“The news has put the ICRT on the run, although nothing is surprising after Pérez Insúa left. She was (or became) one of those young revolutionaries who was always calling people for political and reaffirmation events”; pointed toCubaNet a source who requested anonymity.

For his part, an anonymous cameraman revealed that rumors about Uley Suárez's decision had been circulating for days. "For days there were rumors that he had defected, but there was no security until one of the news bosses confirmed it behind closed doors," he said.

“The ICRT is relaxing. The only thing that is surprising is that young people with charges stay. “Journalists go to work out of inertia and all of this is reflected in conversations and daily work,” another channel worker told the independent media.Tele Rebelde.

Despite her commitment to the single party of the Cuban regime, Uley Suárez was not perceived as a “recalcitrant” person with those who expressed divergent opinions. Her history at the ICRT includes various roles, from journalist to radio program director, which earned her recognition from the institution's directors.

The emigration of artists, journalists and officials of the ICRT, controlled by theCuban Communist Party, has been a trend in recent years. Pérez Insúa, who also left for Mexico, has been looking for work in local channels after leaving the Island, he stated.CubaNet.
