He Cuban Movement of Military Conscientious ObjectorsMade up of former officers of the Armed Forces (FAR) and the Ministry of Interior (MININT), the FAR asked In the supposed scenario of an uprising, protect the population with their weapons, not shoot at them.
“There is a possibility of a new dawn for our country in 2024 Or that an even darker phase will begin than what we know to date,” the former soldiers said in a statement published by the Cuba Siglo 21 Idea Laboratory.
“The Cuban Communist Party does not govern as declared in Article 5 of the Constitution. A new oligarchic class—which, along with GAESA, controls 70% of national wealth and 95% of financial transactions—has usurped imperial power and turned its back on basic needs. Food, health, housing, education, public order and other essentials which this Constitution formally protects,” they added.
Ex-soldiers pointed out that “The Cuban people suffer from the totalitarian dictatorship of the mafia, parasitic and irresponsible oligarchy that only protects its interests.” And that, after 11J, ” has encouraged Constant exodus under the illusion of getting rid of pockets of insurgencyBut the persistence of the opposition shows that they will not be able to prevent new social explosions, which are already “inevitable in this dysfunctional and broken system”.
“We know that people close to the central core of this new oligarchic elite ensure that Raul Castro will die in 2024. We also learned that they are already evaluating options to liquidate any potential leader who may stand in the way of their aspiration to maintain control of power,” they said in their message to FAR.
According to the ex-military, “Military Counter Intelligence (CIM) has always been the oligarchic elite’s favorite agency for these conspiracies.“And “there are some corrupt and adulterous commanders, who are ready to neutralize anyone who hinders the aspirations of the Castro Espin family and their allies – whether in FAR, MININT, PCC or GAESA.”
“Depending on CIM and other institutions, The Castro Espin family and those close to them, even before the death of Raul Castro, are preparing to begin a new purge. To remove from the environment those who might interfere with their objectives due to their historical trajectory, reputation, level of information and/or command of troops. They are using proactive measures to identify and neutralize potential dissidents, such as spreading rumors and monitoring reactions to them. Then, as usual, they will want to hide their actions behind epidemics, accidents, criminal attacks and other inventions. We know that, but this will not stop the growing awareness among the military and the people,” the former military members said in the message, although they did not explain how they obtained this information.
They indicated that The FAR owes its loyalty to the people and it is to them, not to the oligarchic caste, that they will always be united..
“There is no ‘order and command’ because of higher officials who seek to attack people. The FAR should protect the population with their weapons, not shoot at them. Helping to remove this band of thieves from power is merit, not treachery,” they thought.
“Rebellion is an existing constitutional right (Article 4).“Citizens have the right to fight by all means, including armed struggle, when no other means is possible against anyone who attempts to subvert the political, social and economic order established by this Constitution,” they added.
The movement said it was not for a military coup, but “to move from law to law”. And that he neither wants nor calls for violence, “but how change comes will depend on the oppressors, not the oppressed.”
“There is Legal for Cuban military and civiliansForm a National Liberation Committee and use Article 4 of the virtually defunct communist constitution of 2019 to overthrow the current mafia regime and end the long night of totalitarian rule in Cuba,” they said.
“Once the oligarchy is removed from power, a set of basic interim norms will be implemented immediately that will replace the 2019 constitution and a commission will be formed to prepare for free elections and another that will draft a new democratic constitution, once approved in a referendum. , he will henceforth govern the future of the nation,” the ex-army proposed.
“From the first day of the end of totalitarianism, the freedom of more than a thousand political prisoners could be immediately returned, as well as the deportation and discrimination for ideological reasons.. Full independence and the exercise of economic initiative could be promoted for all Cubans without exclusion, food production and public health would soon be restored, and an emerging plan could be implemented to support the most vulnerable sector of the population, among other urgent tasks. they added.
“The liberation of autocracy will allow the country to develop with the most modern technologies and thus Finally bring Cuban society into the new information age of the 21st century“, they concluded.
