New Year's Messages from The Cuban Five
A New Year's Message from Antonio Guerrero
Dear friends:
2009 is coming to a close. Time doesn't stop, still we stop to reflect and make a balance of things.
We meditate on personal things that we wanted to improve and achieved, at the same time that we make a list of those things that are left to complete.
We meditate today on the pluses and minuses in our beloved countries, analyzing how much more we can do each day to build a better society.
In the personal, as a Cuban, like millions of Cubans, with each Dec. 31, we think of the Revolution that gave us full independence, the Revolution which demonstrated to the world that a determined people can take the reins of its destiny and say no to brutal capitalism, which is only capable of generating more inequity, more exploitation of man by man, more individualism and more wars.
We think of socialism as a solution to the problems of the peoples, aware of its diversity, the complexities, of its richness and of its justice that we have to defend and perfect daily.
We meditate today on the world in which we live, of its grave problems, of those who are most responsible for its problems, and how they could resolve those problems. How different would our planet be, if each morning, as in this morning that I write you, we were to make as our own, the tragedy of 2.5 billion human beings who live in poverty, the more than 1 billion who suffer from hunger, those who have no access to potable water, and that we were to say with one voice, ENOUGH!
With respect to our own battle, 2009 was a very significant year. Our appeals process, rejected by the Supreme Court, finally yielded some results in which solidarity played a vital role. We could never call the new sentences justice. To resolve the brutal outrage against our brother Gerardo continues being the most important goal in the road ahead.
Happy New Year!
A better world is possible! The peoples will have the final word. Love and peace will conquer.
On behalf of the Cuban Five I send you a strong revolutionary and victorious embrace, wishing you success in your goals and much health and happiness.
