Interviews from Havana – Ricardo Alarcon on Cuban Independence

2015-09-15 1

Today Cristina Escobar continues her conversation with Cuban statesman, diplomat and lawmaker Ricardo Alarcon, who notes some key moments in Cuban history and says he doesn’t fear U.S. domination in the current normalization process. Cuba, he says, will continue to be a small independent nation next to a big country that poses a threat to humanity. One challenge is to strengthen democracy. How? By continuing to uphold a system of social and economic justice and equality in which the voters control the elected officials –a system in which the people aren’t spectators, but protagonists. teleSUR
