Cuban cultural freedom fading, Armas said

AGI Online. Italy, June 26, 2003.

AGI) - Florence, June, 26 - "The already narrow Cuban cultural opportunity are even more reducing." The Cuban writer Pedro Marques De Armas, who participated to a press conference in Florence, launched an alarm about cultural and political repression in Cuba. "During the nineties - Armas explained - in Cuba we started going back to our traditions in its various expressions, music and so on." In this context, "institutions lost their grip on Cuban people", and "that cultural development was seen as an enemy of the revolution." That's way in Cuba we assist to a 'radicalisation'. Many years ago, revolution brought freedom, but this is not anymore the case." As a consequence - Armas concluded - the majority of the Cuban writers is in exile." (AGI)
