More than 130 former political prisoners present proposal for Cuba's political future

In Miami, more than 130 former Cuban political prisoners presented a document addressed to the people of Cuba and the United States. It supports a negotiated solution to the island's crisis while setting a limit: they would not endorse a formula designed to preserve the current political system.

The document distinguishes that refusal from provisional acceptance of a mixed, technocratic transitional government. The described formula would include military officers and officials from the previous government with acceptable records, alongside other participants. It does not reject every negotiation; it rejects an agreement preserving the current system under the ruling elite's dominance.

The presentation took place at the Brigade 2506 Museum in Little Havana. Titled ‘To the People of Cuba and the United States,’ the document centers a negotiated response to Cuba's crisis and differentiates a temporary transition from a pact keeping the political system intact.

Reference to a transitional government does not equal acceptance of existing power. The proposal provisionally contemplates a mixed structure that could include former officials considered not responsible for crimes. In contrast, it objects to an arrangement leaving control with the current elite.

The proposal presents negotiation as a possible path but conditions it on not guaranteeing continuation of the existing system. It separates provisional support for a transitional government from an agreement that prolongs the current political order.
