In the meeting, presided over by Jesus García Collazo, president of the Provincial Government's Assembly,offered a detailed report of the energy consumption in the territory, of how of 107 percent, the county has already stabilized the generation food to 100 percent.

This is due to, among other aspects, to the measures adopted in the 61 companies of discharges demands and the deployed popularization work by the press and other organisms of the territory with the population.

Abel Romero, vice-president of the Council of Provincial Administration explained that among the saving actions stand out: Concentration of the production for areas and schedules, substitution of obsolete teams and of high consumptions, control of external stars and intern in diverse entities, appropriate use of refrigeration teams, guaranteeing the hermeticism and maintenance to the pipes of different grosor, to avoid exits of cold and heat.

The horse of Troya

Rafael Correa, president of Ecuador, of visit in Honduras, in eves of the meeting of the OAS, declared: "I believe that the OAS lost its reason of being, perhaps never was right of being." The news transmitted by ANSA, adds that Belt, "‘predicted the death ' of that organization for the many made errors."

He affirmed "that the countries of the American continent, for geographical conditions, ‘cannot be put all in the same basket ', and for that reason Ecuador proposed the creation of the Latin American Organization of States several months ago.

"‘is not possible that the problems of the region are discussed in Washington, let us build something own, without countries unaware to our culture, to our values, including obviously to countries that unaccountably were separated from the interamerican system, and Irefer to the concrete case of Cuba... it was a real shame and shows the moral double that ' exists in the international relationships ". TO its arrival to Honduras, so much the president Zelaya as him, declared that "the OAS should be reformed and to reinstate Cuba otherwise will have to disappear."

Another office of the agency DPA affirms:

"The reinstatement of Cuba in the American Organization of States (OAS) has passed of being a topic per of the General Assembly of the organism in the Honduran San Pedro Sula to become, once again, in the excuse of a fight of interests that go a lot beyond the limits of the Caribbean island and could question (again) the hemispheric relationships.

"The president of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, left it very clear when qualifying the hemispheric encounter that begins this Tuesday in Honduras in quasi warlike terms.

"It will be, he said, a ‘battles interesting ' in the one that if it is demonstrated that the OAS ‘continues being then a ministry of the colonies ' that doesn't transform for ‘to be subordinated to the will of the governments that ' conforms it, he will be necessary to think about ‘to be left ' of the organism and to create other alternative."

‘"Latin America is making of Cuba the test of fire of the sincerity of the true approach of the administration Obama ' to the region, the expert sustained in Cuba of the Council of Foreign Relations of Washington, Julia Sweig, to the daily ‘The Washington Post ', in eves of the Honduran encounter."

When resisting the aggressions of the most powerful empire that has existed never, our town fought for the other towns siblings of this continent. The OAS was accomplice of all the crimes made against Cuba.

In a moment or other, the entirety of the countries of Latin America was victims of the interventions and political and economic aggressions. There is not one alone that can deny it. It is frank to believe that the good intentions of a President from United States justify the existence of that institution that he opened the doors to the horse of Troya that supported the Summits of the America, the neoliberalism, the drug traffic, the military bases and the economic crises. The ignorance, the underdevelopment, the economic dependence, the poverty, the mandatory refund of those that emigrate in work search, the robbery of brains, and until the sophisticated weapons of the organized crime were the consequences of the interventions and the looting coming from the North. Cuba, a small country, it has demonstrated that can resist the blockade and to advance in many fields and even to cooperate with other countries.

The speech marked today for the president from Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, in the General Assembly of the OAS, contains principles that can pass to the history. He said admirable things of their own country. I will limit myself to what expressed on Cuba.

"... In the Assembly of the American Organization of States that today begins in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, we should begin the process of wise rectifications of old made errors.

"Us, the Latin Americans that we are here, recently, a couple of weeks or months ago, we had a great summit in the Group of River, in Salvador of Bay, Brazil. There we take a commitment. The commitment that took in writing and unanimously of all Latin America, it is that in San Pedro's assembly Sula, for majority of votes or for consent, he should change that old and wornout error that was made in 1962 of expelling to the Cuban town of this organization.

"We should not leave this assembly, dear dignitaries, without repealing the ordinance of that eighth meeting that sanctioned to a whole town to have proclaimed ideas and socialist principles that today those same principles are practiced everywhere of the world, including United States and Europe (Applauses). The principles, today, of looking for alternative different from development they are evident in the change in fact that there has been in United States when choosing the president Barack Obama...

"We cannot leave this assembly without repairing that error and that infamy, because based on this resolution of the American Organization of States that has already more than four decades, to this town brother of Cuba he has been maintained an unjust and useless blockade, in fact because has not achieved any purpose, but yes it has demonstrated that there, to few kilometers here of our country, in a small island, there is a town willing to resist and to sacrifices for their independence and their sovereignty.

"... not to make it makes accomplices to us of a resolution of 1962 of simply expelling to a State of the American Organization of States because he has other ideas, other thoughts, and it proclaims principles of a different democracy. And we won't be accomplices of that.

"... We cannot leave this assembly without repealing that acted in that time.

"An exceptional Honduran, call in our country—and one of our eminent persons—José Cecilio del Valle, the sage Valle, expressed April of 1826, 17 in his famous article 'Sovereignty and non intervention'—we had just proclaimed our independence of the Spanish Kingdom—: ‘The nations of the world are independent and sovereigns. Anyone that was their territorial extension or the number of inhabitants, a nation should try to others with the same treatment that he wants to receive of these. A nation is not entitled the of intervening in the internal matters of another nation. ' "

With those words of Cecilio del Valle and the mention of Mahatma Gandhi, Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, Morazán, Martí, Sandino and Bolívar, concluded his speech.

Minutes later, in the conference of later press to the opening of the Assembly, he responded questions and reiterated principles. Then it gave the word to Daniel Ortega that was author of one of the deepest reports and argued in the Assembly of the OAS. In the conference made use of the word, invited by Zelaya, Fernando Lugo, president of Paraguay, and Rigoberta Menchú that were expressed in the same address that Zelaya and Daniel.

The Assembly has discussed for hours. In the moment that I conclude this Reflection, almost already at night, there still are not news of the decision. It is known that the speech of Zelaya influenced. Chávez converses with Mature and urges him to maintain firmly that resolution some cannot be admitted that conditions the repeal of the unjust sanction against Cuba. So much rebelliousness was never seen. The battle is without a doubt hard. Many countries depend on the index finger of a hand of the Government of United States pointing to the Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the Interamerican Bank of Development or any other address to punish rebelliousness. To have liberated it is already of for yes a prowess of the most rebellious. June 2 2009 will be remembered by the future generations.

Cuba is not enemy of the peace, neither reluctant to the exchange or the cooperation among countries of different political systems, but it has been and it will be uncompromising in the defense of its principles.
