HOMENAJE AL LÍDER BORICUA OSCAR LÓPEZ RIVERA EN LA CASA DEL ALBA CULTURAL Por Astrid Barnet, con la colaboración de Tricontinental “Nos encontrábamos en la cárcel de alta seguridad del estado de Indiana; era la hora de la comida y, en el interior de un comedor inmenso –ocupado por unas 500 personas--, reconocí de inmediato a Oscar, producto de la campaña que existía y que aún existe por su liberación mucho antes de la nuestra (¡Liberen a los Cinco!). Fui a su encuentro y me identifiqué: --Soy cubano, mi nombre es Fernando González. Seguidamente me contestó: --Te conozco, sé quién eres” (…) Tuvimos así la posibilidad –y no obstante las circunstancias existentes tan adversas--, de apoyarnos y de intercambiar mutuamente en un momento del día sobre temas políticos, ideológicos, sobre las circunstancias y problemas de Cuba y los Estados Unidos…Temas de todo tipo y acerca de los cuales este boricua --quien ya sobrepasa los setenta años de edad y que lleva treinta y cinco en cárceles norteamericanas--, es un profundo conocedor de la historia de Puerto Rico y de los Estados Unidos”. Así expresó el Héroe de la República de Cuba Fernando González Llort, en el documental con el cual se inauguró en la habanera Casa del ALBA Cultural, la Exposición Fotográfica y la Premiación del Concurso Libertad para Oscar López Rivera, actividad convocada por la Organización de Solidaridad de los Pueblos de África, Asia y América Latina (OSPAAAL) y por el Comité Internacional Paz, Justicia y Dignidad a los Pueblos. “Oscar es un hombre que mantiene en la prisión un régimen de vida, respeto y disciplina hacia todo y con todos; no se involucra en las dinámicas colectivas (…) Aprendió a pintar autodidácticamente a partir de la técnica del grafito (graffiti); técnica que me enseñó y de esa forma fue cómo aprendí a dibujar. Oscar es un hombre muy firme y se mantiene siempre dentro de un proceso creativo (…) Compartí celda con él durante cinco años, y ¡estoy seguro que un día nos volveremos a ver!”, concluyó González Llort durante el homenaje dedicado a ese líder independentista boricua al que acompañó también una excelente muestra fotográfica coordinada por el profesional puertorriqueño del lente Ramón Frontera, para la cual se presentaron 79 obras de 30 concursantes, procedentes de distintos lugares de nuestro país. Así, a los jóvenes Liliana Duarte, Madelin Ramírez y Adonis Fleites se les otorgaron tres primeros premios; al niño Marcos Linares García, el segundo premio; mientras que los jóvenes Abel Cotilla, Xiomarilys Nieves Collado y Ariadna Valle Pasos, recibieron menciones. Todos, de manos de Fernando González Llort y de Gerardo Hernández, Héroes de la República de Cuba. Edwin González Vázquez, delegado de la Misión de Puerto Rico en Cuba, expresó: “Hoy en Puerto Rico enfrentamos una nueva junta de control fiscal --producto de la crisis creada y acumulada por el gobierno colonial desde hace más de una década--, y por supuesto llegó el momento en que no puede pagarse lo que se debe al no permitirlo el propio diseño económico. En esta ocasión hay algo significativo y es que el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos no metió la mano para salvar esta situación --como siempre ha acostumbrado--; sin embargo, sus grandes transnacionales continúan generando ganancias por más de 35 mil millones de dólares anuales. Entretanto en Puerto Rico, los poderes ejecutivo, legislativo, el tribunal supremo y el propio congreso se han autoproclamado agotados. “Dicha junta de control fiscal no sólo viene a manejar la situación económica, sino que también posee poderes mayores al del gobierno colonial. Retornamos históricamente a 1898, inicios de la invasión e intervención norteamericana en Puerto Rico, como colonia clásica de un gran imperio; un país con más de tres millones 800 mil habitantes, mientras que en Estados Unidos conviven cerca de cuatro millones, entre ellos, muchos profesionales que han emigrado durante los últimos diez años quienes, en definitiva, son los que sostienen la economía. En resumidas cuentas la junta viene a garantizar el pago de los bonistas, unos 63 mil millones de débito –no así a resolver el problema económico-; ésta la conforman siete miembros (¡norteamericanos todos!), designados por el presidente. “Sí debo plantear que, en estos momentos, se están produciendo manifestaciones populares de protesta contra este proceder. En las redes sociales también se está denunciando esta política mediante un movimiento llamado Concertación contra la Junta. En este movimiento se han nucleado no sólo independentistas, sino también funcionarios y empleados gubernamentales. “En relación con Donald Trump, nuevo presidente electo de Estados Unidos se sabe que la política de la gran potencia mundial hacia Puerto Rico siempre ha partido del llamado establishment. Por tanto, la posición de la actual junta y la secular política de dominio colonial y cultural continuarán en nuestro país y mucho más con un mandatario como Trump. “Continuaremos y fortaleceremos nuestra campaña político-ideológica de cien mil firmas por la liberación del líder independentista Oscar López --de 73 años de edad y quien sufre prisión desde hace 35 en la cárcel de Indiana--, ahora con la petición de indulto al presidente Obama en esta última etapa de su mandato que expira el próximo veinte de enero. Exigimos la liberación de Oscar, y si después del veinte de enero no existe respuesta favorable, continuaremos la lucha porque la dignidad y la razón están de nuestro lado. Desbordada la sala con la participación de representantes políticos, diplomáticos y activistas solidarios de 18 países, se desarrolló muy exitosamente esta iniciativa, formidable por la sensibilidad política y el valor artístico de las obras, así como la juventud de los concursantes, un nuevo y categórico gesto de la OSPAAAL en respaldo a la libertad del patriota Oscar López Rivera y a la independencia de Puerto Rico. LONG LIVE FREE PUERTO RICO! A TRIBUTE TO THE PUERTO RICAN LEADER OSCAR LÓPEZ RIVERA AT THE CASA DEL ALBA CULTURAL By Astrid Barnet, with the collaboration of Tricontinental “We were in the high security prison of the state of Indiana; it was lunch time and inside a huge dining hall occupied by some 500 people I immediately recognized Oscar, due to the campaign that existed and still exists for his liberation, long before the launching of our campaign (Free the Five!). I approached him and identified myself: “I am Cuban, my name is Fernando González”. Right away he said, “I know you, I know who you are” (…) We thus had the possibility – regardless of the adverse circumstances – to support each other and exchange mutually at some moment during the day on political and ideological problems, about the circumstances and problems of Cuba and the United States…  and all kinds of subjects, because this Puerto Rican – already over seventy years old and a prisoner in U.S. jails for thirty-five years – has a deep knowledge of the history of Puerto Rico and the United States.” Those were the words of the Hero of the Republic of Cuba Fernando González Llort in the documentary that opened the photo exhibition at the Casa del ALBA Cultural in Havana and the awarding ceremony of the contest “Freedom for Oscar López Rivera”, an event convoked by the Organization of Solidarity of the Peoples of Africa, Asia and Latin America (OSPAAAL) and the International Committee for Peace, Justice and Dignity for the Peoples. “Oscar leads a life of respect and discipline in prison to everything and everyone; he does not engage in group dynamics (…) He learned to paint all by himself using graffiti; he taught me that technique and that was how I learned to draw. Oscar is a very firm man and is always creating (…) I shared the prison cell with him for five years and I’m sure we will meet again one day!” concluded González Llort during the tribute paid to that Puerto Rican independence leader. Part of the tribute was also an excellent photographic showcase coordinated by the professional Puerto Rican photographer Ramón Frontera presenting 79 works by 30 contestants from different parts of our country. Three first prizes were awarded to Liliana Duarte, Madelín Ramírez and Adonis Fleites, all youngsters; the boy Marcos Linares García won the second prize, while the also young Abel Cotilla, Xiomarilys Nieves Collado and Ariadna Valle Pasos received mentions. All the prizes were handed out by Fernando González Llort and another Hero of the Republic of Cuba, Gerardo Hernández. Edwin González Vázquez, delegate of the Puerto Rican Mission in Cuba, declared: “Today in Puerto Rico we face a new board of fiscal control – a result of the crisis created and accumulated by the colonial government for more than a decade – and of course, the moment arrived when one couldn’t pay what was owed because the very economic design does not allow it. This time there is something significant, and it is that the government of the United States did not intervene to save this situation, as it usually does; however, its great multinationals continue obtaining benefits for more than 35 thousand million dollars each year. In the meantime, in Puerto Rico the executive and legislative powers, the Supreme Court and Congress itself have declared themselves exhausted. “Said board of fiscal control is not coming to manage the economic situation; it also has more power than the colonial government. We are returning historically to 1898, to the beginning of the U.S. invasion and intervention in Puerto Rico, as classic colony of a great empire; a country with more than 3 800,000 inhabitants, while nearly four million live in the United States, among them many professionals who have migrated during the last ten years and who, in the end, are the ones supporting the economy. The board, which is made up by seven members appointed by the president (all U.S. Americans!) has come to ensure the payment of the shareholders – some 63 000 million debits – and not to solve the economic problem. “I do have to say that at this very moment popular demonstrations of protest against this procedure are taking place. In the social networks there are also denounces of this policy by a movement called “Concertación contra la Junta” (Coordination against the Board), which brings together not only independence fighters, but also government officials and public servants. “With regard to Donald Trump, newly elected president of the United States, it is known that the policy of the great world power toward Puerto Rico has always come from the so-called establishment. Therefore, the position of the present board and the century-old policy of colonial and cultural dominion will continue in our country, and all the more with a president like Trump.” “We will continue strengthening our political-ideological campaign of one hundred thousand signatures for the liberation of independence fighter Oscar López – 73 years old and imprisoned for the last 35 years in the Indiana penitentiary – now with the request of pardon to president Obama in this last stage of his mandate, which expires next January 20. We demand Oscar’s liberation, and if after January 20 there is no favorable reply, we will continue the struggle because dignity and reason are on our side. In an overcrowded hall and with participation of political representatives, diplomats and activists in solidarity from 18 countries, this initiative developed very successfully. It was so because of the political sensibility and artistic value of the works, the youth of the contestants, and proved to be a new and categorical action of OSPAAAL in support of the freedom of patriot Oscar López Rivera and the independence of Puerto Rico. Para los jóvenes: les agradezco con todo mi corazón el apoyo que comparten conmigo. Creo que han sido bendecidos porque han nacido en una nación cuyo objetivo más importante es el desarrollo de sus ciudadanos, que son su recurso más importante, comenzando a partir del momento de su nacimiento. En sus manos está el futuro de Cuba, y ustedes definitivamente continuarán haciéndola la mejor nación en este hemisferio y probablemente del mundo. Les exhorto a que sigan conquistando la fuerza del conocimiento y ayudando a hacer de éste un mundo mejor y más justo. Manténganse fuertes, nunca pierdan la esperanza y el coraje, y disfruten de todas las cosas buenas que la vida les trae. Abrazos con mucho amor. EN RESISTENCIA Y LUCHA, Oscar López Rivera Mensaje a los participantes en el Concurso de Fotografía “Libertad para Oscar López” “To the youth: I thank you with all my heart for the support you share for me. I think you have been blessed, because you have been born in a nation whose main target is the development of its citizens, its most important resource, starting from the moment of your birth. The future of Cuba is in your hands, and you definitely will continue making it the best nation in this hemisphere and helping to make this a better and more just world. Remain strong, never lose hope or courage, and enjoy all the good things that life brings you. I embrace you with great love. IN RESISTANCE AND STRUGGLE, Oscar López Rivera” Message to the participants in the photo contest “Freedom for Oscar López” [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
