John Bolton acknowledges Yes victory in Cuban constitutional referendum
Long before any preliminary results of the vote on the constitutional referendum in Cuba were released on February 24, the security advisor to the current U.S. administration, John Bolton, tried to disqualify the results of the referendum on his Twitter account.
As Bolton wrote: “Today’s constitutional referendum is another deception by the Cuban regime to cover up its repression and tyranny,” he said in a message on his Twitter account.
“The United States supports the calls of the Cuban people for freedom and democracy,” said one of the crusaders in the war against socialism in the world.
Bolton’s anticipated tantrum may well be seen as an overwhelming recognition of the Yes by the Constitution. With his tweet, the hawk didn’t even offer the benefit of the doubt of a Pyrrhic victory to the so-called opponents – actually mercenaries serving Washington – who, for months, especially in the networks, unleashed a strong campaign in favor of voting NO.
Apparently, Bolton, once again deceived by the reports of those who represent his interests on the island, had a large percentage of abstention, and it is probable that the result that five million Cubans had already gone to the polls at the stroke of eleven o’clock in the morning was the trigger of his media rage.
It is clear that Bolton, like other mechanisms of imperial domination, feels panic for the continuity of the Cuban Revolution, or what is the same, the prolongation of socialism for which the people went out to vote massively this Sunday, included in the new Constitution.
As I wrote recently, in this same place, about a show provoked in the headquarters of the OAS against the referendum:
“Cuban democracy is the antipode of coups d’état, invasions, massive repressions in the style of the Condor Plan, intromission in the internal affairs of other nations, neoliberalism or inequality and other democratic practices promoted by the OAS throughout its history.
It is logical that Bolton “tries to discredit Cuban democratic practice, especially if one takes into account that it has nothing to do with the bipartisan plutocracy that leads that country in defense of the rights of one percent of the population, much less with the democracy that the United States expects from Latin American countries and whose main precept is unconditional subordination.
“The best example of the latter is that organization’s continued attack on Venezuela, the nation where the most democratic elections have been held in the last two decades.
In Bolton’s concept of democracy, the same as that of the OAS, “there is no room for social progress, solidarity, or Latin American integration if it is not under the aegis of the historical owner of the Latin American backyard.
It is not surprising, therefore, that the new crusaders against world socialism “are terrified by the possibility of another resounding Yes of the Cuban people to its Revolution,” especially after Trump’s speech last week in Miami worked, more than as a threat, as the most effective call to unity.
