Carta abierta de la comunidad académica por el diálogo en Cuba

Lo sucedido en días recientes en Cuba, a raíz de la huelga de hambre realizada por miembros del Movimiento San Isidro, ha puesto sobre el tapete la demanda, por parte de un sector diverso y nada desdeñable de la sociedad civil, de cambios que conduzcan a la democratización de la sociedad y la política cubanas. Los sucesos pasados han hecho evidente, además, la disposición mayoritaria al diálogo como vehículo de cambio, y desde diversas publicaciones académicos formados en universidades cubanas han abogado también por un diálogo efectivo entre la sociedad y el gobierno de la Isla, que incluya a todos los actores y del cual emerjan soluciones democratizantes reales.

Ante la organización por parte de diferentes voceros de la sociedad civil de una agenda de diálogo abierto y transparente, las autoridades cubanas han respondido con una campaña de difamación mediática de algunos actores, muchos de los cuales se encuentran sometidos a vigilancia, acoso policial, interrogatorios y arrestos arbitrarios y constantes. La noche del 27 de noviembre pasado, cuando cientos de manifestantes se congregaron frente al Ministerio de Cultura para protestar la violencia estatal ejercida contra los miembros del Movimiento San Isidro, y exigir de manera pacífica la apertura de canales de diálogo, la policía acordonó las calles aledañas, impidiendo el acceso incluso de personas que llevaban agua y comida para los manifestantes.

Los firmantes de esta carta, académicos en su mayoría cubanistas de dentro y fuera de la Isla, rechazamos las posturas antidemocráticas que el gobierno cubano ha desplegado como respuesta a lo que consideramos reclamos justos de la sociedad civil, y urgimos a las autoridades a entablar un diálogo nacional, sin discriminación de actores ni posturas, y sin represalias para ninguno de los participantes, del cual emerjan acuerdos vinculantes que permitan la implementación de soluciones a la actual crisis política que atraviesa el país. Aspiramos a una Cuba abierta, diversa y plural. Una Cuba para y con todos.
