They govern polemics restrictions of United States to travel to Cuba
WASHINGTON, 30 (Reuters). The new rules that restrict the trips to all the citizens and residents of Cuban origin in the United States to the Caribbean island took effect, while Washington says that they would accelerate the fall of the president Fidel Castro and the custom-made critics they denounce them like an attack to the family values. The rules would mine the electoral support of the president George W. Bush in Florida, they assured the experts.
Expert they consulted they indicated that the danger for Bush, that seeks the reelection in November, is that the measures revert themselves like a boomerang.
All the citizens and residents of Cuban origin in United States alone will be able to visit their nearby relatives in the island once each three years, instead of annually. Their stopover now has a run into of two weeks, among others restrictions that harden the blockade against Cuba.
"If you went to visit your mom (in Cuba) two months ago and then she has an accident of traffic, can be not going to seeing it, point", said Philip Peters, of the Lexington Institute, a group based on Washington that is opposed al blockade.
The new rules there are enfurecido to many Cuban-American, who say that the Government cannot interfere in their family relations. This various week they tried to undertake airplanes to visit its relatives before the entrance of force of the rules, but the State Department denied them the exit.
The assistant undersecretary of state, Give Fisk, the diplomatic maximum responsible for Cuba, said that the restrictions were necessary because the president Fort tried "to take advantage of a part of the maintenance of the Cuban population to the community exiled".
"The state has built its reputation in base to a revolution that says to provide for the Cuban town", said. "It is the state that should feed, to give him clothes and medical services al town".
Fisk said that the new rules are you insert in the context of an a lot more extensive initiative announced by the government of Bush last month, looking to promoting a transition in Cuba.
The measures include, among others things, an increase in the aid to the dissidents, broadcasts of radio and TV to the island through a military airplane to surpass the informative blockade in the island, and the appointment of a "coordinating for the transition".
Wayne Smith, who heads the Cuban program in the Center for the International Politics, an institute that is opposed al American blockade, said that the idea to have a coordinator for the transition "sounds as if the occupation of Cuba to is about to begin", and qualified the new limits as "the most stupid politics than have never seen".
