The Republican Party of Cuba is organizing a charity lunch this Sunday, September 22, starting at 10:00 AM, to which all Cubans who want to come are invited to the Serafín Sánchez park (4225 SW 92 Ave 33165) in Miami. No reservation is necessary as it is an open area, and it is enough to pay 15 dollars for the menu prepared for the occasion, which includes typical Cuban dishes, including pork. There will also be performances and a raffle.
This was explained on Wednesday by Ibrahim Bosch López, president of the Republican Party of Cuba, and the treasurer of the organization, Leonger de la Rosa. Both have invited all Cubans to attend the charity lunch on Sunday so that the funds raised from the sales of the lunch can help political prisoners affiliated with the Republican Party and their families. Among them are Lizandra Góngora, María Cristina Garrido, and the Bayamés Yoandrys Gutiérrez.
Ibrahim Bosch was very clear on this, emphasizing that his organization does not receive any type of subsidy from any government and survives on the five-dollar monthly fees paid by its members, as well as donations from its supporters and activists. He basically explained that the Republican Party, lacking funds, cannot address the hundreds of political prisoners on the Island (more than a thousand, according to Prisoners Defenders). For this reason, this fundraising lunch is solely aimed at gathering funds to assist the political prisoners affiliated with the Republican Party of Cuba.
Ibrahim Bosch took advantage of the interview to explain why the Cuban regime accuses the Republican Party of "terrorism." He explained that they advocate for the need to train individuals within the Island to lead spontaneous demonstrations and to ensure that they do not remain just another protest in the streets, but instead aim to take over public institutions and put the officials who oppose them behind bars. In this way, he insisted, what has happened in Venezuela will not occur, where María Corina Machado has managed to gather thousands of Venezuelans in the streets and those protests have achieved nothing because Maduro is unwilling to relinquish power despite losing the elections.
To achieve the return of democracy in Cuba, Ibrahim Bosch proposes to focus the struggle on three points: a goal, a clear strategy, and leadership. He acknowledged that the latter is currently lacking on the Island because the regime has eliminated civil society, which has managed to survive in Venezuela.
