EL CIEGO ARTISTA Y MECÁNICO. PABLO ARÍSTIDES SALAZAR CAMPOS

Join this channel to access its benefits:    / @pidopalabra   Greetings, dear compatriots, from the Pido la Palabra Cuba Membership. I want to express my affection and appreciation for your participation in the channel, your contributions, and the energy you bring to the space through chat, writing in the community, suggesting topics, and especially for those who make financial contributions to this channel. Thank you for your trust and for participating as guests to share your opinions, arguments, messages, and perspectives, and for dedicating your time to Cuba. I want to emphasize the editorial policy of the Pido la Palabra Cuba channel, because it holds the key to understanding this effort, which arose from the need for Cubans to listen to one another, to educate ourselves for debate, to express and address arguments, often on taboo and difficult topics, with the clear interest of promoting the importance of pluralistic, open, and diverse participation on matters related to our homeland. Responsibly undertaking research, study, and consultation to provide answers, no matter how difficult the issues or arguments may be, reinforces our commitment to seeking answers from different angles and perspectives in a frank and ongoing dialogue against polarization. I ask for the floor. Cuba is an alternative space centered on personal opinion and does not represent or signify identification with any particular political ideology or other ideology. Rather, it seeks objectivity, starting from the subjectivities that form the complex character of our Cuban nationality, still in formation. I deeply believe that CUBA UNITES US. This phrase is perhaps the perfect slogan to launch a campaign for unity and integration among Cubans, a phrase taken from the poetry of our apostle in the face of the uprooting of exile. The current situation warrants a call for patriotic unity for all who wish to join, while leaving the door open to those who choose not to. Cuba unites us on foreign soil, Our love desires the auras of Cuba: Cuba is your heart, Cuba is my sky, May my words be in your book, Cuba. José Martí's poem "Cuba Unites Us" was written during his exile in Spain. In it, he conveys the feeling, the pain of absence. Cuba is in his heart, and no one can tear her away. Cuba is a feeling, his word is Cuba, his struggle is Cuba, and his physical death was in Cuba. Any sky above his head will be the sky of Cuba, because José Martí is Cuba. I consider our national hero, José Martí, indispensable in the current era because his patriotic stature places him among the founding fathers of thought in our America. A great poet, a prolific intellectual, and an essential thinker for any time. It is in this humanist spirit that "I Ask for the Floor, Cuba" is inspired, a path of permanent dialogue, reconciliation, and peace toward the goal of living in the best country in the world. Let us continue to support solidarity with our people and the highest values ​​of unity. That's why we created this Member community, whose regular contributions to the channel will make it possible to achieve such noble goals. Thank you very much.
