The show was announced in advance. Reina Luisa Tamayo would testify in Washington about the death of her son Orlando Zapata, who passed away at a Havana hospital in February 2010, as a consequence of clinical complications derived from voluntary starvation. It was interesting enough for not few people, that just some hours before her trip to the Imperial capital, a news wire revealed Reina Luisa´s sense of unease, since she was distressed about the “shrinking” (financial) assistance she had been receiving from the United States, while at present none of her relatives has a job to provide sustain over the next few months. This actually was a masterpiece by the advisors of Reina Luisa; the message was loud and clear: those who intend to use my services will have to meet their payment promises, Reina´s lament suggested. Once these grounds were publically set by Reina Luisa Tamayo, she gave the testimony prepared for the occasion by the Cuban-American mafia. Her statements could not miss including the request for support of the economic blockade of Cuba. “We can not lift the embargo on the Castros; we need to strengthen it.”Doesn´t it seem contradictory that someone demands respect for human rights and at the same time calls for the stiffening of a genocide-aimed policy against a whole nation? Will Reina Luisa also call for blocking the subvention of those who, within Cuba, take part of the dirty game of the anti-cuba industry? And this is a good question! |
