Cuba Slams US Subversion
Manuel Hevia, director of the
Historic Investigation Center of
the department of State
Security, said starting with the
1991 collapse of the Soviet
Union, subversion attempts by
the US have increased
dramatically in Cuba.
The US Interests Section in
Havana has boosted spying and
preparation of internal
counter-revolutionary groups,
with over 540 US officials
visiting Havana between 1998 and
2000. Of them, 30 percent were
identified as suspected
intelligence agents, Hevia
stated.
According to the expert, the
approval of the 1992 Torricelli
Act by George Bush senior not
only provoked hunger, lack of
medicine, transportation and
electricity, but encouraged
massive flow of emigres to the
US.
Between 1987 and 1994,
Washington only granted seven
percent of 160,000 visas agreed
with Cuba, encouraging illegal
exits along with the 1996 Cuban
Adjustment Act that gave special
privileges to the island s
emigres.
The Revolution and President
Fidel Castro have faced that
adversity and still ensured
health and education, as well as
to a certain degree extracted
the country from the "special
period."
As a sign of revenge for that
success, states the historian,
Bush junior s fascist clan and
allies have lashed out at five
Cuban anti-terrorist fighters,
unfairly imprisoned for nearly
nine years.
At the same time the US
exonerates confessed murderers
like Luis Posada Carriles.
