The Superior of the Daughters of Charity in Cuba, Sister Nadieska Almeida Miguel, demands that the regime stop pretending that everyone thinks the same, because it is impossible and moreover, nobody wants that.
Nadieska shared an incisive text on her Facebook profile in which she shows her admiration for all those who confront the dictatorship in one way or another and suffer the consequences for it.
The nun pointed out that one of the primary tasks of human beings is to protect their brother, understood beyond blood ties, and defend them from all danger, injustice, or defamation.
May it be the heart that allows you to see that it is not mistreatment or abuse of power that makes you a better person. It is placing yourself always on the side of those who suffer, and stopping with your different way the ruthless, and sometimes constant, suffering caused by others due to mishandling power," he said.
From the bottom of my heart, I express my unconditional support to those who have had the courage, those who have exposed themselves and denounced the many serious injustices that we experience as a people. I express my support to them, whether they are believers or not," she added.
Sor Nadieska expressed her respect for the Catholic activist Dagoberto Valdés, the academic from Matanzas Alina Bárbara López Hernández, the anthropologist Jenny Pantoja, and the independent journalist José Luis Tan Estrada, and to all those whom the regime has prohibited from leaving their homes in recent days, "a sign that we are repressed, silenced, that we are subjected by a power exercised without reason."
"We are thinking beings, let's seek together, let's embrace diversity. Enough of pretending that we all think the same way, uniformly; that is impossible, we do not want it. God Himself, who created us, made us with the capacity to decide, to think, to choose. Let's learn that the path, as José Martí said, is the good for all and with all," he concluded.
