Cuba is certainly a model of society "apart". The social system of Cuba is rich and its qualities in the promotion of equality of access to education, healthcare and housing are undeniable. This allows the island does not suffer from endemic poverty and deadly as it exists in most Latin American countries. Illiteracy is virtually nonexistent, and the Cubans are the best trained in Latin America. With strong prevention campaigns and sanitation, tropical diseases do not exist (Recently, a large mobilization took place from the Ministry of Health against the Dengue, whose expansion is strongly felt in many African countries, which dangerously approached Cuba). Living conditions are far from ideal (see excerpt of the conversation with geologist friend), and serious issues for too long darken the lives of Cubans, including a majority of youth think only one thing from .
Cuba, we must live it, feel it, open it, talk with the Cubans, sit around a rum and listen, listen, laugh too, because without laughter and self-deprecating jokes which flavor of Cuban humor, everything would be much more difficult. We must absorb its realities, through its streets, discovering its artists and writers. Do not deny that freedom is relative, that free expression is not always possible and sometimes punished (there are currently 75 political prisoners in Cuban jails), in and out freely in the country is still a distant dream for Most Cubans (many are still trying to adventure by sea, with means for less precarious), and the opportunity to live in dignity, to many of them, due in large part to "remesas" (Silver currency) sent by any member of the family exiled abroad.
This collaborative project between the General Confederation and the NMP is very interesting for both us and the Cuban trade unionists, he can learn from mutual experiences and knowledge and to discover the realities completely different from that we usually work with. This project can continue on this path and give the Cuban workers, but our teams of delegates, more and more opportunities to learn, and learn from life experiences and work present on both sides of the Atlantic. Hasta la vista.
