The Argentine Felipe Galli, an expert in Political Science, published an extensive thread on X in which he criticized sectors of the international left for their stance on Cuba and stated that “to oppose Cubans having the right to vote for their own government is a miserable viewpoint.”
In his message, Galli stated that the debate about the Island is "open to numerous discussions," but he maintained that supporting the Castro regime shows "how little" they care about "the people."
In the post, he wrote that “common Cubans inside and outside the island” would be “tired of 'resisting'” and that the dichotomy of “USA-Regime” does not represent them, because —according to his argument— “they just want a normal country.”
In that context, he rejected the stance he summarized as "I disagree with Cuba but the United States...", which he described as "unbearable."
Galli also referred to the U.S. policy towards the Island by stating that "the laws of the U.S. embargo stipulate that the embargo would be lifted if Cuba holds elections" and, although he described it as an "imperialist" vision, he insisted that opposing the right to vote will not be supported by "any decent person."
The thread expanded its critique of the regional political climate. The author argued that many Latin Americans are "fed up" with hearing that "they don’t eat 'because of the Yankees'" and that "they want to eat," adding that if no answer can be provided, "they are willing to give everything to the USA" in exchange for ending a "long story" in which "they are not the protagonists."
