It is a diplomatic victory against the capricious foreigners

México. -   The festival atmosphere for at the beginning of the Cuban-American diplomatic relationships again it becomes a amazing reality, because the problem was never the bilateral encounter again, but the ceasing of the blockade imposed to the island by The states, and the cancellation was not an act of good will but the merchant's logic that looks for markets for the transnational one American. Along more than half century the Cuban government passed of the total political block, and in 1964 the regional governments accepted the line of Washington and they broke diplomatic relationships, with the island. In the plateau of the UN and with fifty years all vote above, in favor of the island, and of the rising of the blockade, except for The States and Israel.  Raul Castro considers that the reestablishment is a “great step", and the island should stay it signs so that Washington stops its sick and schizophrenic decision behind to attack to the Cuban town for the financial, economic, and commercial roads. Raul Castro, about Cuba point out “it is a sovereign state whose town decided its socialist direction and its political, economic and social system. In the same way that we have never intended that The States changes its political system, we will demand respect to ours. We accept to converse about any topic, of all that they want to discuss of here, but also of The States."  In The States they refuse to recognize and to accept Cuban government how it is, and they cling to the whim and the one sounded failure of giving in to the Cubans who have paid a high price for their dignity, and however it is worth it. So simple that it is to speak among even but The States has transformed Cuba into a hero of the Latin American resistance and the island became a besieged square from the victory of the Revolution, and after the historical fact, beginning was given to the intent of hanging wing island economically, and in form sequential impulse a terror politics: reduction of the sugar quota, yank prohibition of investments, cancellation practically of all economic help and of technological attendance, end of the oil supply and their refinement in Cuban territory, car parts, vehicles, and supply of consumption’s products diary, these situations are among other things of a project of blockade total to the inhabitants from the Cuba. For the month of January of 1961, the government from The States broke the diplomatic relationships officially, and with a compulsive obsessive care it attempted against the interests of the Cuban town. Already for April of that year it realized that it was not enough and it financed and it granted all kinds of means for the invasion of Bay of Pigs that later on failed. In this series of facts the American government, the American mafia, and the transnational producers of weapons and destruction bombs, they didn't decree it officially but in the facts it started up in the same moment that pulled up the partner's revolutionary victory Fidel Castro Ruz (FCR) and Che Guevara.    Memories of Cuba  The president of the State Council and Consultant of ministers, FCR had already put its presence in Mexico Jul 26, 1959, when the president the general Lazaro Cardenas del Rio attended the first celebration from the attack to the Moncada barracks. When arriving at the square the Cuban hymn it is listened, it stops then to continue amid a watch that presented weapons with all solemnity, (The history that I lived, Gonzalo Martinez C, p. 179). The experience and the preparation that themselves decided to make it in the lost fields of Mexico, most in Tuxpan, but also in the DF, where they were captured by Fernando Gutierrez Barrios. Commandant Castro and it trusted since when being arrested him they found in the bags of their pant names, addresses, telephones and all the data of the other partners in the adventure: the same one justified the apprehension of which were object, and however the Cardenas president made some administrations in the highest political level. When being in Tuxpan they bought a small and old boat to the one that they put it with love the name of Grandma (grandmother) that conserved during the whole voyage.   With president John F. Kennedy in February of 1962, was signed “it proclaims presidential number 3447", for what was imposed to the island the total blockade, being completed January 7, and the Yankee black hand included agreements with its allies, the nations European Westerners for useless the trade with Cuba. In this context of surrounding to the island of an unbreathable atmosphere canceled the quota sugar -700 thousand tons - and it assigned to Argentina and of the Dominican Republic the quota of Cuba again. It built the “Law of the trade with the enemy", accompanied by a doctrine McCarthy with which prohibited the import of all product elaborated with factory of the island, although they were manufactured by third, to impel the terror against the town and Cuban government, but this crisis of war they arrive to the maximum with the leader from the USSR, Nikita Krushev that placed missiles in Cuban territory to be opposed to the American empire in time of John F. Kennedy, all this likes cherry of the dessert.     In this aggression circumstance that the empire directed its fire, with Kennedy it officialism the cold war against the island, and in answer The States was able “to expel Cuba of the community of hemispheric nations", the resources of the “Alliance for the progress” were used for the purchase of votes of the Latin American countries, in sum the Cuban town came out for kind recommendation of The States of the rotten and submissive: Organization of American States. When isolating to the small island all the countries to exception of Mexico, and the American dream was achieved: to stop Cuba. According to the newspapers of the time it stood out the note, president Kennedy's rejoicing for the expulsion of the OAS, it was summed up during the eighth Meeting of consultation of the minister of external Relationships and it highlighted their big pride and satisfaction for such an achievement. In the White House, on February 1st, 1962, when landing the helicopter in which secretary of State Dean Rusk, the president traveled said to the journalists that it won great prestige for the American government, and that the encounter of chancellors was demonstrated a deep sense of the unit of the hemisphere in front of the problem of revolutionary Cuba. It was countersigned at the end with a dismal epitaph the end of the note on the island: "alone it has an option to avoid the blockade, to vary the chosen road."   After 11 tenants of the White House it was seen in the necessity of ”varying the direction” but it was the government from The States.  Of “deep unit” that Kennedy showed off, it became a gradual and growing international condemnation of the block of the empire of the north against the small island. For June of 2009, the OAS “repealed, for acclamation and without conditions, the resolution of 1962 that expelled Cuba wrongly of the Interamerican system, but in consistency of this economic and financial abuse it should be expelled The States". To already include the topic of the blockade trafficked more than half century in the calendar of the UN was achieved, in spite of to ferocious campaign of The States, against all the nations that have been pronounced in favor of concluding the cold war against this small country - nation. When for the first time in 1992, it could be placed in the notebook the topic, 59 countries voted in favor of the end of the blockade, and in the voting, we have, three in against, 71 abstentions and 46 absences. In this long one to go on pilgrimage and it makes aware of the world of the abuses of the American power, they have been increased the number of votes in favor and reduced the abstentions, absences and votes in against. For 2014, one can see that of 193 represented countries, 188 financed in favor of vat and only two in against United -States and Israel -, three abstained and they didn't register absences. Finally, the question that we all ask ourselves, will be able to it turns Cuba like State in the XXI century. (La Jornada, politica, p.p. 3-5, December 24, 2014).
