NEW DAY FOR THE VARELA PROJECT, THE DEFINITIVE CAMPAIGN FOR DEMOCRATIC
CHANGE IN

CUBA=20
=20

After almost five decades under an order of =93no rights,=94 now, as the
Cuban people approach the door of their future with uncertainty, the
response of the group in power is to slam the door in their faces. Variou=
s
factors are combining against the Cuban people:=20

 Response to the Foreign Minister of Hugo Ch=E1vez and to Spanish Foreign
Minister Miguel =C1ngel Moratinos=20
=20
In a press conference held in

Madrid

by Miguel =C1ngel Moratinos,
Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs =
of
Mr. Hugo Ch=E1vez=92s government, Nicol=E1s Maduro, Mr. Maduro offended u=
s
Cuban citizens who have promoted the Varela Project.  The Spanish ministe=
r
approved this with his silence, avoiding saying the truth, which he knows
very well, about the Varela Project.
First, we wish to send a message of friendship, brotherhood and respect
to all Venezuelans and Spaniards of all political positions, without
distinction, and say to them that we know that this collaboration of Mr.
Maduro with his superiors from Cuba, and with the complicity of Mr.
Moratinos, are not representative of the feelings of Venezuelans and
Spaniards. In this way, the aforementioned ministers offend tens of
thousands of Cuban citizens who have signed this petition for a referendu=
m,
which is also a demand for the fundamental rights that the Cuban governme=
nt
denies of its citizens.
We ask if the Venezuelan people are objectively aware of the text of the
Varela Project; if they know that there are dozens of political prisoners
in Cuba, with sentences of up to 28 years, for demanding their rights; if
they know that the Cuban government does not dare to publish the text of
the Varela Project because it knows that the majority of Cubans would
support it en masse; if they know that the repressive apparatus persecute=
s
the activists and citizens that support the Varela Project, threatens and
harasses them, confiscates their signed petitions, libels them and even
sends impostors to make our actions =93illegal=94 when they are transpare=
nt
and supported by constitutional rights. May God wish that Venezuelans
understand it, and that media outlets that maintain some level of freedom
there may disseminate this so that Venezuelans may know the rights that
they would lose entirely if a regime, like the one that oppresses Cubans,
were to consolidate in their country. Our webpage, organized by our famil=
y
in
Madrid
because we cannot in

Cuba

, includes the texts.
([http://www.oswaldopaya.org/] www.oswaldopaya.org)
We do not know if Mr. Maduro speaks with the permission of his mentors
in

Havana

or if he escaped their control. In any case, it is another
interference, and a very grave one, because in these very moments we have
reactivated, here in

Cuba

, the campaign to collect signatures for the
Varela Project for the rights of Cubans.  Mr. Maduro=92s dismissals becom=
e
part of the persecution and hunting of our activists by the repressive
apparatus to prevent them from collecting signatures. In this way, they
violate the rights to petition and legal initiative contained
in

Cuba

=92s constitution.
Everyone in

Cuba

suffers from the action of a repressive political and
military power that acts above the law and above rights, a power that is =
a
state without rights. Cubans want change, and the referendum requested by
the Varela Project would give a voice to the people so that they could
decide on those changes in a sovereign manner and in an environment of
reconciliation and respect for all Cubans.
To Cubans it is very clear that if the power that governs Venezuela today
were to consolidate, Venezuelans would be deprived of their fundamental
rights without regard to the law, that not even those who support the
government today would have a voice or the opportunity to express
themselves, and that the poor would not even be allowed to say that they
are poor. The government of
Venezuela
needs totalitarianism to persist
in

Cuba

because it is the sanctuary and model for their vision of eternal
and complete power. But not even that will be able to sow division betwee=
n
the Venezuelan people and the Cuban people, who have the same yearning fo=
r
liberty. On the contrary, we will be more united. As we have said here:
Unity for

Liberty

.
May God wish that the friendly Venezuelan people listen to us, because if
they lose their rights, if they are trapped by the totalitarianism that
threatens them, they will have to suffer greatly and for a long time. The=
y
will have to carry out, under persecution, an authentic Bol=EDvar Project=
,
as we have done with the Varela Project.
Of one thing we are convinced: if the government represented by Mr.
Maduro could, it would establish in
Venezuela
a regime without rights like
the one in

Cuba

. They already have the support of the Spanish Socialist
government, also an ally of the Cuban government. If the people
of
Cuba
could vote in a referendum, they would do as the Venezuelan people
did the last time they voted: they would also vote for

Liberty

.
-Oswaldo Jos=E9 Pay=E1 Sardi=F1as
In the name of the citizens who organized and signed the Varela Project

-         the propaganda that saturates life and tries to strangle
understanding;=20
 =20
-         the growing repression in all aspects of life, persecuting
those who struggle peacefully and openly for their rights, even the mothe=
r
and father of a family trying to find their daily bread;
-         the poverty that has built up, without solutions, and that is
suffered by the majority, resulting in permanent anxiety and in people
spending most of their energy and time trying just to survive;

-         the blindness shown by the totalitarian leadership, with their
repeated and amplified official discourse that reaffirms the continuity o=
f
their total power as the only plan and denies to families, individual
Cubans, and the people the right to dream of their own legitimate plans a=
nd
denies them any possibility of realizing those plans;

-         the new and painful scene of supposed changes that have taken
place in Cuba, and, on a greater scale, outside of Cuba that projects,
without any foundation, an image of change that generate expectations,
debates, and conjectures about models of or steps toward changes in
Cuba=97without counting on Cubans themselves=97and that justify and
celebrate, according to their interests, the maneuvers that are attempted
substitutes for real democratic changes.=20

Taking part in this scene are not a few governments, institutions, media
outlets, and intellectual, artistic, political and religious figures. The=
y
are speaking for Cubans instead of demanding a voice for Cubans.=20

The abovementioned resources and factors are principal components of the
environment in which they try to keep Cubans trapped in fear, breaking
their will and stripping them of all hope.
=20
However, Cubans do want changes, do want a new life, and know that this i=
s
possible. This is a hope, in itself, but it is not enough. There is no
doubt that the majority feels an overall dissatisfaction, but many do not
believe that a path exists and do not expect anything anymore, even thoug=
h
they may want changes.=20
=20
But some know that there is a path, and that it is the path in which
Cubans ourselves are the protagonists. This is the path of demanding
rights. We have already been walking down this path for some time, but
today we announce it again with more determination than ever. This path i=
s
the Varela Project. Now it is clear that, as long as Cubans do not have
guaranteed rights, they will not have anything, nor can they hope for a
life more dignified and free. It is also clear that we can do what depend=
s
on us, and that nobody can prevent this. When the majority of citizens ha=
ve
decided to break peacefully=97but decidedly=97through the barriers of fea=
r,
as the first signatories of the Varela Project did, we will achieve the
changes that we want.

Many people say to us: now is when a solution like the Varela Project is
needed.

We have reinitiated the collection of signatures for the referendum of th=
e
Varela Project because we know that the demand for a referendum will have
to be done by us Cubans and because many were asking:
=20
What can we do, and how?

The Varela Project is not an intellectual exercise, or an online activity=
;
it is a concrete and visible action by citizens making a sustainable
demand.

We cannot stop denouncing that while many activists collect
signatures,

Cuba

=92s repressive apparatus is unleashing direct and very
aggressive repression, with its many resources and traps. And that while
this happens, many in the media who cover
Cuba
or who come to

Cuba

,
through diverse means, silence this campaign. Why? We will not wear
ourselves out with controversies; we only remind them that the =93Varela
Project is the path that many Cubans want to take to attain the rights of
all Cubans and because of that, as much as they attack us in a barrage of
oppression, we are not going to abandon this campaign, which is the path =
of
liberation.=94

The Varela Project is a legal, peaceful and democratic instrument to
initiate changes, giving the keys to these changes to the citizens throug=
h
a referendum that indisputably demonstrates the will of the people. It
responds to the great question that seemed not to have a response:

How to change? What can and what must we do to achieve it?

The Varela Project breaks the vicious and distracting cycles of
speculation and paralysis by opening a viable and transparent path.  The
Varela Project takes this first step that seemed impossible and that is
treated like a missing link on our path of freedom. There is no missing
link.   Let us forge more bonds because now we know that there is a path:
that Cubans themselves demand their rights!=20

We know why the Cuban government, its repressive apparatus, its
diplomats, the apparatus of lies and fear that they have created, and the=
ir
allies attack the Varela Project: Because the rights that we demand in th=
is
campaign are incompatible with the continuation of their totalitarian pow=
er
and enormous privileges. But fundamentally, they desperately attack and
suppress the Varela Project because it is a reality that is already a
liberating act for thousands of people. This seemed impossible within the
culture of fear, and without the fear of the people, communism of any for=
m
is not possible.

But what about the rest of the attackers and active repressors? Those
that have the media, resources and influence and use them=97sometimes to
attack us, other times to silence us, even to the point of boycotting us?
Sometimes they do it openly, but other times they abuse their media
resources, disguised as democratic and pluralistic. Why do they do it? We
will not explain it ourselves. The fact is that they are attacking the
decision of thousands of Cubans to achieve rights for all. We are not
competing for position, for personal benefits, for power nor glory, but
fighting for freedom.

Cuban Forum (Foro Cubano) is a civic campaign for this moment, updated
through changes, that offers a path for the people to design their nation=
al
plan. The first steps are clearly laid out in the Cuban Forum campaign:
1.     =20
The liberation of those who are imprisoned for defending, exercising and
peacefully promoting human rights.=20

Changes in the law to guarantee the freedom of expression, press and
association, the right of Cubans to settle themselves in whatever part of
our country they prefer to live in, the right of Cubans to leave Cuba and
enter freely, the right of all Cubans to have private businesses and
enterprise in our country, all the rights of workers, the right of Cubans
to elect and be elected to public office through a new electoral law, and
an end to all discrimination against Cubans in their own country.

Having opened spaces for participation through these legal changes, call
for a national dialogue and free elections for a Constituent Assembly so
that Cubans can truly decide, democratically and exercising their
sovereignty, their present and future in an environment of peace, freedom
and reconciliation on the path to fraternity.
Nobody should fear Cubans having rights and being able to express their
will peacefully and legally because this is the benefit of democracy, whe=
n
no one is excluded and it is supported by rights, solidarity and humanity=
.

The Varela Project is the path for taking the first steps that:
-         Will not permit

Cuba

to be cut up like a cake;

-         Will not lead to quick privatizations that the people cannot
control because it gives sovereign control of national life to citizens b=
y
prioritizing the institutionalization of rights as the first phase of
change; and

-         Will defend and consolidate national independence on the basis
of the real exercise of popular sovereignty. It guarantees all
opportunities for the people to express themselves in self-determination,
because only citizens who are free and exercise their rights truly have t=
he
capacity of self-determination.

Everyone knows that the repressive violence of March 2003 in

Cuba

was
carried out to try to neutralize the growing support for the Varela
Project. Although some of our imprisoned brothers were not leaders of the
Varela Project, the majority were. In that demand that we delivered for t=
he
first time in May 2002, we had already sought the liberation of those who
were political prisoners at that time.  It should not be forgotten that
there have always been political prisoners in

Cuba

, and that the Varela
Project is not the first and only campaign in which thousands of citizens
demand the liberation of political prisoners. This is the present.  It is
not a memory.

We are carrying out this campaign now because Cubans are still not
guaranteed their rights, that is to say there have not been any changes,
and because there are still many political prisoners, among them the
majority of the =93Cuban Spring=94 prisoners.

Those who are suffering cruel and inhumane imprisonment sustain the torch
of hope because they have not surrendered. How are we to forget the cause
that we defend together with them: the cause of freedom and the rights of
Cubans?

We have already begun this definitive campaign for changes
within

Cuba

and now:=20

-         We call on all Cubans that live in

Cuba

to participate in the
demand for rights by signing the Varela Project and supporting its demand=
s;
and

-         We call on all Cubans that live outside

Cuba

and all of the
friends of our people to support and participate in the campaign for the
Varela Project and to disseminate it throughout the world.

We will maintain these demands and the campaign for the Varela Project
until all the political prisoners are freed and until all Cubans enjoy
their human rights.

ALL CUBANS, ALL BROTHERS AND NOW FREEDOM!

NUEVA JORNADA DEL PROYECTO VARELA, CAMPA=D1A DEFINITIVA POR LOS CAMBIOS
DEMOCRATICOS EN CUBA
Despu=E9s de casi cinco d=E9cadas bajo el orden de =93no derechos=94,
ahora, cuando el pueblo de Cuba se asoma con incertidumbre a la puerta de
su futuro, la respuesta del grupo de poder es tirarle la puerta en las
narices. Se combinan varios factores contra el pueblo cubano:

 RESPUESTA AL SE=D1OR MINISTRO DEL EXTERIOR DE HUGO CHAVEZ Y AL MINISTRO
DEL EXTERIOR ESPA=D1OL MIGUEL ANGEL MORATINOS
=20
En una conferencia de prensa ofrecida en Madrid por el Se=F1or Miguel
=C1ngel Moratinos, Ministro del Exterior de Espa=F1a y el Ministro de
Relaciones Exteriores del Gobierno del Se=F1or  Hugo Ch=E1vez, Se=F1or
Nicol=E1s Maduro, este =FAltimo  ofendi=F3 a los ciudadanos cubanos que h=
emos
promovido el Proyecto Varela, mientras el ministro espa=F1ol lo aprobaba =
con
su silencio evadiendo decir la verdad, que muy bien conoce, sobre el
Proyecto Varela.=20
=20
Nosotros queremos, en primer lugar, enviar un mensaje de amistad,
hermandad y respeto a todos los venezolanos y espa=F1oles de todas las
posiciones pol=EDticas, sin distinci=F3n y decirles que sabemos que esta
colaboraci=F3n del Se=F1or Maduro con sus superiores de Cuba y el acatami=
ento
del Se=F1or Moratinos,  no son representativos de los sentimientos de
venezolanos y espa=F1oles. Los mencionados ministros, ofenden as=ED a dec=
enas
de miles de ciudadanos cubanos que han firmado esa petici=F3n de Referend=
o,
que es tambi=E9n una demanda de los derechos fundamentales, que el gobier=
no
en Cuba niega a sus ciudadanos.=20
=20
Nos preguntamos:=20
=20
Si el pueblo venezolano conoce objetivamente el texto del ProyectoVarela =
,
si conoce que hay decenas de prisioneros pol=EDticos, con sentencias de
hasta veintiocho a=F1os por demandar esos derechos. Si conoce que el
gobierno cubano no se atreve a publicar el texto del Proyecto Varela porq=
ue
sabe que la mayor=EDa de los cubanos lo apoyar=EDa masivamente. Si conoce=
 que
los cuerpos represivos persiguen a los activistas y a los ciudadanos que
apoyan el Proyecto Varela., los amenazan y acosan, les confiscan las
peticiones firmadas, les calumnian y hasta env=EDan impostores para
convertir en =93ilegal=94 nuestra actuaci=F3n que es transparente y que s=
e
apoya en los derechos constitucionales.=20
=20
Dios quiera que los venezolanos puedan conocerlo y que los medios de
difusi=F3n, que aun tengan alguna libertad all=ED, lo divulguen para que =
los
venezolanos conozcan los derechos que perder=EDan totalmente, de
consolidarse en su pa=EDs un r=E9gimen como el que oprime a los cubanos.
Nuestra p=E1gina web, organizada por nuestra familia en Madrid,  por que =
en
Cuba no podemos, contiene los textos. ([http://www.oswaldopay=E1.org/]
www.oswaldopay=E1.org)
=20
No sabemos si el Se=F1or Maduro habla con permiso de sus mentores en La
Habana o si se fue de control. En todo caso es una ingerencia mas, pero d=
e
las mas graves, porque precisamente en estos momentos hemos reactivado,
aqu=ED en Cuba, la campa=F1a de colectas de firmas del Proyecto Varela po=
r
los derechos de los cubanos y las descalificaciones del Se=F1or Maduro se
unen a la persecuci=F3n, a la cacer=EDa de los cuerpos represivos contra
nuestros activistas, para impedir que se colecten las firmas. Violan as=ED
los derechos a petici=F3n y a iniciativa legal que enuncia la Constituci=F3=
n
de Cuba.=20
=20
Todos en Cuba sufren la acci=F3n de un poder pol=EDtico y represivo milit=
ar
que act=FAa por encima de la ley y de los derechos. Un poder, que es un
estado de no derechos. Los cubanos quieren cambios y el Referendo que pid=
e
el Proyecto Varela, dar=EDa la voz al pueblo para que decida soberanament=
e
sobre esos cambios, en un ambiente de reconciliaci=F3n y respeto por todo=
s
los cubanos.=20
=20
Para los cubanos est=E1 muy claro que de consolidarse el poder que hoy
gobierna Venezuela, los venezolanos ser=EDan privados de sus derechos
fundamentales, sin importar lo que diga la ley y que ni siquiera los que
hoy apoyan ese gobierno, tendr=E1n voz ni posibilidad de expresarse y que
los pobres ya ni siquiera podr=E1n decir que son pobres. El gobierno de
Venezuela necesita que en Cuba persista el totalitarismo porque es su
santuario y su modelo, para su proyecto de poder eterno y total. Pero ni
eso podr=E1 sembrar la divisi=F3n entre el pueblo venezolano y el pueblo
cubano que tienen la misma vocaci=F3n de libertad. Al contrario estaremos
m=E1s unidos. Como hemos dicho aqu=ED: Unidad Para la Libertad.=20
=20
Dios quiera que ese pueblo amigo nos escuche, porque si pierden sus
derechos, si son atrapados por el totalitarismo que les amenaza, tendr=E1=
n
que sufrir mucho, por mucho tiempo. Tendr=E1n que hacer bajo la
persecuci=F3n, un aut=E9ntico Proyecto Bol=EDvar, como nosotros hemos hec=
ho el
Proyecto Varela.
=20
De algo estamos convencidos: Si el gobierno que representa el Se=F1or
Maduro pudiera, instalar=EDa en Venezuela un r=E9gimen sin derechos como =
el
instalado en Cuba. Ya cuentan desde ahora con la alianza del Gobierno
socialista espa=F1ol, aliado tambi=E9n del gobierno de Cuba. Y si el pueb=
lo
de Cuba pudiera votar en un referendo, har=EDa como hizo el pueblo
venezolano la =FAltima vez que vot=F3, tambi=E9n votar=EDa por la Liberta=
d.=20

A nombre de los ciudadanos gestores y los firmantes del Proyecto Varela

-         la propaganda que satura la vida tratando de asfixiar el
entendimiento,

-         la represi=F3n creciente en todos los aspectos de la vida,
persiguiendo, desde aquel que lucha pac=EDficamente y abiertamente por lo=
s
derechos hasta a la madre y al padre de familia que tratan de buscar el p=
an
de cada d=EDa.
=20
-         La pobreza acumulada y sin soluciones que sufre la mayor=EDa y
que constituye agobio, angustia permanente y gasto de la mayor parte de l=
a
energ=EDa y tiempo en sola supervivencia.
=20
-         La ceguera que est=E1 mostrando el grupo dirigente del poder
totalitario con su discurso oficial repetido y amplificado, que  reafirma
la continuidad de su poder total como =FAnico proyecto, negando as=ED al
pueblo, a cada familia y a cada cubano el derecho a so=F1ar con sus propi=
os
proyectos leg=EDtimos y neg=E1ndoles toda la posibilidad de realizarlo.
=20
-         El novedoso y penoso escenario virtual de cambios que se ha
instalado en Cuba y con mayor dimensi=F3n y actividad fuera de Cuba, que
proyecta, sin fundamento alguno, una imagen de cambios, que genera
expectativas, debates y conjeturas sobre modelos o pasos de cambios en
Cuba, sin contar con los propios cubanos y que justifican y celebran seg=FA=
n
sus intereses las maniobras con las que se pretenden sustituir los
verdaderos cambios democr=E1ticos. En este escenario se mueven no pocos
gobiernos, instituciones, medios de comunicaci=F3n, personalidades
intelectuales, del arte, de la pol=EDtica y religiosas. Est=E1n hablando =
por
los cubanos en vez de reclamar la voz para los cubanos. =20

Los recursos o factores mencionados son componentes principales del
ambiente con que pretenden mantener atrapados en el miedo a los cubanos,
quebr=E1ndoles su voluntad y despoj=E1ndoles de toda esperanza.
=20
Sin embargo los cubanos si quieren cambios, si quieren una nueva vida y
saben que esta es posible. Esto es en si, una esperanza, pero no es
suficiente. No hay duda de que la mayor=EDa siente una insatisfacci=F3n
integral, pero muchos no creen que exista un camino y ya no esperan nada,
aunque si quieran cambios.=20
=20
Pero algunos saben que si existe un camino  y que es el camino en el que
los propios cubanos son los protagonistas. Es el camino del reclamo de lo=

derechos. Ese camino  ya llevamos tiempo and=E1ndolo, pero hoy volvemos a
convocar con m=E1s determinaci=F3n que nunca. Este camino es el Proyecto
Varela.

Porque hoy si est=E1 demostrado, que mientras los cubanos no tengan
garantizados sus derechos, no tendr=E1n nada, ni pueden esperar una vida =
mas
digna y mas libre. Tambi=E9n est=E1 demostrado que podemos  hacer lo que
depende de nosotros mismos y que esto nadie pueda impedirlo. Cuando la
mayor=EDa de los ciudadanos se decidan y rompen pacifica, pero decididame=
nte
la barrera del miedo, como lo hicieron los primeros firmantes del Proyect=
o
Varela, lograremos los cambios que queremos.
=20
Muchos nos dicen: ahora cuando se necesita una soluci=F3n como la del
Proyecto Varela.
=20
Hemos reiniciado la colecta de firmas para el Referendo del Proyecto
Varela, porque sabemos que la demanda de Referendo tenemos que hacerla
nosotros mismos los cubanos, porque muchos preguntaban =BFQu=E9 podemos h=
acer
y como?
=20
El Proyecto Varela no es un ejercicio intelectual, ni una actividad
digital, es la acci=F3n concreta y visible de ciudadanos que realizan una
demanda sostenible. =20
=20
No podemos dejar de denunciar que mientras muchos activistas colectan
firmas, se desata la represi=F3n directa y muy agresiva de los cuerpos
represivos, con muchos recursos, trampas y bajezas. Y que mientras esto
pasa muchos de los medios de prensa y comunicaci=F3n que se ocupan de Cub=
a o
que llegan a Cuba por diversas v=EDas, silencian esta campa=F1a. =BFPor q=
u=E9?
No nos desgastaremos en pol=E9micas, solo recordamos que el `Proyecto Var=
ela
es el camino que quieren recorrer muchos cubanos, para lograr los derecho=
s
de todos los cubanos y que por eso, por mucho que nos ataquen en fuego
cruzado no vamos a abandonar esta campa=F1a que es camino de liberaci=F3n=
.=20
=20
El Proyecto Varela es un instrumento legal, pac=EDfico y democr=E1tico pa=
ra
iniciar los cambios, d=E1ndoles las llaves de esos cambios a los ciudadan=
os,
mediante un Referendo que demuestre inequ=EDvocamente la voluntad popular=
.
Responde a la gran pregunta que parec=EDa sin respuesta de =BFC=F3mo camb=
iar?
Y =BFqu=E9 podemos y tenemos que hacer para lograrlo?

El Proyecto Varela rompe los c=EDrculos viciosos y diversionistas de la
especulaci=F3n y de la par=E1lisis abriendo un camino viable y transparen=
te,
al dar ese primer paso que parec=EDa imposible y que es tratado como el
eslab=F3n perdido en la continuaci=F3n de nuestra historia por un camino =
de
libertad. No hay eslab=F3n perdido, niquelemos m=E1s cadenas, porque ahor=
a
sabemos que si hay camino: =A1que los propios cubanos demanden sus derech=
os!

Sabemos porque el gobierno Cuba, sus cuerpos represivos, sus
diplom=E1ticos, todo el aparato de mentira y miedo que han creado y sus
aliados, atacan el Proyecto Varela: Porque los derechos que reclamamos en
esa campa=F1a son incompatibles con la continuidad de su poder totalitari=
o y
sus enormes privilegios. Pero fundamentalmente lo atacan y reprimen
desesperadamente, porque es una realidad, porque ya es esa acci=F3n
liberadora de miles de personas. Algo que parec=EDa imposible dentro la
cultura del miedo. Y sin el miedo de la gente, no hay comunismo posible e=
n
ninguna modalidad.
=20
Pero =BFy los de mas atacantes y silenciadores activos? =BFLos que tienen
medios de difusi=F3n, recursos y muchas influencias y las usan, unas vece=
s
para atacarnos,  otras para silenciarnos hasta el boicot? Algunas veces l=
o
hacen abiertamente, pero otras abusando de sus recursos medi=E1ticos,
disfrazados de dem=F3cratas y pluralistas. =BFPor qu=E9 lo hacen? No lo
explicaremos nosotros. El caso es que  est=E1n atacando, la decisi=F3n de
miles de cubanos de lograr los derechos para todos. Nosotros no estamos
compitiendo por posiciones y ni beneficios propios, ni por el poder y la
gloria, sino luchando por la libertad.=20
=20
Foro Cubano es una Campa=F1a c=EDvica para este momento, actualizada por
los cambios y que ofrece un itinerario para que el pueblo pueda dise=F1ar=
 su
proyecto nacional. En Foro Cubano se definen claramente los Primeros Paso=
s:

1.-La liberaci=F3n de los que est=E1n encarcelados por defender, ejercer =
 y
promover pac=EDficamente los Derechos Humanos.=20
=20
2.- Cambios en la leyes para que se garanticen la libertad de expresi=F3n=
,
de prensa y de asociaci=F3n, el derecho de los cubanos a establecerse en
cualquier parte de nuestro pa=EDs donde prefieran vivir, el derecho de lo=
s
cubanos  a  salir de Cuba y a entrar libremente, el derecho de todos los
cubanos a tener negocios y empresas privadas en nuestro pa=EDs, todos los
derechos de los trabajadores, el derecho de los cubanos a elegir y ser
elegidos para los cargos p=FAblicos mediante  una nueva ley electoral  y =
el
fin de toda discriminaci=F3n contra los cubanos en su propio pa=EDs. =20
=20
3.- Logr=E1ndose los espacios de participaci=F3n que se abrir=E1n con est=
os
cambios en las leyes, convocar a un di=E1logo nacional y a elecciones lib=
res
para una Asamblea Constituyente para que los cubanos puedan verdaderament=
e
decidir democr=E1ticamente y soberanamente sobre su presente y su futuro =
en
un ambiente de paz, libertad y reconciliaci=F3n en camino a la fraternida=
d.

Nadie debe temer a que los cubanos tengan derechos y puedan manifestar su
voluntad pacifica y legalmente, porque ese es el bien de la democracia
cuando no existen exclusiones y va sostenida por los derechos, la
solidaridad y la fraternidad humana.
=20
El Proyecto Varela es la forma de dar estos Primeros Pasos que:


_No permitir=E1n que Cuba se reparta como un pastel,
_No deja lugar a privatizaciones desenfrenadas sin control del pueblo,
porque da a los ciudadanos control soberano de la vida nacional al  situa=
r
como primera etapa de los cambios  institucionalizaci=F3n de los derechos=
.

_Es defensa y consolidaci=F3n de la independencia nacional, sobre la base
del ejercicio real de la soberan=EDa popular. Garantiza todo el espacio a=
l
pueblo para realizarse en la autodeterminaci=F3n, ya que s=F3lo siendo li=
bres
sus ciudadanos y ejerciendo sus derechos, un pueblo posee verdaderamente =
la
capacidad de autodeterminaci=F3n.
=20
Todos saben que la asonada represiva de marzo del 2003 en Cuba, fue
realizada para tratar de neutralizar el creciente apoyo popular al Proyec=
to
Varela. Aunque algunos de nuestros hermanos encarcelados no eran dirigent=
es
del Proyecto Varela, la mayor=EDa si. En esa demanda que entregamos, por
primera vez, en Mayo del 2002, ya se ped=EDa la liberaci=F3n de los que e=
ran
prisioneros pol=EDticos en aquel momento, pues no hay que olvidar que
siempre han habido prisioneros pol=EDticos en Cuba, ni que la primera y
=FAnica campa=F1a en la que miles de ciudadanos reclaman la liberaci=F3n =
de
los prisioneros pol=EDticos, es el Proyecto Varela. Eso es actual no es u=
n
recuerdo.=20
=20
Hacemos esta campa=F1a ahora, en primer lugar, porque a los cubanos aun n=
o
se les garantizan sus derechos, es decir no han habido cambios ningunos. =
Y
tambi=E9n porque aun hay muchos prisioneros pol=EDticos, entre ellos la
mayor=EDa de los Prisioneros de la Primavera de Cuba.
=20
Ellos sufriendo prisi=F3n cruel e inhumana sostienen la antorcha de la
esperanza, porque no se han sometido. =BFC=F3mo vamos a olvidar la causa =
que
con ellos defendemos juntos; la causa de la libertad y los derechos de lo=
s
cubanos?=20
=20
Ya comenzamos esta campa=F1a definitiva por los cambios dentro de Cuba y
ahora, Convocamos:
=20
- A todos los cubanos que viven en Cuba a participar en la demanda de
derechos, firmando el Proyecto Varela y apoyando sus demandas.

_ A todos los cubanos que viven fuera de Cuba y a todos los amigos de
nuestro pueblo a que participen en la campa=F1a del Proyecto Varela, la
apoyen y la divulguen en todo el mundo.
=20
Mantendremos las demandas y la campa=F1a del Proyecto Varela hasta que
todos los prisioneros pol=EDticos sean liberados y hasta que todos los
cubanos disfruten de los derechos humanos.
=20
=A1TODOS CUBANOS, TODOS HERMANOS Y AHORA LA LIBERTAD!

 well, about the Varela Project. </span><span style=3D"font-size: 11pt;">=

<p><span style=3D"font-size: 11pt;">First, we wish to send a message of f=

l political positions, without distinction, and say to them that we know =
that this collaboration of Mr. Maduro with his superiors from Cuba, and w=
ith the complicity of Mr. Moratinos, are not representative of the feelin=
gs of Venezuelans and Spaniards. In this way, the aforementioned minister=
s offend tens of thousands of Cuban citizens who have signed this petitio=
n for a referendum, which is also a demand for the fundamental rights tha=
t the Cuban government denies of its citizens.</span><span style=3D"font-=

<p><span style=3D"font-size: 11pt;">We ask if the Venezuelan people are o=
bjectively aware of the text of the Varela Project; if they know that the=
re are dozens of political prisoners in Cuba, with sentences of up to 28 =
years, for demanding their rights; if they know that the Cuban government=
 does not dare to publish the text of the Varela Project because it knows=
 that the majority of Cubans would support it <em>en masse</em>; if they =
know that the repressive apparatus persecutes the activists and citizens =
that support the Varela Project, threatens and harasses them, confiscates=
 their signed petitions, libels them and even sends impostors to make our=
 actions &ldquo;illegal&rdquo; when they are transparent and supported by=
 constitutional rights. May God wish that Venezuelans understand it, and =
that media outlets that maintain some level of freedom there may dissemin=
ate this so that Venezuelans may know the rights that they would lose ent=
irely if a regime, like the one that oppresses
Cubans, were to consolidate in their country. Our webpage, organized by o=

<p><span style=3D"font-size: 11pt;">We do not know if Mr. Maduro speaks w=

<place w:st=3D"on">Cuba
</place>
</country-region>, the campaign to collect signatures for the Varela Proj=
ect for the rights of Cubans.&nbsp; Mr. Maduro&rsquo;s dismissals become =
part of the persecution and hunting of our activists by the repressive ap=
paratus to prevent them from collecting signatures. In this way, they vio=
late the rights to petition and legal initiative contained in

<place w:st=3D"on">Cuba
</place>
</country-region>suffers from the action of a repressive political and mi=

state without rights. Cubans want change, and the referendum requested by=
 the Varela Project would give a voice to the people so that they could d=
ecide on those changes in a sovereign manner and in an environment of rec=
onciliation and respect for all Cubans. </span><span style=3D"font-size: =
11pt;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style=3D"font-size: 11pt;">To Cubans it is very clear that if th=
e power that governs Venezuela today were to consolidate, Venezuelans wou=
ld be deprived of their fundamental rights without regard to the law, tha=
t not even those who support the government today would have a voice or t=
he opportunity to express themselves, and that the poor would not even be=
 allowed to say that they are poor. The government of
<country-region w:st=3D"on">Venezuela
</country-region>needs totalitarianism to persist in
<country-region w:st=3D"on">
<place w:st=3D"on">Cuba
</place>
</country-region>because it is the sanctuary and model for their vision o=
f eternal and complete power. But not even that will be able to sow divis=
ion between the Venezuelan people and the Cuban people, who have the same=
 yearning for liberty. On the contrary, we will be more united. As we hav=
e said here: Unity for

<p><span style=3D"font-size: 11pt;">May God wish that the friendly Venezu=
elan people listen to us, because if they lose their rights, if they are =
trapped by the totalitarianism that threatens them, they will have to suf=
fer greatly and for a long time. They will have to carry out, under perse=
cution, an authentic Bol&iacute;var Project, as we have done with the Var=
ela Project.</span><span style=3D"font-size: 11pt;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style=3D"font-size: 11pt;">Of one thing we are convinced: if the=
 government represented by Mr. Maduro could, it would establish in
<country-region w:st=3D"on">Venezuela
</country-region>a regime without rights like the one in
<country-region w:st=3D"on">
<place w:st=3D"on">Cuba
</place>
</country-region>. They already have the support of the Spanish Socialist=
 government, also an ally of the Cuban government. If the people of
<country-region w:st=3D"on">Cuba
