Freddy Balsera and Stephen Zack belong to different generations, and their life experiences have been completely different, but for a long time they have shared a common goal: bringing about a change in relations between the United States and Cuba.<\/p>\n

They travelled to Havana to attend the opening ceremony of the American Embassy in Cuba, as a way to show their support for this new path taken by the Obama Administration.<\/p>\n

Balsera helped to design President Barack Obama’s national Latino television and radio campaign, and will also be working in Hillary Clinton\u2019s campaign in Florida. Zack was the first person of Latino descent to be President of the American Bar Association, and is currently one of the partners at Boies, Schiller & Flexner law firm.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t believe this is happening,\u201d said Balsera. \u201cLast week I told someone \u2018I\u00b4ll see you in Havana!\u2019 I never thought I\u2019d be able to say something like that someday.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat the embargo has failed is no secret for anyone,\u201d he added. \u201cCuban exiles have acknowledged that it hasn\u2019t brought about the change they expected. The disagreement now is between those who want to find new options and have the courage to speak about it openly, and those who for other reasons, whether emotional or of any other kind, think that the policy of coercion should continue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Obama named me representative to the United Nations last year,\u201d said Zeck, \u201ca post in which I had the opportunity to witness the scant support the embargo enjoys. Only three countries were in favour of it: the U.S., Israel and Palau. The international impact of our policy towards Cuba was also a reason for change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Balsera, a second generation Cuban, was born in the United States. Zack on the other hand, American by birth, was taken to Cuba when he was only two months old. He lived in a mansion in Miramar that had belonged to his grandfather, a rich Jewish man who had left the country after his properties were expropriated in 1961 by the Revolutionary government.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour whole life you hear the stories of this mythical place called Cuba,\u201d said Balsera. \u201cThey show you pictures, they tell you how it was, but it wasn\u2019t possible to visit. Unlike my American friends, visiting the town where my parents were raised was not a possibility for me. It was something I could not do until 2002, when I travelled to Cuba for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zack returned to Cuba in 2008 for the first time; then he came back last June to take part in a meeting with lawyers and judges in Cuba.<\/p>\n

\u201cObama\u2019s policy towards Cuba is reversible\u201d, opines Balsera when asked about the future of this succession of surprising events. \u201cA lot will be at stake in the next elections, and there\u2019s great risk that everything that Obama is doing falls into a standstill or is reversed if a Republican wins the elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t agree with that completely,\u201d said Zack. \u201cIf you pay attention to the debates, what the Republicans are saying is that they would change Obama\u2019s policy towards Iran, or that they would change Obamacare. With the exception of Marco Rubio (who is not going to be president), the rest of the candidates have said nothing about changing Obama\u2019s policy to Cuba. I don\u2019t think they will because the Latino vote is gaining more and more importance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStephen\u2019s approach here is very practical,” replied Balsera, \u201cbut if we analyse this in more detail, an interesting fact emerges. All the candidates have to win the presidential primary elections first. Florida is a state of utmost importance to win the Republican primary, and as we get closer to it, the candidates will start voicing their opinions on Cuba.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we look at the block of Cuban-American Republican voters,\u201d he continued, \u201cthe group that has shown the strongest rejection of the new policy, we realize that it is not possible to win without them. Therefore, the rhetoric of all the Republican candidates is going to be extremely aggressive against Cuba. What is going to happen is that the candidates who are to succeed will have to seek the support of Cuban-Americans in Congress. And what they are going to be asking in return is that they reverse everything Obama has done.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Balsera\u2019s opinion, hope lies on the new waves of Cuban immigrants who have registered to vote. \u201cThere are different groups: the historic exiles from the 1960s, the \u00e9migr\u00e9s who arrived from Mariel, the rafters from the 1990s, and those who have won the U.S. lottery (for visas), as well as newly arrived rafters. Their experiences vary a great deal from one group to the other. My wife, for instance, who was born and raised in Cuba, has a lot of family here, while me, on the contrary, have none.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the future of Cuba, Zack thinks things are complicated. \u201cI don\u2019t think things will change overnight,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’d be arrogant of me as a foreigner to tell Cubans what\u2019s going to happen here,\u201d said Balsera. \u201cI\u2019m here to visit the land where my parents were born, and to show my solidarity to the Cuban people, taking part in this historic moment, because I believe that the best for Cuba and the best for the United States is a rapprochement between the two peoples. That will create the conditions for the people of Cuba to attain everything they ever wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
