Cubaencuentro has come to an end. Or not? What has happened, can anyone say so publicly? We dropped glimpses. As little information is, one has to be read-and-speculation. Here is the dilemma of all these years: the lack of transparency in a broad sense, but especially in the management of funds. What was so good financing may not have been used to build a solid foundation for the future of an institution that we thought essential in the scenario of the global fight against Castro's propaganda? While living in Cuba, defended in each dialogue meeting, with each attack, in front of everyone. Even speak out against police and "culture" of the regime. Speak out because it was going to defend my faith in an opposite Cuba to which we have lived and known for half a century. I worked with them and invited my friends who are writers and journalists to do so. Several did. And it was risky. I've told . Contagion with my faith. And they believed the same, their ways. I forget the eagerness to have every issue of the magazine, for printing and distributing each newsletter Cubaencuentro who promptly came to a ghost email address that we had created my wife and I just for that. I walked Havana lost behind a number of the magazine. I knocked doors are not always open. I visited places where I was not always welcome. Called my home from the English embassy, \u200b\u200bto startle family, in a country where for less than that you can call a meeting of slaps. He had enrolled in that project names on which could have no doubt: Antonio José Ponte , Michel Suarez, Manuel Díaz Martínez, Luis Manuel García , and then Paul Diaz, who I know and trying as far as grew my collaborations. Writing people I admire and I keep reading about, their work wherever they appear, from Rafael Rojas, Carlos Alberto Montaner and Néstor Díaz de Villegas to Rafael Alcides, craggy and Duanel Díaz. How not to get your hands on fire for all that? Meeting was always Who wrote, so more than one anticipated this wreck. I heard about the criticism of their management. The read on the blog Jorge Pomar, also penultimate day. I read all about Cubaencuentro. And I thought: these guys may have a point, but are somewhat resentful note. And I never knew, yet I do not know very well why. I also was annoyed me more than once to any particular approach or aseptic too temperate for my taste, with some cuts to text me, or for the quasi-pathological need to calibrate all, to find a balance forced to sign up to goodism and political correctness. But then to believe that everything would founder, was a stretch. And yet, the disaster has occurred. And his critics have been right. But the darkness remains. And it comes a question that always made me and I became: who is Anabelle Rodriguez? How she managed to wreck a company so well funded? Or that the "well funded" was only in appearance? After this, can anyone believe, in order of trust in their ability, their leadership? was born in Cuba Journal , have moved to where Ponte, Paul, Michel and others. I with them. Because there are loyalties that I like hold up the latter. Good luck, but I think it is worth saying.
