But in silence. Not raising a ruckus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The protests were not like at other times when the community has been affected by something that deeply concerns them. In Miami, nobody took to the streets to protest this enormous harm to family communication; the media also did not echo the dissatisfaction. The same happened in October when the administration imposed the same measure for U.S. airlines\u2019 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/cuba-usa\/u-s-suspends-charter-flights-to-cuba-except-to-havana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">commercial flights<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cubans protested, essentially, in the offices of the companies that rent the airplanes, which, of course, can do nothing. \u201cPeople have come to protest here and are anxious about what will happen. They are booking in bulk for flights before March 10 (when the closure begins) because no one knows what the future holds in store,\u201d explains Marisol Rodr\u00edguez, director of the Marazul company, which flies about 18 times a day to the island.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But no one has taken to the streets or concentrated in front of the offices of Cuban-American politicians who support this type of measures. The director of the Cuban Research Institute (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cri.fiu.edu\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CRI<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) of Florida International University (FIU), Jorge Duany, thinks that this kind of apathy is due to the political environment surrounding the community and that arouses fear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe first factor would be the long tradition of more conservative domination in these last 60 years, during which there have been serious incidents. I would say that they may be afraid although the community has changed, we no longer see the bombings that happened in the 1970s. Miami is still a place where public opinion is dominated by the right wing that opposes the Cuban system,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, Duany adds, it should also be borne in mind that \u201cmany are not citizens nor have they legalized their situation in this country. Now we must bear in mind that in the last 20 years we have noticed a decrease in public activities. Here the last great demonstration took place during the case of the child Eli\u00e1n Gonz\u00e1lez or the death of Fidel Castro. But nothing like the activism that existed in the 1980s, which was much more dynamic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiomara Almaguer, owner of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/xaelcharter.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xael<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> charter company, agrees with some of this. \u201cWhat happens is that people don&#8217;t have time to protest in the streets. The really great concern is going to work, taking children to school, bathing, eating and sleeping. I never saw thousands of Cubans in the street except during Mariel [maritime bridge] asking that people to be allowed to arrive.\u201d The Mariel-Key West <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/mundo\/america_latina\/2010\/06\/100528_mariel_exodo_cuba_30_aniversario_lh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">maritime bridge<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> occurred in the summer of 1980, when about 125,000 people left Cuba.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And she says: \u201cPresident [George Walker] Bush in his time suspended the trips (2004) allowing them just every few years and everyone went to the office to protest, but there is no organized structure because here the right wing controls that structure, they are the ones who are heard in the press and confuse people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both Almaguer and Rodr\u00edguez are clear about one thing: restrictions on flights, both commercial and charter, only harm the Cuban family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cForget the business, here the greatest harm is the human issue, which is relegated to the background because the measures hurt the family, they are damaging that bond that is so important. Of course, it has a financial impact, but for me what\u2019s most important is the damage they did to the Cuban family, monstrous, inhuman, it\u2019s against human rights,\u201d underlined Almaguer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rodr\u00edguez, on the other hand, clarifies that perhaps it is still early to see a major reaction. \u201cFor me the human rights of the Cuban family are being violated. But maybe they are not protesting more publicly because they will be waiting for other changes,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>An end to flights?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201cother changes\u201d are just the rumor that Washington could end all flights at once, isolate Cuba from the United States by air.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last Friday Mar\u00eda Gonz\u00e1lez was getting ready at the Miami airport to get on a flight to Camag\u00fcey. She looked desperate. \u201cI don&#8217;t know what will become of my life. I have my parents and my grandmother there and I try to see them every year. I don\u2019t want to even think that this is my last trip. I don&#8217;t know what else these people want from us,\u201d she said, referring to the Trump administration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the first October announcement the Miami airport has been unable to cope with the flights to Cuba, which are leaving crowded. \u201cIn December we had full flights because people wanted to travel before the application of the measure to commercial flights on December 10. We also sold out the tickets, it was the Christmas season and the end of the year that is always family time,\u201d says Gonz\u00e1lez, from Marazul.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During those days, charter flights were the \u201cpinch hitters\u201d when the commercial flights closed. \u201cPeople came to us as an alternative, it represented an additional expense for them,\u201d she explains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the time being the matter remains the same. Pressed by the deadline of March 10, when charter flights to provinces will be closed, they are booking and flying in droves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey are trying to take advantage because they don&#8217;t know what will happen after March 10,\u201d Gonz\u00e1lez says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the way, some opposition media in Florida had decreed a total halt on Cuban flights to Cuba for January, but the call doesn\u2019t seem to have succeeded. The Miami airport is still crowded daily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI had booked my ticket for January a few months ago. But I want to return by the end of spring. Now these guys tell me that I can only go to Havana, without having any consideration for what it costs me to get to Santiago de Cuba. This is an abuse against Cubans,\u201d said Daniel Garc\u00eda, who arrived in Miami six years ago and regularly travels to Cuba with the savings from his work at a gas station in Hialeah.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the travelers with whom <\/span><b>OnCuba<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has talked these days say the same. The answers are almost the same. Words abound, with some insults in the middle, such as \u201cabuse,\u201d \u201cinjustice,\u201d \u201chuman rights violations.\u201d Some bold ones say this will have electoral consequences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Elections, what?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Analysts and charter owners are on the same wavelength. \u201cI really don&#8217;t know what they were thinking, it seems to me that the administration has placed its bet on consolidating the Cuban vote, but it is a wrong bet,\u201d says Duany, from FIU, for whom the Republican vote of Cuban origin depends on the age and year of arrival in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAll calculation is mathematical. The community has two opposing visions of the links with Cuba. Last year, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/cuba-ee-uu\/los-cubano-americanos-en-miami-divididos-en-sus-puntos-de-vista-hacia-cuba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the survey conducted by the University<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> indicated that those most inclined to approve this measure came in the first wave. The recent ones vote for Democrats or are independent. And they have what it takes to oppose the measure,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLet\u2019s hope so!\u201d Xiomara Almaguer said when asked about the electoral impact of the new restrictions. \u201cI think there will be an impact and regarding that we must work against those responsible for this barbarism,\u201d she added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Moving the chips<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When on January 10 the U.S. Department of Transportation announced the restrictions of charter flights to the provinces, it specified two things: that the decision is \u201cuntil further notice,\u201d as happened with commercial flights, but also said that it will soon announce the amount of charter flights that will be allowed daily. It still hasn&#8217;t done so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2016 Havana and Washington signed an agreement that flights to Havana have a daily limit of 18, although on several occasions they reached 22 or 23. But at that time there were also flights to the provinces. Now the charter companies find themselves in a tight spot, that is, to transport to the Cuban capital all the passengers that were going to the provinces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hours after the announcement, the charter companies started studying alternatives to reroute their flights, but they have collided with a wall: the Department of Transportation has not yet announced the number of flights to Havana that will be allowed daily, none of them knows how many they will be able to make and the aeronautical authorities have not yet reported the number of flights as of April. At the moment, they only have the old quota for March, but that quota is supposed to be partially obsolete as of March 10.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, and not less important, the Cuban authorities have not expressed themselves in this regard. At this time no one knows if the Havana airport has the capacity to receive the possible increase in flights from the United States. An increase counting on commercial and charter flights to absorb the flow of passengers that until now were distributed throughout the provinces. \u201cWe still don&#8217;t know what will happen to Havana,\u201d Almaguer said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But they are mulling something, maybe going back to the old days. \u201cPeople will continue traveling, that is a fact. And to tell the truth, there is an experience of traveling through third countries, something that we would definitely be offering for Cubans to visit their relatives. We are studying the options of opening charter flights to the provinces like that,\u201d explains the director of Marazul.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right now, there is already a Mexican airline that travels directly from Cancun to Santa Clara. And Cancun is just an hour&#8217;s flight from Miami.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When on January 10 the Trump administration decided to reduce direct charter flights from the United States to nine Cuban airports, leaving just Havana as a gateway, thousands of Cubans protested throughout the United States.
