the ones who have had a closed and onlyhole to see reality and to live in it. When thewindow is opened each one can watchdifferent sceneries and landscapes. That isnormal. Even the eternal dialectics betweenreform and counter reform can rise to thesurface. All this is even logical after comingout from decades of an “anchor-and-belt”policy. But deep down this is anunmistakable sign that plural life alwaysemerges, even from the most monolithicstructural formats. It’s life which has got thelast word. It’s the present which does notallow itself to be locked even in the mostperfect and good of pasts. It’s the futurewhich does not stop constructing itself,unstoppable and sometimes imperceptiblefrom the vigorous and undecided “today”.There’s no point in carrying out diplomaticnegotiations, not even in the change of theforeign policy of the United States towardCuba, if the Cuban people does not get outof that disorientation and does not overcomethe dialectics of plurality to occupy its placein the Civil society, overcome the civicilliteracy and exercise sovereignty frombelow, which will make us all protagonists,co-responsible for our own Nation.Only then each Cuban, woman or man, willhave enough right and morality to demandto the international community a respectfulsupport and its solidarity, directlyproportional to the civic protagonism of thepersons, which means, directly proportionalto their daily work, sometimes silent but notless valid. Thus it will become a reality thefact that these conclusions take for grantedor essential: it’s the Cuban people the onlysovereign of its destiny.Pinar del Río, July 12 th 2008.Ediciones ConvivenciaPinar del Río. 201225
