Spain and Cuba: the failure of appeasement. How do Spain and Europe want to accompany Cuba in the medium and long term? By collaborating with the repressors or by stopping them in their tracks?
Almost a month after the historic protests in Cuba, the international community -Spain included- is still digesting how to respond to an eventuality of which everyone was warned. Meanwhile, thousands of citizens have been arbitrarily detained, fined or sentenced in summary trials, and the regime of Miguel Diaz-Canel is trying to heat up the streets with meager demonstrations of support that the newspaper El Pais, however, describes as a "mass bath".

Cuba and foreign interference. On the occasion of the massive popular protests in Cuba last July 11, several claims arose on the island and in exile seeking support or participation of foreign actors in the solution of the Cuban problem.
Historically, revolutions and struggles against non-democratic regimes have sought and obtained some kind of foreign support or action. Let us begin with the Castro "revolution" itself, which obtained an important donation of arms from the government of José Figueres of Costa Rica. In the declassified Kremlin archives there is information that it was the Soviet Union that actually made the contribution by taking out US weapons that were stored in Czechoslovakia and had them delivered to Costa Rica in a chartered cargo ship. Fidel Castro called those weapons "the salvation" of the guerrillas in the Sierra Maestra.
