The new Minister of Foreign Affairs has made a very unfortunate debut, you can't look to Brussels instead of looking to La Habana I would like to congratulate Guillermo Fari?as, who represents each and every one of the political prisoners and the whole of the Cuban people Julia Esther N??ez Pacheco: Congratulations Guillermo Fari?as. All my love, appreciation and admiration for a man that nearly gave his life for the freedom of Cuban political prisoners and to support the Ladies in White The Ladies in White also received the Sakharov Prize on 2005 and Oswaldo Pay? received it on 2002 Carlos Pay?: We know the Cuban people want changes. Reconciliation changes for progress. Changes are not made by decrees, they're already on the street. The changes needed are rights The opposition in Cuba is not divided, it is multiplied, the seeds for a new civil society have already been sown Like Oswaldo Pay? said, it is the common stance that defends Cubans Juan Carlos Herrera: Castrism is the antithesis of democracy, it violates all human Rights. Changes are from terrorism to much more terrorism, arrests, imprisonments continue?exile is not a change The common stance must be still more common, it must corner Castrism Help us, Zapata already opened the door, help 11 million Cubans suffering Changing the common stance is more than a political mistake, it is terrible. With people like this Castro is always going to be in power, but there are always going to be honourable men ready to confront him
