One of the most famous and well-known journalists in the region, Goran Milic, believes that after the death of former President Fidel Castro, Cuba will expect a different fate in which the greatest danger is preserving the social peace and the habits of equality at the expense of foreign borrowing.
He stated that he was in Cuba five times while the former president was at full strength, in 1975, 1976, 1978, 1979 and 1983.
According to him, the Cuban revolutionary was a dragon on the podium, and he recalled the frantic applause of representatives of decolonized non-aligned countries and the occasional cry from the bench of Latin Americans – “rusos si gringos no”.
“Yes friends, comrades and gentlemen, yes, we like the Soviet Union. Because it is with us, because it helps us. And all of you gathered here, from Africa, Asia, Latin America, tell me, if you know, any liberation movement that America ever helped,” said Castro back then.
“Everything with music and dance. One nice characteristic of Castro is that he never flaunted, he spent 90 % of life in uniform without medals, he was driving a jeep, and he expressly returned Mercedes vehicles, which were temporarily imported for the Summit of the Non-Aligned, after the conference,” said Milic.
He says that Castro became a communist and pro-soviet oriented by force, out of self-defense because the Americans could stand that he overthrew the dictator Batista, but they could never forgive nationalization of banks.
“Soon, a new Cuba. Emigrants from Florida will return. Privatization. Corruption and crime. Civil society. Ten political parties. Communists will add the prefix “reformed”, but, after the election defeat, they will turn into social democrats. Private American schools. Thousands of small stores devoured by large retail chains. Those who manage to ‘cope’, live three times better. Those who think that everything will remain the same, live worse than they do today. The greatest danger: Protection of social peace and habits of equality at the cost of foreign borrowing, which will be provided. One day, Times Magazine will write: Ten years after the death of Fidel Castro, Cuba returned to their realistic framework. Small country with limited character,” wrote Milic.
