that would stimulate their initiative, eachperson could choose his own project of life,managing by himself or organizing himselfwith others. It’s the equal oppotunities notonly among all the citizens to receive thethings assigned from above but between thecitizens and the State which now has themonopoly of everything. It’s the path tohuman promotion and social progress.Of course, it’s very probable that thesetentative behaviors combine. We only haveseparated them to facilitate their evaluationand look for solutions.On it’s part, the Cuban government hasdeclared that it cannot give inmediateanswer to all the consecuences derived fromthe hurricanes. These hurricanes have beenthe last straw of 50 years of an inefficienteconomic system, always depending onforeign help.Cuba is sinking into a state of effectiveungovernability. Because to rule is not torepress and practically militarize the country.Because, as Martí has said, a nation is notfounded as if ruling a camp. Cuba needs tobe founded again upon the basis of theVarela and Martí project. Governability is thedemocratic way to promote the governanceof the citizens, that is, their capacity to selfmanagement and count on the legalframework and the healthy environment ofpeace and opportunities, without exclusions.This ungovernability, de facto and nondeclared,hinders the journey of the nationwith obstacles called corruption, blackmarket, emerging mafias, not detected or yettolerated, unconscious sit-down strike,because there is no material or moralstimulation and the jobs only guarantee thedaily survival during the first days of themonth or the days closed to the pay day ofwhat is called salary. It’s also calledstructural inefficiency of the centralizedeconomic system. It’s called the closing toopen markets due to the lack of credits andthe lack of credits is because the acquireddebts are not paid. That has caused thelowing of the Confidence-Country Indicatorwhich is used by the investors of the wholeworld to risk their capitals and technologies.This state of paralysis in the essential aspects isalso called stubornness due to ideologicaldogmatism, lack of dialectics and politicalpragmatism which close the doors of Cuba toentire blocks of nations, with the possiblitity ofopenning them. Or they delay the economicnegotiations until despair for reasons strictlypolitical. Or there is a palliative policy in whichtemporary solutions appear: independent work,to palliate the internal situation, or thefliexibilization of investments to allow someoxygen from abroad. All this, until a politicalallied nation appears to palliate the situation,the doors of the former temporary little reformsare closed again, because they are not neededanymore: the security is granted by theneighbour nation. This way, there is no viableeconomy or democratic governability.It’s necessary to lift all blockades. It’s true. Theembargos coming from abroad. But at the sametime and above all, the blockade of thiscentralized and monopolist system upon itscitizens has to be lifted. To free the productiveforces and the initiative of Cubans so that theycan really work and succeed:To lift the economic blockade: imposed to theproductive strength of each citizen which isrepressed so that the laws of a regulatedmarket economy can awake and free the onlytrue source of the real and lastingreconstruction of the Country: the work.To lift the social blockade: which hinders thecapacity and the right that the citizenship hasto organize itself independently, so that thepersonal initiative can be complemented andopen to authentic spaces of participation andsolidarity, the only true and lasting way to healthe anomy, to put the protagonism of citizensat the service of the community and to learnhow to organize and rebuild the subjectivityand the most diverse group and associationrichness: a capillary and articulated network ofthe civil society.To lift the political blockade: which excludespluralism of opinions, alternative programs toseek the common good through the negotiated,pacific and agreed solution to the mainproblems of the nation.
