Political scientist Julio M. Shiling denounces the impunity of socialism and the passivity of the United States in responding to crises such as those in Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua.

The Iberosphere faces the challenge of overthrowing three socialist dictatorships without strong U.S. support.

The brutal wave of repression in Cuba against demonstrators demanding answers to the socio-political and economic crisis on the island has forced the White House administration to focus its attention on a troubled region that has not been among its priorities, exacerbated in the last year and a half by pandemics, migration and repression by authoritarian regimes accused of committing crimes against humanity.

The embargo HAS worked. A few days ago the Foreign Affairs Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives held a hearing ► to discuss the recent rebellion in Cuba.

Among the guests was, in addition to our admired Rosa María Payá, Mr. -should I say compañero?- José Miguel Vivanco, director for the Americas region of the Human Rights Watch organization.

The verb "to watch" in English is to watch, but it is also to look, as when we watch a film with a wax paper tub full of popcorn and a cold soda next to us.

It seems that, with respect to the human rights situation in Cuba, Mr. Vivanco has dedicated himself more to see than to watch. I say this because in his deposition (ambiguity of the term) before the House Committee, Mr. Vivanco devoted a good part of his time to criticize the famous embargo.

"13 de Marzo" Tugboat Massacre.
37 innocent Cubans were murdered by the Castro brothers' regime in the "March 13 Tugboat Massacre" perpetrated on July 13, 1994: 10 children between the ages of 5 months and 12 years, plus 27 adolescents and adults between the ages of 17 and 50.
The saddest and most shameful thing is to see how today many rub shoulders with, relate to and negotiate with the murderers and others who demand the lifting of the embargo and sanctions against the dictatorship without demanding the prosecution of those guilty of such an abominable crime.

Forbidden to forget!

Cuba arrests activists as government blames unrest on U.S. interference.

• Streets quiet after unusual protests at weekend
• At least 100 arrested - rights group
• Cuban government blames U.S. for sanctions, backing opposition
• U.S. stands with Cuban people, says Biden

HAVANA, July 12 (Reuters) - Cuba blamed historic protests that took place over the weekend on U.S. "economic asphyxiation" and detained some of the highest profile activists, while the Biden administration said it supported the Cuban people's right to demonstrate.

The streets of Havana were quiet on Monday, although there was a heavy police presence and the capitol building, where more than a thousand had congregated the day before, was cordoned off. Outages in mobile internet - the only way many Cubans have of accessing the web - were frequent.
