Ulises Toirac on Cuba's laws: There is nothing more unjust than to proclaim "closing ranks" if differing opinions become a crime.

"The waves of fellow believers in a stampede, the precarious economic situation, the absolute loss of what were once achievements, need not look outside to find culprits."

The comedian Ulises Toirac shared a post on his Facebook wall in which he criticizes the latest laws approved by the Cuban government, which do nothing but consolidate the lack of freedoms in the country.

Ulises remembers that having different opinions and thoughts is a universal human right, and asserts that the recent block of laws issued in Cuba punish individual opinion and its public expression if citizens do not fully adhere to what the government decides.

"Never is a project more solid, coherent, and cutting-edge than when it guarantees the presence, thoughts, and needs of the greatest number of people it involves," he said.

"It is not unity the obligation to obey. It is not firmness the single thought. There is nothing more weak, unjust, and absurd than to proclaim 'close ranks' when in reality there is an obligation to form and it becomes a crime to differ," he added.

The comedian referred to the migratory wave shaking the country, the disastrous economic situation, the complete loss of past achievements, and the lack of ethics, education, principles, and morals that abound in Cuba, stating that these issues are not the fault of anyone outside. He advocates for embarking on a battle for survival, not of a system, "but of the Nation itself, with the participation of everyone."

"There are so many prohibitions that have been proclaimed that they would have to eliminate voting, because just saying 'in favor?' can be grounds for trial when it is understood that everyone must be in favor," he concluded.
