Uproar over Halloween at Sancti Spirits

The most seasoned members of the literate city ofHoly Spirit have reacted to the celebration of a Halloween party, in a hotel in that historic Cuban town, with the typical uproar of experts in sinking their teeth into flaccid flesh, under the well-handled pretext that it would be an activity of "penetration of the enemy." ”.

At this point, with the Island, the province and its capital ready for defense in various stages and with the high political-ideological level of the population formed in these 60 years of continuous victories, a festival of witches and pumpkins should not alarm nobody; but since many people believe - wrongly - that it is a 'yuma' celebration, the CVPs of thought ran there to denounce the enemy activity.

Nothing new in Yayabo or adjacent areas; the noise of the usual small group of experts in biting inert flesh who - due to their reiteration - had to create a Master's degree between the faculties of Stomatology and Journalism: Bite correctly, and with revolutionary firmness, the opponent.

The directors of Los Laureles - headquarters of the festival of Celtic origin, exported to the USA - had the virtue of hosting a celebration that will have a positive effect on their income statement; especially in times whenDonald Trump it takes away tourists from Cuba, as the late Castro litany goes, which seeks - once again - to hide its responsibility in the disaster, hiding that the rise in tourist prices in 2018 drove away the tourists that usually went to the Island.

But let's go to Halloween in Sancti Spiritus. What's wrong with a group of Cubans having a party and paying a hotel for it? Have any of the boring thought fighters taken the time to find out the income he brought toThe laurels the cumbancha of the dead?

How many of these experts in biting the boba dough have criticized the Ministry of Tourism for continuing to sell an image of Cuba with black maraqueros, sensual mulattas, patched almendrones and bulk rum?

And notice if this propaganda has been harmful, that when a habitual foreigner of Castroism is interviewed, he immediately blurts out “the joy of the Cuban” and clings to the photogenic poverty of the condemned.

How many of these necrophilic vampires have criticized Díaz-Canel for dollarizing the economy? If they are so worried about enemy penetration, what greater disaster than the dominance of the American dollar?

How many of those intrepid critics from Sancti Spíritus have gone for the jugular of Miguel Cabrera and Amaury Pérez Vidal because of the racist skating of the latest “Con 2 que se qué se,” broadcast on television paid for by the Political Bureau of the Communist Party?

How many of the figures who now criticize the celebration of Halloween inThe laurels raised their voice against the police's use of trained dogs to maintain order at the Holguín Ibero-American Festival?

Literary cities tend to be the critical conscience of most societies, but something is wrong when some intellectuals become Rapid Response Brigades that - out of conviction or opportunism - reinforce the totalitarian monologue that the olive-green caste imposed on Cuba.

Cuban culture is so powerful that it overcame the indifference of a part of the Republic and has overcome the Castro mistreatment that - after being left without the USSR - dedicated itself to passing its hand over the loins of José Lezama Lima, Virgilio Piñera, Lino Novás Calvo and Jorge Mañach, very Cuban in content and forms; while now trying to trample on the uncomfortable to the rhythm of Decree 349.

No one should fear a pagan festival that is celebrated in much of the world, as part of popular tradition; But if we were facing the start of a nationalist campaign, it would be desirable for the tin soldiers to clamor for the demolition of the Orthodox cathedral of Havana, alien to Cuban culture and erected to ingratiate themselves with the post-communist Russians; as the President of the Republic has just done in Moscow.
