Cuban official television defended the "discreet" management and lack of public details regarding the dialogue between Cuba and the United States, amidst growing concerns about the lack of transparency in these discussions.
In a recent analysis broadcast on national television, the presenter argued that Havana's stance reflects a supposed "serious, responsible, and discreet attitude," which is necessary to advance in diplomatic negotiations; this stands in contrast to the constant statements from officials in Washington.
"The profound difference between Cuba and the United States lies, according to the official discourse, in the moral strength of the former. While various narratives about conversations and agreements accompanied by threats circulated in the U.S., the Cuban side maintained a serious, responsible, and discreet attitude, which should prevail among parties willing to find solutions to disagreements and discrepancies through dialogue," the report noted.
The official statement maintains that silence is a response to a proper diplomatic practice, in light of what it describes as a confusing media environment generated from Washington.
They even cite opinions from international analysts who acknowledge the lack of clarity in the U.S. stance, characterized by differences between figures such as President Donald Trump and other officials.
"Contradictory statements from various figures within the establishment have made it very difficult to discern the truth, even for those who specialize in analyzing events," the television reports.
However, the Cuban government has not made a specific agenda or details of the negotiations public, beyond confirming that there are contacts to address bilateral differences.
The state television also criticized the reactions following the official acknowledgment of the dialogue, pointing to sectors of the exile community in Miami, such as Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar, for opposing a potential rapprochement.
In that context, they described the criticisms of secrecy as "annoying" and defended that Cuba "will never renounce its principles" in any negotiation process.
The message arrives at a time of heightened internal tension, marked by prolonged blackouts, protests, and a deep economic crisis that has forced the regime itself to acknowledge contacts with Washington.
Analysts believe that the secrecy is part of the government's strategy to control the internal narrative, in a context where social discontent and international pressure are on the rise.
The contrast between the lack of official information and the growing public interest in the dialogue reflects one of the main current tensions: ongoing negotiations without the participation or knowledge of the Cuban people.
