Fernando Damaso, 1 January 2016 — The Cuban authorities and their
organizations inserted into civil society, have launched a fierce media
campaign against the politicians elected by the majority of their
citizens to hold public office both in Argentina and in Venezuela: in
the first case, the presidency of the country, and in the second a
majority in the National Assembly.

Reading and hearing the statements, it seems that the Argentinians and
Venezuelans have mistakenly given their votes to criminals, traitors,
mercenaries, and other anti-socials, denying those votes to the "good
and self-sacrificing Kerchnerists and Chavistas," the "eternal patriots"
of their respective countries.

There is nothing new here, despite all the carrying on by those who
cannot lose gracefully. We recall that, contrary to the will of the
majority of Puerto Ricans, both the Cuban authorities and their related
organizations called for the "independence" of Puerto Rico, although
only 4% of the population showed an interest in this while 96% rejected
it. Things of primitive fanaticism!

Nor do they cease to express their support for an expansionist Russia,
the Syrian dictatorship, the Columbia drug traffickers, and all those
who speak ill of the West or act against it.

Now they ask for support for Chavism in Venezuela, talking about
external interference, while President Maduro invents new tricks to
remain in power. It seems that the seven million votes achieved by the
opposition came from outside the country, and were not deposited in the
ballot boxes by Venezuelans.

There is also talk of a strange union between the Chavistas and the
civic-military forces to confront the new National Assembly. "Something
is rotten in Denmark," as Hamlet would say.

Nor is the Argentinean president immune to the populist-leftist onslaught.

Always from the side of the anti-democrats, totalitarians, populists,
demagogues, and the extreme left, despite "the many blows life has
handed them."
