Cuban President Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel affirmed that the elimination of the term \u201ccommunism\u201d in the draft new constitution of the country is not a \u201crenouncement\u201d since it is implicit in socialism, in what was his first televised interview since he assumed the post in April.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/youtu.be\/DPteuVcXd0Y<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t understand it as a renunciation,\u201d D\u00edaz-Canel responded after the president of the Venezuelan state-run Telesur channel, Patricia Villegas, asked him why the provisional text of the next Magna Carta only mentions \u201csocialism\u201d as State policy, compared to the one in force that consigns the \u201cadvance toward the Communist society.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Cuban president referred to the ideas of German philosopher Karl Marx, who presented socialism as a step previous to achieving the goal of the communist society, when arguing that \u201ccommunism and socialism are intimately related\u201d and \u201cany of the two terms implies the other.\u201d<\/p>\n

In that sense, he defended that almost six decades after the current system of Soviet inspiration under the leadership of Fidel Castro was imposed after the 1959 Revolution, today the country is \u201ccloser to the construction of socialism, which is complex and wide ranging.\u201d<\/p>\n

Communist Party, higher leading force<\/strong><\/p>\n

What will not be modified with respect to the current Constitution of 1976 is the absolute power of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), which will remain as the State\u2019s \u201chigher leading force,\u201d in an attempt to reinforce the system by preventing the emergence of other political forces.<\/p>\n

Regarding this matter, the Telesur journalist also asked for the opinion of the Cuban president, who referred to the need to maintain \u201cunity\u201d in the face of alleged foreign attacks to fragment the island\u2019s society and policy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Cuban revolution\u2019s enemy knows that its weapon is to fragment our unity,\u201d he said, in apparent allusion to the United States and the island\u2019s dissidents, most of them established and organized in the nearby peninsula of Florida, where they have a strong political influence.<\/p>\n

D\u00edaz-Canel affirmed that the country\u2019s young generations \u201cidentify with the revolution and with the Party\u201d and therefore they are in favor of the system that forbids other political forces on the margin of the PCC.<\/p>\n

There will be no dialogue while the United States keeps its \u201cabnormal attitude\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

Cuban President Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel ruled out there could be a dialogue between his country and the United States while the Donald Trump administration keeps its \u201cabnormal attitude\u201d toward the island.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to dialogue, but it can only be as equals, that we be respected and that our sovereignty and our independence is not conditioned, because we don\u2019t accept impositions and we are not willing to make concessions,\u201d the president affirmed in an interview with Telesur, the first since he assumed the post last April.<\/p>\n

Cuba and the United States reestablished diplomatic relations during Barack Obama\u2019s last term in office after more than half a century of enmity, a historic \u201cthaw\u201d abruptly stopped after the arrival to the White House of Trump, who was against the process promoted by his predecessor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Americans don\u2019t want a repeat of Cuba in any other place in Latin America\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cuban President Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel also accused the United States of wanting to impose neoliberalism in Latin America and of wanting to prevent Cuba\u2019s example to be \u201crepeated\u201d in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have tried to fracture the unity in the integration mechanisms\u201d of the region like the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA), reaffirmed D\u00edaz-Canel, referring to Washington, during his first interview given to the Venezuelan Telesur channel after almost five months in power.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Americans don\u2019t want a repeat of Cuba in any other place in Latin America,\u201d the president affirmed and specifically accused the Donald Trump government of \u201cpressuring the peoples\u201d of the region through political and economic strategies to adopt \u201ca position against Venezuela.\u201d<\/p>\n

He asserted that, in collusion with the Venezuelan oligarchy, the United States has tried to destabilize the government of Nicol\u00e1s Maduro through \u201cnon-conventional warfare,\u201d the promotion of \u201cviolence within society\u201d and \u201ceconomic and financial blockade.\u201d<\/p>\n

He underlined, however, that the adversaries of the Maduro government \u201chave slammed the door in their faces\u201d since he \u201ccontinues resisting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diaz-Canel also assessed the presidential victory of leftist Andres Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador<\/a> in Mexico, whom he defined as \u201chope for Mexico and also for Latin America and the Caribbean.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Cuban president was of the opinion that Mexico\u2019s still president-elect\u2019s imminent arrival to power, previewed for December 1, will contribute to balance the \u201ccorrelation of forces\u201d in the region in the political sphere.<\/p>\n

He also said that L\u00f3pez Obrador \u201chas a tremendous commitment to Mexico\u2019s renovation\u201d and will make an effort to promote economic and social development.<\/p>\n

Lastly, D\u00edaz-Canel referred to Cuba\u2019s role as host to Colombia\u2019s peace process, since it has been the venue of the talks between the government of that country and the FARC guerrilla group, which culminated in 2016, and is now hosting the talks with the National Liberation Army (ELN) guerrilla group, currently suspended.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to support the struggle for peace in Colombia,\u201d said the Cuban president, after underlining his wish that \u201cthe parties can talk and resolve\u201d their differences.<\/p>\n

Talks with Ra\u00fal Castro, \u201cpractically every day\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cuban President Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel revealed that he speaks \u201cpractically every day\u201d with Ra\u00fal Castro, the leader of the governing Communist Party and his predecessor in the post, with whom he has a \u201cvery personal\u201d relationship.<\/p>\n

In the first interview given after assuming the Cuban presidency four months ago, D\u00edaz-Canel said that Ra\u00fal Castro, 87, devotes his attention to the \u201cintensity\u201d with which he is working, as well as on \u201ceverything being done,\u201d and he \u201cgives his advice very sincerely and without the slightest hint of vanity, of imposing or limiting us in something.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt times I feel he is like a father who is guiding me and who at the same time is letting us walk, doing without continuing to carry out his functions and his hierarchy as first secretary of the Party,\u201d he said in statements given in Havana to the Latin American Telesur channel.<\/p>\n

D\u00edaz-Canel affirmed that the Cuban people \u201cis very aware that Ra\u00fal is present, he is active and is always paying attention to what is happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why he considered that \u201cin everything that is done there is a continuity of the commitment of the Party, the government, the nation, to the people\u201d and he said that he feels \u201cvery sure\u201d just like the members of the Council of Ministers and of the government \u201cbecause we follow that line, that leadership and because of the way in which he educates.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is also thinking of the Revolution\u2019s continuity, of the Revolution\u2019s future, when no generations, neither mine nor the future ones, will have the historic merit that Fidel and Ra\u00fal and the generation they led were able to achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n

He highlighted the \u201cexample\u201d and the \u201cgreat commitment\u201d that is \u201cbeing passed on, taking the steps along the paths that they opened, walking behind two giants,\u201d which is what they represent for him.<\/p>\n

Government \u201cfor the people, by the people and for the Revolution\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

When assessing the first months of his government, D\u00edaz-Canel pointed out that they have been weeks of \u201ca great deal of experience\u201d and of \u201creflection\u201d in which a \u201ccollective exercise\u201d has been done with the Council of Ministers under the concept of government \u201cfor the people, by the people and for the Revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also referred to the draft of the new Constitution currently being debated by the people on the island for its subsequent approval in a referendum and he considered that that text will be \u201cstrengthened\u201d with the incorporation of the contributions of that discussion.<\/p>\n

When asked about the issues in the draft of the constitutional reform which have been controversial in the debate like the limits in the concentration of property and wealth, he pointed out that the discussion lies in what \u201cmust be in the Constitution and not the laws and the procedures.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his opinion it is \u201cthe popular debate and the wisdom that is going to have the last word.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said he also agreed, as the draft of the new Constitution proposes, in modifying the definition of marriage in the text, which would open the doors to the eventual approval of a law that will endorse same-sex marriages on the island.<\/p>\n

The president said he coincides with the focus of recognition of that type of union between persons \u201cwithout any restrictions\u201d because the country and the concepts are changing. \u201cWe are not in a glass bubble and we are living realities,\u201d he commented.<\/p>\n

In recent years, he said, \u201cthere has been a thought evolution,\u201d while he defended that there didn\u2019t exist \u201cany type of discrimination,\u201d but he also recognized that different positions in relation to that proposal that still subsist in Cuban society are appearing \u201chonestly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Catholic Church and the evangelical churches have openly shown they are against the constitutional modification that would pave the way for same-sex marriages.<\/p>\n

D\u00edaz-Canel\u2019s exclusive interview with Telesur, a prerecorded broadcast and supposedly recorded days before, has captured interest in Cuba since it is the first given by the 58-year-old president, who last April 20 was handed the command of the country by Ra\u00fal Castro, who will remain at the head of the PCC until 2021.<\/p>\n
