Founder of Ladies in White prevented from visiting her mother in socialist Cuba

From our Great Moments in Socialist Compassion Bureau

Here we go again.

A Cuban dissident who hasn’t been able to visit her mother for the past fifteen years was denied the right to travel to the island.

Despite all of the noise made by Castro, Inc. twenty years ago about the sacred integrity of family ties — in order to “reunite” Elian Gonzalez with his father — the tyrants who rule Cuba have never, ever cared about families.

Worse than that, the Castro regime has always delighted in breaking up families.

Castronoid-Clintonesque Family Values

I once had the opportunity of asking one of Fidel’s closest associates, Carlos Franqui, why the top brass of the Castro regime intentionally prevented thousands of Cuban parents from reuniting with their Pedro Pan children in the U.S..

Franqui, who served as a propaganda minister to Fidel before being purged, responded to my question with a huge smile on his face:

We did it because anything that would destroy the bourgeois family was good for us.”

Yeah. And nothing has changed in over sixty years.

Long live socialism! Feel the Bern!

From EN24:

The Cuban government banned the entry to the Island of Claudia Marquez Linares, one of the founders of Damas de Blanco, who was preparing to travel to Cuba from Puerto Rico, where she lives 15 years ago, Radio Television Marti reported .

Marquez Linares thus adds to the list of 223 regulated to which the government of Cuba does not allow to enter or leave the Island for political reasons. On this occasion, agents of the Copa Airlines airline informed him in Panama that from Havana they sent an email to say that she could not enter the country, says Marti’s note.

Claudia Marquez was traveling to the Island to visit her mother, whom she has not seen since leaving Cuba as a political refugee in 2005.

The Cuban had flown from San Juan to Panama, where she would take another flight to Havana, but was notified before addressing the denial of the communist regime.

Claudia Marquez, in 2003 an independent journalist in Cuba, founded the Damas de Blanco group together with seven other women. The initiative came after her husband, Osvaldo Alfonso, was sentenced to 18 years in prison during the repressive wave known as the Black Spring of Cuba.

The communist island closed the year 2019 with at least 223 “regulated” people, a term that the regime uses to justify the ban on citizens who prevent them from going abroad without an apparent legal reason, or entering from any country.

This repression measure has outraged activists and opponents on the Island, who last August launched a social media campaign labeled # NiUnReguladoMas.

In this group of “forbidden” are independent journalists, activists, opponents, members of civil society, and anyone who believes that the dictatorship of Havana does not promulgate the communist ideas of the high Castro flat.

Hey…. quit exposing our real agenda!

  1. Yes, the Elián business was a screaming scam, but when it’s so easy to “fool” people, who’s really at fault, the scammer or the all-too-willing “suckers”? Certainly, it’s been crystal-clear for quite some time that “those people” were perfectly correct as to what was really going on and what would happen if the child was sent back, but even though nobody can claim cluelessness now, they still don’t give a shit.
