<p>The world trembled as Bad Bunny marched onto the field at the Super
Bowl, in front of millions of spectators, with flags from every country
in the Americas, in a performance that, while a kick to imperialism,
will only find dry dust in liberal enthusiasm. While the Puerto Rican
singer fired off in Spanish, across the Gulf of Mexico, Cuba was
announcing that it has run out of jet fuel.<span id="gmail-more-33616"></span></p>
<p>This medieval siege by the United States is an intolerable aggression
that suffocates a people and will not have the indignation of a bubble
used to bring its solidarity to the compass of what Washington or
Brussels says. Let me be clear: I support the Cuban revolution. However,
regardless of what we think of the Cuban political model, this is an
intolerable aggression that is leaving ambulances without fuel,
universities without electricity, and entire neighborhoods without
power.</p>
<p>Once again, after allowing genocide in Gaza, extrajudicial killings
in the Caribbean Sea, and the kidnapping of a president, we are allowing
our leaders, with their selective indifference, to lead us into the
abyss.</p>
<p>The problem with Cuba is not democracy or the lack thereof, because
we already realize that this is not what guides the political empathy of
the United States or the European Union.</p>
<p>I\u2019ll tell you why I think Cuba is the most beautiful country in the
world. After being elected president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela
visited Fidel Castro in Havana and rebuked him. How is it that the
leader of the Cuban Revolution had not yet visited his South African
homeland, he asked. Mandela recalled that Cuba had trained ANC fighters
who fought against apartheid. When Fidel finally decided to visit South
Africa, he passed through several other countries that welcomed him as a
hero. Why?</p>
<p>In the 1960s, Cuba supported the liberation of countries such as
Algeria and Guinea-Bissau. In the 1970s and 1980s, thousands of Cubans
fought in Angola against the South African invasion and defeated the
apartheid regime at Cuito Cuanavale. For countries such as Namibia, this
victory was fundamental to their independence.</p>
<p>Cuba built hospitals in Vietnam and supported resistance struggles
throughout Latin America, including Puerto Rico. It helped hide Black
Panthers and outlaws from around the world, such as Assata Shakur. They
treated thousands of children affected by the Chernobyl nuclear
accident. In many countries in the Global South, the only doctors the
poorest people have ever seen in their lives have been Cuban.</p>
<p>When an Ebola epidemic broke out in Sierra Leone, Cuban doctors were
the only ones who dared to confront the disease alongside the
populations. Facing a health crisis unprecedented in decades, when
Covid-19 broke out, Italy was forced to ask Cuba for help.</p>
<p>How can a small island blockaded for more than half a century by the
world\u2019s greatest power, without significant natural resources, manage to
eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV? How can it be one of the
countries with the lowest infant mortality rate? How can it have an
average life expectancy on par with most developed countries?</p>
<p>If this doesn\u2019t interest you, remember that Bad Bunny would not exist
without Cuba. Many of the sounds we hear today that come from the
Caribbean, including Puerto Rico, were born with the Cuban son, which,
with the immigrant community in New York, gave birth to what is known as
salsa and was fundamental to the arrival of reggaeton.</p>
<p>The fact that the world turns a blind eye to what is happening in
Cuba, including some of the countries that received aid from Havana,
subject to Washington\u2019s taxes, is one of the greatest proofs of
ingratitude of this century. Cuba has often given up its park resources
to stand with the people of the world. It is time for the peoples of the
world to demand even more firmly an end to the siege and blockade.</p>
