Brazilians
Know
the
Truth
about
Cuba
Brasilia
-
Seminars
on
the
truth
about
Cuba
continued
Wednesday
in
Brazil
with
sessions
at
the
University
of
Brasilia
and
the
Leonel
Brizola
Foundation
of
the
Democratic
Labor
Party
(PDT).
The
seminars
by
Cuban
experts
aim
to
get
out
the
facts
about
the
revolutionary
process
in
the
island,
as
well
as
the
recent
decision
by
the
Cuban
Communist
Party
to
update
the
socialist
model,
with
approved
changes
to
economic
policy.
Participants
at
the
forums
included
Kenia
Serrano,
a
member
of
the
Cuban
parliament
and
president
of
the
Cuban
Institute
of
Friendship
with
the
Peoples;
Cuban
Book
Institute
president
Zuleica
Romay;
the
Cubadebate
website's
editor,
Rosa
Miriam
Elizalde;
and
Magali
Llort,
mother
of
Fernando
Gonzalez,
one
of
the
five
Cuban
anti-terrorists
unfairly
imprisoned
in
the
United
States.
Organized
by
Brazilian
groups,
the
seminars
got
underway
last
Friday
in
Sao
Paulo,
continued
in
Rio
de
Janeiro
Monday,
and
reached
Brasilia
yesterday
with
a
debate,
The
Cuban
Revolution
52
Years
Later:
Transformations
and
Challenges.
During
another
seminar,
Cuba's
Image
in
the
Brazilian
Press:
an
Objective
Vision
of
Cuban
Reality,
Brazilian
journalist
Carlos
Alberto
Almeida
said
that
speaking
about
that
issue
in
Brazil
is a
great
injustice,
because
Brazilians
are
prevented
from
knowing
the
truth
about
the
Cuba.
The
Brazilian
big
business
media
is
not
interested
in
the
facts
about
Cuban,
meaning
people
have
no
way
of
knowing
that
Cuba
and
Brazil
are
carrying
out
a
joint
project
to
produce
vaccines
for
Africa,
or
that
they
are
associates
in a
tripartite
program
with
Haiti
for
health
care
in
that
country.
It
is
also
not
known
that
Cuba,
a
country
that
eradicated
illiteracy
in
the
early
1960s,
designed
the
"Yes,
I
Can"
method
to
teach
people
how
to
read
and
write
not
only
in
Spanish
and
other
languages,
but
in
indigenous
dialects
as
well. |
