Cuba Libre
Machine translation from the original, not yet reviewed by the author.
Original in Spanish
It is going to burst open somewhere: guerrillas, a coup d’état, riots, I don’t know. But blow up it will, no doubt about it. The Cuban people are hungry for food and hungry for justice. The tourism money keeps the fat cats of the regime fat, but those dollars that come in with the tourists do not trickle down to the people (except by way of the jinetera1). You cannot keep a people naked, hungry and repressed for so long. It is high time Cuba was free. What a pity that freedom in Cuba will be won, once again, with blood and fire!
Notes
- jinetera: in Cuba, a woman who sells sex to foreign tourists. ↩
