The claps and the silences

An office of the AFP informed that: “Cuba accepted to reopen the negotiations with United States has more than enough migration and the direct shipment of mail, a new sign of the thaw that takes place in eves of a Summit of the American Organization of States (OAS) in the one that the Cuban case will dominate the conversations.

“The boss of the Section of Interests of Cuba in Washington, Jorge Bolaños, transmitted on Saturday that Cuba ‘hopes to restart conversations has more than enough migration and the service of direct mail ', he said on Sunday a high official of the Department of State that stayed in the anonimity.

“From El Salvador, where attended a ministerial conclave on regional trade, the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, said that Washington was pleased of renewing the conversations with Havana on those topics.”

Immediately an exabrupt anything diplomat:

“‘will have an open dialogue as soon as there are changes has more than enough human rights and movements toward the democracy in Cuba”, expressed the agency EFE.

Which is the “democracy” and those “human rights” that United States defends? Was is really necessary to throw that humiliating one and preproccesor warning?

When today I saw by television the taking of possession of Mauricio Funes and this one spoke of reestablishing relationships with Cuba, a deafening applause and screams of joy exploded in that room, as were not listened in any other moment of his speech. There Hillary was among the companies. Previously the speaker that many times moved away from the papers, had made the error of greeting the Clinton that occupies Secretary's of State position, before even that to Lula da Silva, the South American giant's President, there present among a group of Presidents of our area.

The speaker, without still concluding the lingering applause to Cuba--that perhaps would hurt Mrs. Clinton took the word and he mentioned to United States again, with the best intention in the world. However, very few in that great room they applauded to that country.

A culminating and very applauded moment of Mauricio's speech took place before, when he mentioned to the illustrious archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero whose tomb had visited that morning. That defender of the poor had been murdered unpunishedly, when officiated a mass, for the bloody tyranny of the party SAND imposed by the imperialism in El Salvador. The legislators and high officials that represented to the party that he murdered were also in that room; among them, several of the few ones that applauded United States.

In certain circumstances, not only the words speak for themselves, but also the claps and the silences.
