Give me a few minutes...I will translate it for you...It will take a little bit of time though...bear with me.
"The daughter of Castro sees the end"
El Salvador-
The dissident daughter of Fidel Castro maintains that the executions to dissident Cubans and the raising(?) of the criticisms to international scale are enabling the end of the revolution that as of 26 July has been compiled over the last 50 years.
"The question of the day"
There is a air (?) of cautious elation in Miami. An expectation generated almost half century ago that now, as some believe, at last will be summarized. Nobody gives a greater explanation, but all in Havana believe that now, yes, the state of Fidel Castro day's are numbered. The one that heads this thesis is the daughter of the Cuban president, Alina Fernández, who even he confessed to believe is a question of thje day.
"It does not seem to be at this moment yet , but can be inside some weeks, he says, and refuses to explain the prediction. "Things are occurring [that are disturbing] (??) , but now is not the moment to speak of that."
Has been a difficult year for Fidel Castro. The dramatic increase of balseros in search of the coasts of Florida has been united with international claims after the executions(?) of three men that abducted and embarked. (?)
Cuba has now had to swallow the criticisms of prominent writers and intellectuals that have always accompanied the revolutionary project, and that now have determined "to be descended of the ship". (?)
My translation is not perfect 'cos I'm a white brit-boy...but I think it does the trick.
Perhaps she needs to keep her big mouth shut.
-translating, hold on-
Added to it, the American administration of George W. Bush has increased the criticisms against the island, and the relations among Washington and Havana pass as its worse moment in decades. With Europe things are not much better, and only few kilometers from of its coasts in Miami, Florida, is Alina Fernández, the daughter of the commander (??) [Fidel] , who now attacks against the man that has governed the island since 1959. She does not call him dad but simply, Fidel.
Alina, who passed from daughter to dissident in 1996, believes that the last decisions of Fidel have caused an unprecedented isolation. "The sympathy has been alienated from across europe and of average Latin America. It counts on the other half, of course, but che ontinues being the only one that dictates the foreign policy and the internal politics." She regrets also that her father lost the opportunity of being claimed "al final" (??) of his long period. "I lament that were going to close this legend with such a black clasp, I believe that it still can facilitate a transition in Cuba, but it does not seem to be."
But better late than never, she believes, the changes will have to be given.
The daughter of the commander already thinks that in post Fidel Cuba, the entrance [to capitalism??]is made of a foundation of loose stone. "I know there is socialism without Fidel, as he would please, but I believe that is not the European perspective and it bothers me a great deal. As it would bother you too if I appear in your country and began to say what is well and what is ill." She wants to help the Cuban people in their transition, but, rest assured, she will not be first one in a plane.
I know I made errors, so please submit any correction. Perhaps Comrade Castro is ill???

I agree comrade, nepotism is a human trait that will never be released, regardless of the circumstances.
