Many of us started to believe that Cuba had become a more liberated country, and that the people were not held so tightly. There is something that has happened in Cuba that the Government may live to regret for quite a while.
Cuba is showing us once again how much they are prepared to stop the general public speaking about them, by locating a Blogger and attacking her on Monday! Yoani was attacked by Police in the Cuban government the other day for voicing her views on freedom of speech in Cuba. Cuban police quite often patrol the streets in plain clothes and after they had spotted her, attacked her and two other friends.
The Cuban government has only recently opened its arms to tourists and has not always accepted visitors. Now that this has happened, the government may need to show a softer side to their regime, to entice people to come back and hope that there isn’t quite such a big impact on tourism.
Cuba is famous for keeping freedom of speech on a tight leash and preventing those that want to be outspoken by detaining them. If you assault a Blogger, you will probably find that she is going to tell the world that you have done it, not really a very good piece of PR that your country would like. Not to mention that she can spread her message to the entire world after it has happened.
Holidays have been hurt by the current economic climate in the past couple of years, but now they are returning on the increase, Cuba needs to get these holidays or lose money and income, so what do you say would you like to go on a Cuba holiday, or maybe Maldives holidays, or some other Caribbean holidays sound like a better idea this year. Recently I travelled on Sri Lanka holidays, and that’s not exactly a quite place, but I would prefer it to Cuba at the present time.
