Message from Marcos García / POLEMICA: The 2007 Intellectual Debate

Things are heating up… really, I believe one should not stay silent under things like these. I applaud from my heart Desiderio Navarro and all of those people who write their name when they are giving their word.

I didn’t live in the television era nor do I remember “El quinquenio gris” — the five grey years — but what I’ve been told will suffice: so many smart voices cannot be wrong about the same subject, at the same time.

Hugs.

Message from Frank Padron / POLEMICA: The 2007 Intellectual Debate

I am disgusted as is any honest intellectual Cuban who knows a bit of history and who, one way or another, has lived it. Now: if we don’t take immediate action (.) we run the risk that all of this does not exceed the usual web controversies in the style of The Difference. I also think that the “airing” right after two shadowy figures is not a simple coincidence nor a mere blunder (“for variety”) of our beloved Television Institute.
