Free elections in Cuba? YES

By: Luis Naranjo /Camagüey Television

The day dawned restless, not for concerns, but for the intense load of emotions in streets, fields and cities, for the enthusiasm and the revolutionary fervor, for the intense satisfaction of the town…. to VOTE.

Until my daughter Ana María 12 years old, was overflowed of happiness, because she had the immense honor again of guarding the urns in her primary school “ Triumph of the Revolution”, in the legendary county of Camagüey.

And that was the same illusion that wrapped her classroom partners, to teachers and workers from the center to all those that supported to that the elections in Cuba continue being free, democratic, in peace, harmony, in a climate of true unit.

How different to the elections before the First of January 1959. There the abstentions stood out, the purchases of tickets, the votes of deceaseds, urns guarded for militar men, manifestations, sabotages and a restless town, but for the hunger, the evicts, the detentions, abuses, taunts, humiliations and a desperation future.

This day of elections, millions of Cubans reaffirmed their fidelity to the Homeland, to the socialist course undertaken by Fidel, to the intention of not giving a span of our principles.

This day of elections, was a call to the international community that we don't fear to the mediatic enemy campaign and that the answer to our difficulties caused by the yank imperialism, are in hands of the true Cubans, of those that don't forget to their heroes and martyrs, of those that will see always Martí and the Commandant in Boss like symbols the fight undertaken by the mambises to continue, to those that voted today like a song to the YES FOR THE REVOLUTION!
