Everyone had been lulled into a false sense of security that Cuba slowly became a freer and holiday like country. The Cuban police need to be careful what they do now, recently they have made a massive slip up.
Cuba is showing us once again how much they are prepared to stop the general public speaking about them, by locating a Blogger and attacking her on Monday! Yoani, a Blogger in Cuba who is known for putting her views on her country across the Internet was approached by plain clothes policeman and beaten the other day. After learning there was a demonstration about to happen, she and two other friends headed to this and on their way were stopped and beaten by undercover police officers.
Tourism has started to boom in Cuba, and only recently, this has started to take off and improve. However now they have to try and patch up this mess they have caused because they have started to rely on Tourism and the money it brings in quite heavily.
Although Cuba has been known for keeping a tight hold on freedom of speech, it was thought that things had calmed down and that people had a little more leeway. Attacking an Internet Blogger that is quite established in the Internet world, is probably one of the worst possible ideas, surely speaking to her about the issue is better off, this won’t look good for Cuba at all. Not to mention that the main problem is that she can spread her message to the whole world in a matter of minutes.
Holidays have been damaged by the recession in the past couple of years, but now they are back on the rise, Cuba needs to get these holidays or lose money and income, so what do you say would you like to go on a Cuba holiday, or perhaps Maldives holidays, or different Caribbean holidays sound like a more sensible idea this year. Recently I embarked on Sri Lanka holidays, and that’s not exactly a quite place, but I would prefer it to Cuba at the moment.
