Cuban dissidents, pessimistic about the VI Congress of the Communist Party

Cuba's peaceful opposition in fact notes with face discussions of the Sixth Congress of the Communist Party, who started at 4 pm on April 16 at the Palace of Conventions in Havana. For the doctor dissident Oscar Elias Biscet, recently released after twelve years in prison total, the meeting of the Communists may be interesting reading.

"But as always in Cuba, it will take to complete. Giving a forecast, as well as being risky, could be wrong. The government of Raul Castro is moving in a line of indecipherable code. I am cautious. I'd rather see what goes on Congress. Although I am not optimistic at all, "said Biscet. Dimas Castellanos independent analyst thinks that some chips will move in the partisan appointment.

"But there is an element that the Government lost sight of. Any real and profound change in economic matters must be supported by a range of freedoms, human rights. Otherwise, you will be running around in mime site," said . Castellanos is interesting some economic policies being carried out.

"The government has been forced to reform their own reforms, as in the case of Act 259, and foresee that these contradictions will sharpen the same as the timid reforms forward. The regime has entered a dark tunnel and during progress will have to improvise. befall new changes. Castro made the concessions that have to do to stay in power.

That is, "he argues. The lawyer and independent blogger Diversent Larisa saw on TV in the corner of my eye the VI session of Congress. At home, located in the village of Calvary, among a mountain of documents and a thermos coffee, processed several legal cases. "I'm on the side of those who do not expect anything important to this Congress.

The Government long ago was the deadline expired. Trying to buy time. Can small remedies are approved unimportant to the precarious economy, like housing and auto sales. They should also amend the Constitution in sections on the use of the workforce in the particular sector, "said Diversent." But it sounds like more of the same.

From a military parade renovated old weapons headed to an appointment by a geriatric fraternity, which only seeks to maintain control of changes. In his rearview mirror are seeing street riots in northern Africa. And that makes them more fearful. I have no hope that Raul Castro's government made necessary changes and deep, "he said Diversent.

Miriam Leyva, a former civil servant and journalist, gives the benefit of the doubt to the Government. But as the generality of the opposition in Cuba, is skeptical. What else wanted in the Sixth Congress core issues arise. I doubt it. The Government only wants to keep tied the situation.

" Something more expectant, economist Oscar Espinosa Chepe, expected to emerge from Congress recently inaugurated measures to revive the local economy. "But Raul Castro has given a very accurate forecast, stating that to maintain the momentum, the country would collapse. I agree with him that the nation is on the brink," he said.

"The point is what we do to keep from falling. The measures of job cuts, fiscal budget and expansion of self-employment was necessary, but are poorly implemented. I'm optimistic by nature. But to go take a moribund economy, undercapitalized and a technology park behind it will need more than minimal concessions and the sale of houses and cars, "said Chepe.

Perhaps the dissent is the public more aware each day of the Sixth Congress. A large segment of the population that breakfast coffee without milk is concentrated in the final of the baseball championship, while housewives are broken head for a pound of pork available for the whole family.

Foreign correspondents pass by Havana are more optimistic that the Cubans themselves. The question hangs in the air is how long will it take to complete the next Congress. Between the V and VI there was a divergence of 14 years. Then take dissidents accounts. According to his calculations, this may be the last.
