Joe Biden has just thrown a poisoned fork at the olive-green and guayaberada caste who, like Pacheco's girlfriend, is still dressed and ready for dreamy cumbanchas; but he only manages to whimper from wake to wake.
When Havana - cowardly before Donald Trump, to the point of not daring to send him even the little boats from Regla and Casablanca - believed that the United States would continue swallowing an avalanche of its victims, to alleviate the INPUD pot; Biden asked for a tweet and returned to the mound with a naked ball, which combines the supersonic speed of Aroldis Chapman with the evil of the slider of Kid Hialeah (Néstor Cortés).
The Biden move He is impeccable in the face of the oldest dictatorship in the West, because he sold it as a gesture of good will towards Mexico; whose government is one of the few tactical allies of late Castroism and - in parallel - built bridges with the dictatorships of Venezuela; alternative oil supplier and Nicaragua; anti-drug sentinel in the region.
As if that were not enough, Biden closed the box to triple play and opened a proportional window to Haiti; in a loud mask to Havana that - until its fateful night, the eve of the Three Wise Men - feigned anger and pain because the United States received as heroes Cubans fleeing communism and rejected Haitians who escaped poverty; despite his insistence on the economic character of his own emigrants.
Biden's reasons are not only economic, but fundamentally political in the face of the push of the Republicans, who claim that the United States is suffering from a foreign "invasion" and want to politically prosecute the Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas; circumstances that advise a notable turn in the face of the 2024 presidential elections. The worst possible news for the Palace of the Revolution.
The Biden move shows that in his administration and in the Democratic Party there are two sensitivities; one that bets on the unconditional Obama refund, which would fill the rustlers of Havana with pleasure; and a more sensible one that advises caution and conditioning portions of the thaw to the irrevocable democratization of Cuba; in order to rescue Florida for the ruling party and win again next year.
A number of Cubans - yet to be determined - were stranded on the way to Sacramento; due to the surprise Biden announcement and they are people who had to sell houses, furniture and other properties in their homeland to pay for the volcanic undertaking, which has turned into frustration and anger, with which they will have to return to their old CDR; unless they find alternative host land; although there will be no shortage of innovative rafters who will try to enter the United States by sea, where the border guards are on alert.
The fragile stability of late Castroism, with the soul in suspense due to the return of partial blackouts, the growth of poverty and diseases, the anger over the Gaesa piñata and acute bronchitis between academia economy and the government, will have to deal with the new front of those returned stuck.
The seasonings of the bread with na also did not decipher the Biden knuckleball and, taking out of the bullpen to one of the many academics who, since the Obama mess, are crazy to collide again with a tomahawks beef and one Budweiser cold, they began to sing idly.
For Cubans on the run it is also bad news because when they read and understand the fine print of the parole made in Biden, they will pile up in La Víbora, looking for Patrocinio street; which starts on Avenida de Acosta and ends in Cubana de Acero, near Villa Marista; the only school converted into a barracks by the revolution.
To get on the 3 and 10 train to yuma; It is not enough to have a qualified sponsor, but a group of requirements must be met, including good mental and physical health and acceptable command of English - unfortunately - out of the reach of many Cubans; especially the most impoverished.
Cuban young people and adolescents, including university students, are poorly nourished, with obvious weight and height problems; hit by dengue, coronavirus, anxiety and depression; and they barely manage to express themselves correctly in Spanish; to have to go Shakespearean now.
Good education, which was born with the rosary of public schools that Spain planted in Cuba; via the Friends of the Country Economic Society, it was consolidated with those legendary Normal Teachers of the Republic and socialized with the revolution, it is barely a memory makarenko, since Moscow stopped paying the rent for the aircraft carrier 180 kilometers off the southeastern coast of the United States.
Another mess is that the quota of 30 thousand annual tickets must be shared with Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans; That is to say, that - in principle, since it is yet to be defined - Cuba would receive 7,500 words monthly, for an annuity of 90 thousand combatants ready for production (consignments, muletages and reloads) and defense (bread with steak, tamales and Maltina with condensed milk).
When the perestroiko Raúl Castro has seen the news on television; He will have cursed his brother Fidel and Ramiro Valdés, who opposed balancing the cash flow with the brother obama, for different but convergent reasons; although he could choose to be Adolfo Suárez or Wojciech Jaruzelski and preferred to be Bernarda Alba.
The opposition and Cuban emigrants have a golden opportunity to work for the nation, between now and 2024; avoiding the Norwegian, Spanish and partial American traps of being satisfied with the lrelease of political prisoners, including those of 11J. For the effort he should go and rely on the sensible Democratic senator Bob Menendez; preclear before the budding bilateral camancola.
First freedom, then freedom and finally, freedom. 64 years of ridicule and misfortunes advise against any possible temptation; Why do a part of Washington, Oslo and Madrid appeal to the moderate opposition they support, if the dictatorship does not even recognize them and avoids sitting down to dialogue among Cubans; How does the chronic gravity of the nation advise?
While Biden finalizes in Aztec land, with Mexico and Canada what really matters; the late Castro pugilism will continue crashing to the sound of to the spirit, to the spirit; the water broke... against the invincible normality of democratic societies, immune to revolutionary enthusiasm and that lying litany of Is not easy. Very difficult, colleagues, very difficult... and what remains.
What do you think?
