know them very well and know that if the regime criticizes or attacks something, it is because that something is effective. That was Fidel Castro's tactic: he criticized, but did not allow the people to see or read the object of criticism. The old ostrich stupidity. But, this time they have not been able to hide the cause of their anger.

Why Meliá abandons one of its best hotels in Cayo Guillermo?
Nobody saw the disaffiliation of the Meliá Cayo Guillermo hotel coming. Will the Spanish company's decision have to do with its human rights policy?

HAVANA, Cuba. - According to its most recent management report, dated December 31, 2020, Meliá Hotels International has disaffiliated three hotels in Cuba. In the last few hours, the news has been replicated in several media inside and outside the island.

The document recently published by Meliá tersely mentions the "scarce commercial opportunities" and the "operational problems faced" as causes for such a decision; however, in none of the reports prior to 2020 did the Spanish company give any indication of having started such disaffiliation process, not even in the report of the Interim Financial Statements of June 30, 2020.
