No one celebrated the naming of socialist politician Michelle Bachelet as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights more than Cuba’s Castro dictatorship. The communist Cuban regime had no doubt their longtime friend, political ally, and defender would look the other way at their human rights violations and brutal repression.
As the human rights organization Prisoners Defenders points out, the Castros weren’t wrong about that.
Prisoners Defenders calls on Bachelet to pick a side on human rights violations in Cuba
The non-governmental organization Prisoners Defenders, which monitors the condition of political prisoners in Cuba, called on the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, to pick a side regarding the human rights violations on the island.
Javier Larrondo, the director of the Madrid-based NGO, told Radio Television Martí that Bachelet has been too permissive with the Castro regime, endorsing their participation in different forums and international councils at the UN.
In the opinion of the Cuban-Spanish investor and philanthropist, the former president of Chile has overlooked the constant human rights violations against activists, members of the opposition, political prisoners, and the general population. The majority of those violations have been carried out by State Security, an entity that “operates on the margins of the law and answers only to the Cuban dictator.”
Larrondo also emphasized the recent findings by four rapporteurs from the Working Group on Arbitrary Detentions regarding violations of religious freedom on the island.
“Cuban officials have received orders not to respond to the UN . . . That is the modus operandi of State Security, always looking for ways to hide the truth . . . The systematic violation of human rights in Cuba cannot be denied.”

Oh, La Zorra picked her side ages ago, and everyone knows what it is.
Still, she at least *looks* reasonably professional and role-appropriate, meaning she’s not as painfully ghastly as Cretina Kirchner, let alone the Murillo horror in Nicaragua. It’s not much, but when it comes to Latrine politicians, that seems to be the most one can expect.
Indeed, she is certainly more educated and presentable than the rest of the Latrine pack. However, her selective indignation and shamelessness is equally grotesque.
I’ll never forget how, during a PBS interview, she affirmed that Latin America no longer has dictatorships. Of course, she needed a false premise to form the basis of a propagandistic argument or syllogism – typical of socialists.
After all, most of her leftist friends from the heyday of the Foro de São Paulo (Chavez, Lula, Evo, Ortega, Castro…) have been sent to the dustbin of history, while the rest desperately hangs on for dear life.
Not to mention that Bachelet’s popularity during her last months as President of Chile were the lowest of any Chilean administration.
That said, the morally corrupt U.N. is as credible as she is, as in not credible at all. Thus, it is only suiting that a bad actor such as her is most qualified to play pretend.
Even if she has to reluctantly state the obvious regarding Castro Inc. and Cubazuela, it will be done as a formality and a means to an end.
