In Havana there are people very alarmed by the real possibility that Donald Trump will once again be president of the United States. The matter, at the very least, disconcerts me, adding suspicions of affiliation with the thick-collared bureaucrats who govern in the Plaza de la Revolución. These people causa shame.
But I cannot sit quietly and enjoy Milei's great oratory goal from Washington, finishing off the summit of the Conservative Action Political Conference, CPAC, after the masterful assistance that Bukele gave him yesterday, in the best Messi style, If there was the miracle of seeing them together at the same soccer game in front of the door.
We are talking about two presidents at the forefront of political thought on the planet, plus one whose presence floats in the air to the point that it is unnecessary to highlight his name.
I never forget the eve of the elections in the United States-2020- the global expectation of a close race like never before seen between Democrats and Republicans
In the Plaza where Fidel Castro made and unmade, until he left a country in ruins and died without giving a damn about the fate of the living, the small testicles of the president handed over by Raúl Castro, Mr. Díaz-Canel, did not let him breathe, stuck in his throat, just thinking about the redhead's possible re-election.

In memory of Mario Chanes de Armas, the longest-held Cuban political prisoner in contemporary history.
Every February 24th, Cubans celebrate the beginning of our last war for independence in 1895. Before that, there were two others, the so-called Ten Years’ War, from 1868 to 1878, and the Little War, between 1879 and 1880.
Unlike in the USA, we didn’t wait to win the war to create a civilian government, governed by a constitution; we had four constitutions while fighting for freedom since October 10, 1868.
The architect of February 24th was Jose Marti, the founding father of our nation. Marti was a liberal democrat, equally sympathetic to the impoverished sectors of society. However, he opposed the Marxist idea of class struggle, condemning the possibility of the socialist state, calling it “future slavery”.
Just arrived in New York, he recounts his first impressions upon seeing the Statue of Liberty, in January 1880, at the young age of 27, in The Hour magazine:
“I am finally in a country where everyone seems to be their own master. One can breathe freely here, because freedom is the foundation, shield, essence of life. Here one can be proud of his species. I never felt surprised in any country I visited. Here, I was surprised.”
