Register for Vicente Casas *
An issue of importance to the welfare of society (which, as usual, is not in the programs of the Round Table ) it is the increasing violence and crime in our country, in particular, the bloody events perpetrated by new generations of Cubans born and educated within the system of socialist revolution, reprehensible and tragic incidents such as occurred in the municipality Rule on December 13, 2004, which killed his colleague and friend Izalgue Adlain Rodriguez, victim of a brutal act of murder caused by a gunshot to the head.
On December 14, many young people from the religious sect known as abakuá and others of that overseas city of Havana participated in or witnessed the funeral of the humble son of the town of Regla, and as in previous cases members of this mysterious organization Afro killed by fratricidal violence, celebrated their mortuary ritual known as "death dance" act performed in public for the burial of the deceased that was achieved thanks to the civic peace, tranquility provided equally religious worship during which the young man was killed Adlain, and it is not broken with other violent acts, which sometimes occur with real impunity for violators of law and order.
violent acts that occur: at home within the family, through the already familiar "domestic violence" in numerous cases including self-harm and suicide in schools for the failures of mutual respect of teachers and teachers in their working relationship with the increasingly rude pioneers for communism, in the neighborhood with excessive noise and scandals of every kind made by unscrupulous people, without the slightest manifestation of regard for the nearest neighbors, in buses or other means of transport, such as articulated trucks known for camels in public places large gathering of people, lack of tolerance and respect which is manifested every day, and in each and every one of the nightclubs in the capital for "recreation" of the younger members of society, with its usual riotous fights or brawls, which spontaneously expresses true education and culture of the supposed new man.
One of the most obvious lack of security and displays of public unrest in the country is the system of domestic architecture sui generis which has originated through 48 years of socialist revolution, standing in the residential sector placement of doors and windows, metal bars all types and sizes, made from the materials available according to the possibilities or the purchasing power of residents in each building, thus creating a kind of large modern prison for citizens who have no choice but to shut down and limited in their action to the tedious daily work activity, the "resolve" to survive while offenders are held in public, assets and patients in their "struggle", that is, looking for the right time and place to "make bread" (which means looking for easy money), something that that does not conform to the Castro of "the street is for revolutionaries," pronounced by members of the violent and repressive pro-government brigades during unrest in late 1994 and 1995 in the capital featuring residents of the municipality of Regla, Central -Habana and La Habana Vieja.
Due to the inability to be recognized and addressed our problems honestly and criticism from the government (without applying policy to see the mote in your neighbor's eye without noticing the beam in your own) as head of coping and trying to eradicate or reduce to the minimum possible, and with the best intentions in the world to promote the recognition of Civil Society in our country, pointed out some of the causes which, in my humble opinion, are reasons for the alarming increase in violence and crime in the country.
In a recent conversation on the topic with subjects from the population, I remember one of the words spoken by older people: the peace of mind comes from trancazo, with which they place as an example of the time that a single guard the internal order of those times with a wooden baton with which he threatened a person suspected of committing a crime, was responsible for ensuring and maintaining peace throughout a neighborhood or sector of the capital under their custody. Do not share the view that peace and order are imposed by force of violence, and examples can be cited dozens of facts just enough to recall the experience of Gandhi in their peaceful struggle, through which conquered India's independence from British colonialism, being consistent with his principle: "if you apply the proverbial eye for eye, will end all blind", ie, there is evidence that violence in all its manifestations known, generates violence.
Therefore, if there is widespread evidence that violence breeds violence (ie, the semantic definition of violence according to the Dictionary of the English Language "force exerted on a person to force her to do what you do not want, extreme strength, tenderness, pregnancy ", etc.), we will first cause the increase of this disease in Cuba in the form of de facto government that was established in the country since 1959, and has won political power in a violent way, which is result in a violent city in nature as a subject of that reporting relationship.
Violence also responds to a system of government where there is no real rule of law, in which the political will of the ruling class is called to protect the rights of individual citizens, but to stay with the status quo and maintain political power at the expense of people's suffering , suffering worsened in recent times by the economic crisis called "Special Period", crisis or no prospect of final output, which creates uncertainty, hopelessness, frustration and all kinds of discomfort that affects the human psyche, maladjusted and individuals generates psychopathic behavior and a kind of helplessness in the average citizen, which results in the search for mechanisms illegal and violent methods to solve the problems of coexistence, in the style of social relations in the remote past.
cause of violence is also bad education of generations of Cubans educated in the revolutionary process, which has achieved a high level of instruction supported by the rule of socialist morality (the double standard), the cult of people Maximum Leader and his closest followers loyal detriment of recognition of the value and respect for state institutions and the rule of law, despite the latter being formally recognized by the Constitution, in Article 66 - , the implacable hatred to the alleged North Enemy so-called enemies of the Revolution, which, far from engendering positive values, divide the Cuban family, primary cell of society. That level of instruction should not be confused with education, because you can either instruct, educate just who is a living gospel, as was noted at the time by the illustrious patriot José de la Luz y Caballero. That level of instruction is also based on the alleged social equality for all Cubans, "equality" in recent years as evidenced by the growing social gap between those with access to convertible currency or foreign, and those living in the so-called national currency obtained through the miserable salary fixed frozen or does not resolve the basic daily living, and receiving worker throughout his working life.
negatively affects the behavior of citizens in their relationship with the other members of society and promotes the increase of violence, "the lack of recognition and support from the government to the people's traditional cultural values, such as the holidays in late December, officially denied by the government of Castro in the '70s, now tinged by shortages and rising prices of goods to the population, the military environment, with operations increased military and ideological activity exercised by the Government through the basic means of communication, especially radio and television-saturated rhetoric and demagogic verbiage of the open forums, roundtables and other programs of the so-called Battle of Ideas (in which is not allowed defense of the opponent, so you have more than psychological abuse "Battle of Ideas"), the violent films and international news edited and manipulated on unpleasant and depressing events, including performing any Islamic fanatic or against a Jewish psychopath or an American.
The human society without faith facilitates the increase of violence, which harms the human being in general, the evangelizing work of the Church in Cuba is limited by the political will of the ruling class, which is declared to be an atheist government, although recognized in the constitutional field "religious freedom" in fact this is a real fallacy , since the role of the Church in the country is limited to work inside the temples and is not allowed or public demonstrations, and access to mass media controlled entirely by the government and charged the above abuse psychological.
Something similar also happens with much-needed Civil society institutions and other philanthropic organizations, prohibited por el gobierno, que justifica la existencia de una supuesta “Sociedad Civil”, controlando y manipulando las organizaciones que bajo el término ONG se permite organizar a favor de la política oficial.
A la lista de las causas del aumento de la violencia se suma la llamada Miopía de la Legalidad Socialista, evidenciada en la desproporcionada y voluminosa legislación penal vigente, integrada por la Ley No. 62 de 1987 (Código Penal), reformado en 1997 y 1999 con figuras delictivas propias del sistema de partido único y penas desproporcionadas para los transgresores de la Ley; la novedosa y antidemocrática Ley No. 88 de 1999 (Ley de Protección de la Independencia y la Economía de Cuba), conocida as the Gag Law, Law No. 72 of 1992 (Electoral Act), regulating the alleged wrongful acts of elections between candidates of the only party recognized and allowed the people to solve nothing, Act No. 93 of 2001 (against Acts of Terrorism), a term I prefer not to comment on this article, the Decree-Law No. 99 of 1987 (From Personal Offenses) and Decree No. 141 (Violations of Internal Order), virtually unknown to its lack of application.
The criminal law has, among its features, the intent of the legislature to protect the state and government interests at the expense of individual liberties of the citizen, she applied as the political will of the ruling class, and much of its contents remain a dead letter as standard, making it ineffective; example is imposing greater sentences for criminal acts against state security in crimes against the normal development of the family and sexual relations or crimes against life and bodily integrity. This situation is compounded by the lousy job in the prison system with the condemned, which in most cases become recidivists usual, challenging the criminal rehabilitation system "fairer world."
Cause of the increase in violence is the scourge of alcoholism and drug, which unfortunately is accompanied by a growing number of young people confused and saddened by the economic situation of material and spiritual misery that the Cuban population lives, evidenced, among other examples, in the shameful increase in prostitution - with the well-known prostitutes, who end their careers when they find an alien that makes it easier to leave the country, and uncontrolled migration to the capital, despite being formally regulated by Decree No. 317 of 1997-a legal instrument issued by the government to try to curb population growth in the country's capital, "which is applied by administrations and municipal-in short, does not solve the problem, the bad job of some officials in charge of the case.
Despite this unfavorable situation, I recognize that there is great human potential in our youth, and Cubans are people of peace, eager to live in freedom and prosperity, so I have faith in human betterment. I am sure that a better society is possible when our individual rights are respected, work becomes the means of satisfying the need and not a slave cargo, where everyone can do something useful as social needs and receive in return fair remuneration for their efforts, when we learn to live with the objective truth social premise, with practice and observance of democratic institutions as the foundation of the Cuban State and respect for others as the foundation of social relations, for all, all for the good of all.
a better Cuba is possible.
