Democratic Solidarity Party splits with
the Assembly to Promote Civil Society in
Cuba
HAVANA, Cuba, March 31 (Roberto Santana
Rodríguez / www.cubanet.org) - The
dissident Democratic Solidarity Party decided
at a meeting last week to withdraw from
the Assembly to Promote Civil Society in
Cuba.
According to a communique from the party
sent to executives of the Assembly following
the meeting March 22, there was disagreement
about methods to achieve democratic changes
in Cuba.
The Solidarity party said that changes
were needed in Cuba but that it was not
feasible to continue associated with the
Assembly for the sake of "false appearances"
when these did not contribute to the development
of either organization.
Said the communique: "Those methods
respond to an old and questionable custom
of making everything political, which lamentably
exists in the circles of the old and new
political classes, of which the PSD also
was part of but which as of today it is
taking steps to move away from."
The Solidarity party said it will continue
to recognize the goals of the Assembly and
wishes it success.
