HAVANA, Cuba.- As of late I’ve to handle the subject of the 3rd and ultimate a part of the interview granted by way of Miguel Díaz-Canel to the Spanish-French journalist Ignacio Ramonet, which premiered on Cuban Tv this Friday. I considered specializing in the problems of world family members that, because the aforementioned informant introduced, would represent the core of that ultimate supply, however I confess that, after being attentive to the 3 portions of the discussion, there used to be any other factor, it appears very a long way from the questions requested and the solutions given, which used to be the person who to start with captured my consideration.
So it sort of feels suitable first of all that unique subject: that of toy canines meant to be put in in numerous automobiles, which have been very in style years in the past. As those gadgets are provided with a shifting head, it strikes incessantly (typically up and down) whilst the automobile or truck strikes. It’s not for not anything that they’re recognized in English as “nodding canines”, and in Spanish as “perros transfer heads”.
This closing time period can have change into in style in our Motherland or in sister international locations in Latin The us. No longer in Cuba. All of our compatriots, with the unsurpassed capability for mockery and jokes that characterizes us, coin a miles shorter, extra relaxed and correct synonym: “randy.” We face a notable case of antonomasia, and realizing how this correct title was a not unusual one will permit us to see into one of the vital murky interiors of the so-called “respectable press of socialism.”
It’s the case that Mr. Randy Alonso is the “journalist” (by some means the job he carries out will have to be known as) who’s in control of the “Spherical Desk” of Cuban Tv. This can be a program that could be a thousand miles from the concept involves thoughts when that title is discussed in a regular nation: that of a civilized debate between other folks with opposing concepts on a given subject. Within the “spherical tables” of our Island, the entire members be in agreement.
Years in the past, the nonetheless “Most Chief” every now and then attended the aforementioned program (wherein case, after all! He used to be the one one that spoke). And on such events it used to be value seeing how, from the instant the nature started to talk and till he fell silent (this is, from the start of this system till its conclusion), Mr. Alonso stored making emphatic statements along with his head. gestures of assent, expressing vigorous settlement with the whole thing expressed by way of “the Commander in Leader.”
Those very transparent indicators of submission and obedience to Energy didn’t cross overlooked by way of the Cubans, and it used to be thus that the title of the Castro-communist agitator served to designate the aforementioned canines. Those remembrances are related since the perspective assumed by way of Ramonet earlier than his interviewee is just too harking back to the poses of “Randy” earlier than his liked Commander.
It’s true that such a lot of gestures of conformity and compliance, in addition to the little realizing smiles that the Spanish-French didn’t spare earlier than the Cuban boss, talk very badly of a journalist who – it’s assumed – desires to mission a picture {of professional} objectivity in regards to the problems addressed within the interview. Briefly, the one factor that Don Ignacio printed used to be his ideological id or even his complicity with the interviewee.
However let’s go back to the overall bankruptcy of the journalistic supply. His subject—I insist—used to be “world politics.” On the other hand, Ramonet controlled to start out his interrogation by way of enjoying the glad “embargo-blockade” once more. The problem of COVID-19 additionally got here up once more… Regardless of the repetitions, the one factor that used to be imaginable to shed light on used to be the intense irresponsibility and absolute loss of objectivity with which the island’s government manner the essential factor of family members between our nation and the nice neighbor to the north (by way of a long way an important of our bilateral ties).
At one level within the interview, Díaz-Canel flatly said: “Cuba has now not affected the US”; “Cuba has now not taken any measures in opposition to the US Executive.” And he finished the speculation: “the Executive of the US used to be the person who unilaterally imposed the blockade, due to this fact, the Executive of the US is the person who has to unilaterally take away the blockade. We don’t ask for favors nor do we need to make any gesture to have the blockade got rid of…”
Letting himself be over excited by way of his personal phrases and the most obvious settlement of Ramonet, the Cuban president, regarding Latin The us and the Caribbean, went as far as to verify: “We’ve got despatched docs and academics, internationalist collaborators additionally in engineering and in different fields of the financial system. …”.
Since Díaz-Canel does now not conceal to proclaim that he presides over a “Continuity” executive, we must ask him: And what are you able to let us know concerning the “anti-Yankee” coverage maintained in any respect prices for many years (which incorporated coaching and sending “guerrillas” of a wide variety to struggle the allied governments of the US all over Latin The us)! Or what concerning the intimate friendship maintained till as of late with any regime that confronts the “Nice Devil”, whether or not it’s the Russian imperialists or the dust ayatollahs!… Will Díaz-Canel suppose that those unfriendly movements also are subsumable inside of of the speculation “Cuba has now not affected the US”!
However, after all, none of that used to be requested by way of Ramonet, who, within the section dedicated to “world politics”, additionally didn’t elevate the present primary subject of the latter: the barbaric warfare of aggression unleashed by way of the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in opposition to the impartial Ukraine. . Nor that of the Israel-Hamas warfare, initiated by way of the no much less barbaric assault of this newest 15 May Organization in opposition to the Jewish State, on October 7.
I need to end this little paintings by way of quoting the overall paragraph of the admirable article by way of colleague Ana León printed proper right here in CubaNet closing Friday: “For us, who know what’s there and what’s coming, it isn’t in any respect peculiar that Díaz-Canel raves or lies with such aplomb. However {that a} revered journalist, regardless of how dedicated he’s to left-wing actions, accepts the statements of a head of state as just right with out wondering them or in quest of different resources of data to get to the reality of items, says so much about how unworthy he may also be. “It might probably change into any career if it permits itself to be ruled by way of ideological pursuits.”
