January 13, 2003. New
Generation Cuba.
New Generation Cuba supports the thousand of Cubans that signed the
Proyecto
Varela believing that they were doing something to bring about a change in
the Tyranny and not a Transition with the permanence of the Communist System on
the power. We recognize the great act of patriotism of all those who had the
courage to sign this petition with their Identity Card Number, even though they
knew the risks this implicate.
New Generation Cuba encourages all proposals that will help to bring down
the Tyranny, but we will not endorse the Proyecto Varela for the following
reasons:
1- The Rights that Paya wants to take to a referendum are inalienable, this
Rights and Freedoms are not to be taken to the voting booth, they are recognized
on the Universal Declaration of the Human Rights, of which Cuba is a signer.
2- It legitimizes the Tyranny by basing the Proyecto Varela on the Communist
Constitution of 1976, and thus giving way for a Transition with the permanence
of the Communist System on the power. This Constitution was imposed to the
people of Cuba by the Delegates of the only legal Party inside of Cuba, the
people did not vote for it, this makes it illegal.
3- It does not recognizes the heroic acts of the Historical Political
Prisoners, discriminates the political prisoners in its Amnesty, all political
prisoners with real or fictitious charges of acts against the Tyranny are exempt
from being free, and thus unable to vote on its proposed referendum.
4- It forbids the Exiled community including the newcomers to participate in
the political arena of our Homeland for one year, allowing the Communist Elite
in the country to share among them the political and economical control of the
Island.
