The eldest Lucia left – Worldys News

HAVANA, Cuba. – “The eldest Lucía” is gone; she is gone, she is not here, and apparently she did not even take the kisses of her co-stars in the soap opera Day and night. Lucía has left, and I don’t know if she received the blessing of her colleagues at the Ministry of the Interior, those who run that police program and the airports. Maikel Amelia has left, and these are the late hours when we don’t know if he will return or if he will stay there.

The answers of the Major to the questions put to her on the networks are very hesitant, they are imprecise: “I have not decided yet”, “It could be”. These are her answers, without a doubt because even in free lands she is afraid of her bosses at MININT, and also of those at Television, which is full of snitches and undercover agents.

Maikel Amelia left, like Laura in the song, and it is quite possible that she did not even take the kisses of her fellow cast members. “Major Lucía” left, as Cuban television viewers know her better by that fictional name. She left, many in Havana say, as if they were not used to the escape that is still seen as a snub, as a betrayal.

Many have left since 1959 and yet we are still overwhelmed by these soft escapes. Maikel Amelia left but Maykel Osorbo remains locked up in prison. Maikel Amelia left, even though she might not find work in Spain. Maykel Osorbo is unjustly imprisoned, because there are people like those whom she represents, and with great pleasure, on television.

The Maikel Amelia who was born in Manzanillo is gone, probably somewhere close to where Celia Sánchez was born. The policewoman Maikel Amelia is gone, like Laura in the song, and like so many others who “gave their lives to the revolutionary cause.” Maikel is gone, the one who did “justice” on Sundays on television, always protected by the photo of Fidel Castro that hangs on one of the walls of her office on the film set.

Maikel does not want to give definitive answers, and most likely will reject the possibility of showing her work portfolio with those images in which she appears dressed in the same uniform used by those who repress the Ladies in White, the very same one used by those who guard the prisons, the police stations where they take the Ladies in White, any dissident.

Maikel must be in the middle of a huge conflict and will try to go unnoticed. She will have to refuse interviews that, although they could give her some visibility, could also “get her involved.” She is in no man’s land, and she knows very well that she cannot make a mistake that would close the doors. She wants them open, because it is not unlikely that she will have to return to the set, to the office with the huge photo of Fidel Castro. Maikel Amelia will be ambiguous, she will be elusive unlike Maykel Osorbo, who is often made to spend months in a punishment cell.
