“No one is punished for free speech in Cuba. If free and inconvenient thoughts were a crime in our country, I would have been a good candidate for prison, with my advocacy for sexual self-determination. Those people are in prison because they are mercenaries paid by Washington.” PeopleCountryCrimePrisonFree SpeechAdvocacy Author:Mariela Castro
“Cuba is a poor country. Most of the Cubans who leave only do so if they can find better economic conditions elsewhere. That's why we need changes. We have to offer incentives to keep people here. We have to create more attractive policies for young people, so that it also makes economic sense for them to stay. We need growth and a better quality of life for everyone.” PeopleCountryGrowthPoorQualityEconomicPolicyAttractiveElsewhereQuality Of LifeCuban Author:Mariela Castro
