Cuba and Castro

BBC NEWS

The former presidents of three Eastern European countries have launched a campaign calling for the peaceful overthrow of Cuba's communist government.

In a letter sent to several leading newspapers internationally, Vaclav Havel of the Czech Republic, Lech Walesa of Poland and Arpad Goencz of Hungary said European countries should set up a fund to help opposition groups within Cuba.

The three, all of whom were dissidents when their countries were ruled by communist regimes, said President Fidel Castro's regime was "at its last gasp" and compared its situation to Eastern Europe in the late 1980s.
Facing an economic downtown and growing discontent, the Cuban Government in March arrested 75 members of opposition groups.

But the former presidents said in their letter that the dissident movement had not been adversely affected.

"The internal opposition is getting stronger, it has not been brought to its knees by the police round-up last March, times are changing, the revolution is getting old and the regime is getting nervous," they said.

"Fidel Castro knows well that one day the revolution will die with him."

how low can ya go
and how much are these bastards being payed to say this?
the EU is eventually going to collapse, its already starting
right after the US loses its grip on it, it will collapse entirely

[Urban Rubble]

That sucks. It will be interesting to see what happens when Castro dies. The CDR will have it's hands full.

[Jesus Christ]

when Castro dies, look for the CIA to be there right behind him, hopefully Raul will live up to his brother

[RED FIRE]

Yeah,but for how long,perhaps 3-5years.Raul is only 3 years younger then Fidel
After raul dies it will be very intersting to see how things ''pan'' out in Cuba.

Good luck to Cuba,never let the revolution die.

[Droes lee]

they say that the revolution was a great succes because of fidel so we've goth to hope that the revolution never dies and I'm shure that the revolution is not gona fall.

If the americans ever invaded cuba I for one would go and defend the revolution with my life if it came to it. one by one every left wing country has succombed to imperialism. Cuba is one of the last nations that is free from imperialism, and if the cuban government falls, it will be a major blow to leftists everywhere. the buck stops here! socialismo o muerte! :che: :cuba: :castro:

[Jesus Christ]

so who would be the next to take over the Presidency after Raul

[RebeldePorLaPAZ]

guess raul would have to pick somebody who he belives would do the job right. there will be no more castros, but i bet theres a lot of loyal smart young people he will pick.

It seems that Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland have more unemployment than Cuba, and less life expectancy.

Of course we cant compare this countries because their situation is different, but comparing Cuba to other caribbean countries you see the difference. Compare it with Dominican Republic (not sure if it is a good comparison anyway).

Cuba lacks a good economy but has good social progress, which is more important in my oppinion.

U.S. paid those 3 wankers? or are they having their assess ready for a good fuck by George. W ?

Tony & George, " We have new chums now~ come on , babies~~" :P

The Eastern European countries that used to part of the Soviet bloc are now becoming the biggest whores to the United States. Many of the governments in Eastern Europe supported Bush's war on Iraq this year. There has to be political pressure on that part of the world to support the United States' stubborn foreign policy, in this case, the biggest thorn in the side of American imperialism--the Cuban Revolution.

[FabFabian]

Yes those countries are benefitting from the "wonders of capitalism". Ever checked out the made in labels in some of your clothing? Nice cheap European labour.

Yes, we all have to remember the timeless words of the U$ govt. They are part of the "New Europe" right? New meaning totally subserviant to the U$ wishes.

I'm sure if someone were to dig, there is a tidy little money trail to this group and probably promises of loans etc.
