Détente, reversals and stagnation, forward or backward step in relations with Washington. These are the possible political outcome of the verdict and the implementation of the sentence that a Havana court must issue from tomorrow in case Alan Gross, the U.S. contractor arrested on 61 December 3, 2009 on charges of spying be distributed via satellite telecommunications equipment between dissent.
The hearing was opened on Friday and resumed yesterday with the foresight to conclude on the day. Prosecutor demands 20 years in prison against the U.S. for "acts against the independence or territorial integrity of the state." From the time of the arrest of Gross, the issue became to Washington in the great casus belli for the conflict with Cuba's Raul Castro era.
"It is the main obstacle" to progress in the relationship, said the State Department. The incumbent, Hillary Clinton, repeated at the opening of the trial, the demand for "unconditional release" of the Executive. For Washington, the only thing that Alan Gross made in Cuba before his arrest was "help increase the free flow of information to, from and among the Cuban people", more specifically, the subcontractor would have provided Internet equipment to members of the Jewish community in the island.
For Raul Castro, however, Gross served as "a spy" and aggressor to Cuban sovereignty by providing sophisticated satellite communications equipment elements of internal dissent in order to encourage subversion. Despite his persistent condemnation of the arrest and long imprisonment preventive Gross-up without formal charges that the prosecutor gave a month ago, "the Administration was confident Obama reached a relatively satisfactory resolution of the problem.
It was in January, after talks in speaking migrant Assistant Secretary of the Department of State, Roberta Jacobson, who spoke with Cuban officials and visited Gross in his detention center. After both meetings, Jacobson said he was "cautiously optimistic" about the possibility that this was tried briefly and then repatriated on humanitarian grounds.
Upon learning of the prosecutor's request, also former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, former U.S. ambassador. UU. to the UN and frequent travelers to Havana, opted for this release "humanitarian" when sentencing. And he said that if Raul Castro ordered the pardon, bilateral relations would progress immediately.
In the eyes of Havana, the Gross case is an expression of the new-style offense that EE. UU. would be pitching against Cuba by supporting the brand new cyber-dissidents, to understand more effective than the traditional opposition. That would concentrate a significant portion of the budget of 20 million U.S.
dollars. UU. program intended to support the "efforts to the democratization of Cuba." Alan Gross worked for the organization Development Alternatives Inc., hired in turn by the government's Agency for International Development under the program. Gross attended the trial of his wife Judy and legal and consular representatives.
